Florianópolis will host the first Gastronomic Festival of Spring, bringing together restaurants on the beaches of Cachoeira do Bom Jesus, Lagoinha, Ponta das Canas and Brava to expand and promote the gastronomic diversity of the Ponta Norte region. The event, which runs from September 22 to October 23, will feature special meals at affordable prices.

The festival originated from the creation of Via Gastronomic Ponta Norte, an initiative of bars and restaurants looking for alternatives to showcase regional cuisine during the low season and promote the local economy throughout the year, and to encourage tourists to visit during the summer. .

“Many already know [a região]but not various opportunities outside the beaches, such as very good food, with little variety for the public here in Florianopolis,” said AABC (Association of Friends of the Cachoeira do Bom Jesus Neighborhood) President Ivanildo Franzosi, the promoter of the project.

According to Louise Waltrick, owner of Antonio’s restaurant, one of Via’s members, the initiative helps bring in old customers to experience the place, in addition to attracting those who don’t yet know the region, and reaffirms the alliance between the establishments. .

“Because ultimately it is about us uniting, seeing that we are partners, not competitors, and that we can grow together and attract more and more people to our region,” he stressed.

Antônio’s Restaurant, located on Cachoeira do Bom Jesus Beach, is participating in the festival with Camarões a Primavera, which features panko flour-coated shrimp accompanied by spring zucchini risotto, broccoli and shrimp garnished with stewed potatoes.
