The daughter of restaurant and hotel owners, Lourdes Bottura even thought about following in the footsteps of her family, but what she really liked was "cooking at home", as she herself said. She took some cooking courses at the
Wilma Kövesi School , a reference in the gastronomic studies, and even taught at the institution itself, in addition to consulting for some restaurants, but, in 2001, the idea of having his own establishment came up – and thus
Badebec was born.
The salads and
carpaccios made the establishment a real success and continue to be the house specialty. Fruits such as mango, melon and pineapple starred in the recipes and brought a pleasant freshness to the customers. "We started to
introduce sophisticated dishes, but in a very simple , offering healthy cuisine, carefully prepared and that surprises the customer", explains Lourdes. The chef says she is always on the lookout for new things and invests in research to innovate her dishes and bring new and tasty experiences to her customers. In fact, on her travels she always tries to discover
new flavors to bring ideas to Badebec.
Healthy eating
Even before it became "trendy", Badebec had been using
organic vegetables as part of its tasty dishes – and it's not wrong to say that this was one of the fundamental factors in making the restaurant's salads so successful. On the buffet table you can find salads, quiches, risottos, pasta and meats, some of which are organic and always fresh and well seasoned. Yellow beets and pink radishes, yellow zucchini, yellow, black or white carrots. Have you ever come across these vegetables in these colors? It almost seems like something from another world! This is the kind of ingredient that can be found on the menu that Badebec serves its customers, with harmonious flavors and surprising textures to please the most diverse palates.
The missing spice for CASACOR
In 2002, Badebec and CASACOR began their partnership . It was the 16th edition of the São Paulo show, which at the time was held in the complex of the
former Sampaio Viana Unit - Febem located in the Pacaembu neighborhood. The space was completely transformed that year to host the most beautiful projects and the best gastronomy. The first restaurant project at CASACOR was designed by none other than
Sig Bergamin , and it was a huge success. "We had
a waiting list every day," recalls Lourdes. "Badebec completes CASACOR's mix because it has excellent food." which is a
buffet , with
quick service so that the public can make the most of their visit, and also has tasty dishes in a cheerful, fun environment, where people can get together. It's always a great joy", he adds. For Lourdes, participating in CASACOR is always a pleasurable challenge because, just as the show offers new gastronomic experiences,
Badebec renews itself every year to bring unusual flavors and new sensations to visitors.
Sustainability

Sustainability is a priority for both CASACOR's exhibitions and Badebec's production – and this is, in fact, one of the reasons why this successful partnership is already close to completing 20 years of great history. Lourdes says that her employees were all trained by a specialist to make the
best possible use of each food item , even the parts that are usually discarded guarantee more flavor to the dishes and demonstrate immense care and respect for the ingredients. Waste is also an important issue for Badebec. "From weighing and separating the waste to disposal, we take great care to ensure that it is done in the best possible way."

The project that received Badebec this year was signed by architect Gustavo Paschoalim and landscaper Frederico Cançado, and was named "
Tropical Restaurant ". The synergy between the architects' proposal and Badebec's history could not be greater.
The project brings together elements that combine nature and a calming atmosphere. A striking palette combines gold and green, which references landscaping and pays homage to Brazilian design from the 1960s and 1970s. "Our idea was to bring the green inside and provide the appreciation of nature at all times", says Gustavo.
