Luxury Meets Tradition: Deluxe Classes’ Dining Experience
Passengers flying from Dubai to Brazil in First, Business, and Premium Economy seats will enjoy Picanha, a prized Brazilian specialty. A perfectly grilled beef steak topped with a zesty tomato salsa called molho a campanha. It is accompanied by traditional farofa and a medley of braised black beans, succulent sauteed kale, fluffy steamed rice, tangy sliced oranges, and sweet banana fritters. The dessert is a festive touch – a Brigadeiro cheesecake adorned with vibrant coconut crème anglaise, guava, and passionfruit coulis that captures Carnival’s exuberance.
A Delectable Economy Class Experience
Economy travelers can delight in Bife com cebola, a classic Brazilian beef dish with onions. It is paired with energy-rich farofa, creamy black beans, kale, steamed rice, and piquillo peppers. The meal concludes with a colorful Brigadeiro cheesecake and chocolate ganache sprinkled with cheerful Carnival colors.
