The best of gastronomy at CASACOR Rio

In its seventh participation in CASACOR Rio , Cooking Buffet had a different challenge this year: managing three food outlets. At the head of the restaurant, the tea bar and the emporium – a novelty brought by the new times – the success has been absolute. "It's been a delight to be able to welcome people. I think everyone is very sensitive about this difficult time and people want to be welcomed , to feel welcomed and safe . And I think they have managed to find that here" says Adriana Mattar , who has run Cooking Buffet for 22 years alongside partner Ana Cecília Gros . Following all strict health rules , the three houses offer different options for different times of the day. Lunch and dinner are served at the Casa Bistrô restaurant, from Tuesday to Saturday, as well as brunch on Sunday mornings. On the menu, dishes that have become classics at parties served by Cooking and also at CASACOR Rio itself. The favorite of the time is the Salmon Crudo, but there is also Duck Rice (always a success), Chicken with citrus and black rice risotto – as well as sweets, those that you can eat while praying, such as the crunchy chocolate Fondant and the pavlova of Sicilian lemon. Decorated by architect Maurício Nóbrega, the restaurant occupies the house's old garage and has a large open area in the middle of the residence's spacious gardens , which creates the perfect atmosphere for those who just want to have a drink there. And there are several options created by Rodolfo Werner for that moment of post-visit relaxation . At Empório Cooking to Go , the order is a little different, as there is no service . But there is no shortage of good and varied options as the space offers snacks and lighter foods such as sweet potato and paprika crispies and quiches (with flavors that vary from one day to the next), as well as ready-made dishes served in biodegradable packaging that they can be taken home or consumed there, in the friendly environment created by architect Tiago Freire , who prioritizes social distancing with small tables delimited by little houses without walls. At Chá Bar , which was set by Roberta Nicolau , snacks, small sandwiches and, of course, drinks are served. Moncloa's selection of teas can be consumed there or purchased in store and taken home . A tip? The mix of red fruits , created especially for the Rio exhibition.

The four food points at this CASACOR Rio were set up in the garden of the Brando Barbosa Residence , with large outdoor areas, and configurations that favor social distancing . In addition, they follow the new rules for food points, such as menus displayed via QR Code , availability of alcohol gel and cleaning constant of tables, chairs and counters. CASACOR Rio is open until May 30th and is attended by 57 professionals , including architects, interior designers and landscapers. There are 38 spaces set up at the Brando Barbosa Residence. For the first time, the exhibition is hybrid , with an in-person version and a digital version, with videos and 3D tours available right here on the website!
