"There is a growing interest and curiosity about Brazil within the UAE, following the recent launch of Emirates Airlines direct flights to Sao Paulo. The festival aims to capture the spirit of Brazilian culture and cuisine which can be enjoyed by everyone. We are confident it will be a great success," said Stephane Blanc, Director of Operations for the hotel.
The cuisine of Brazil, like Brazil itself, varies greatly by region. This diversity reflects the country's mix of native Amerindians, Portuguese, Africans, Italians, Spaniards, Germans, Syrians, Lebanese and Japanese among others.
Emirates Airlines have sponsored the flight tickets for a troupe of exotic samba dancers and a lively Brazilian band who will entertain guests throughout the festival. The airline launched its first flight to Sao Paulo on the 1st of October and flies to the destination six times a week.
The Festival will take place in the Meridien Village, at Le Meridien Dubai, and guests can enjoy a delicious buffet which includes regular beverages and superb entertainment.
Le Méridien Dubai is home to a variety of award winning restaurants, which include the signature, Café Chic; overseen by two star Michelin Philippe Gauvreau, as well as Yalumba, M's Beef Bistro, Kiku, the Seafood Market, Casa Mia and Sukhothai to name a few.
The Brazilian Food Festival is one of the many exciting events planned for 2008.
