The restaurant with beds on top, Mama Shelter, is going to innovate once again, this time with a special St. Martin’s Day brunch dedicated to the saint.
The event will take place on Sunday, November 17th, between 12pm and 4pm. Chestnuts and Jeropiga are two of the ingredients that won’t be missing.
A menu that warms you up in this cold November
As we can’t always have the long-awaited summer of São Martinho (because the cold has already set in), November is synonymous with warmer blankets and coats.
This year, St. Martin’s Day doesn’t fall on a weekend, but that doesn’t mean you can celebrate it a week later at a special brunch to celebrate the saint... with lots of chestnuts and jeropiga, of course!
The buffet for this São Martinho brunch, prepared by the talented team of Chef José Luís Miranda, offers comforting roasted sweet potatoes with chestnuts, rocket salad with figs and walnuts, sea bass au gratin and even farinheira stuffed with pork tenderloins and pumpkin puree with sweet potatoes.
As for desserts, there will be rice pudding, chocolate mousse with jeropiga, almond cake, apple cake, baklava and dark chocolate truffles with orange, sweets that will fill Mama Shelter’s table with authentic flavors.
The offer also includes a station of regional cheeses and sausages, varied salads, vegan options, as well as a wide range of typical breads and sweets.
At the entrance to the restaurant, there’s a typical chestnut roaster to delight everyone present, whether they’re entering or leaving the brunch. To accompany the chestnuts, Jeropiga is served in a chocolate cup.
All this to savor while the unmistakable aroma of roasted chest nuts wafts through the air, making the atmosphere at Mama Shelter even more welcoming.
The São Martinho brunch will be served between 12pm and 4pm and costs €40 per adult and €15 per child, aged 4 to 12.
