Because gastronomy is an art in its own right, the Imaginarius festival has once again challenged local restaurants to a crossroads of flavours, privileging menus based on endogenous and seasonal products, and revealing creativity in their preparation and plating. Adega Monh\u00e9, Lago, Taberna do Xisto and Terra M\u00e3e are the four official \u201cSabores Imaginarius\u201d restaurants which, between 9 and 12 September, will be the ambassadors of creative, urban and signature gastronomy designed specifically for the festival.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The official “Sabores Imaginarius” restaurants fulfilled the criteria defined by the management and presented creative proposals, investing on local and seasonal products to create differentiating menus. Examples include Feira Foga\u00e7a and\u00a0 Sweet Regueifa, cheeses and honey, blueberries, raspberries and Malapia, artisan beer with Feira hops and Ch\u00e2moa liqueur, fresh vegetables and shitake mushrooms, as well as regional products, like fish from the coast and meat from the hills.<\/p>\n

The history, culture and identity of Santa Maria da Feira are also present in the selected proposals, namely the influence of the Loios friars on the local cuisine and the mixed cultures of Feira’s diaspora.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the essence of Imaginarius as a \u201cstage of experiences\u201d, the chefs of the four official restaurants present creative dishes, rich in flavour, offering a surprising sensory journey during the four days of the festival. The menus are available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSabores Imaginarius\u201d is part of the municipal strategy of tourist and gastronomic promotion \u201cEncruzilhada de Sabores\u201d, favouring endogenous and seasonal products, and promoting the differentiation and creativity of the proposals of chefs and restaurants in the region.<\/p>\n

The festival’s gastronomic area is also committed to promoting Craft Beer with Feira Hops \u2013 special edition 20 years | 20 Imaginarius editions \u2013 available at the Interactive Tourism Store and the local restaurants, and supports the \u201cAlmoce e Jante Connosco\u201d initiative, promoted by ADRITEM \u2013 Integrated Regional Development Association of Terras de Santa Maria, in the village of Porto Carvoeiro, in Canedo.<\/p>\n

It is in this certified Portuguese Village that, on 4 September, at 7 pm,\u00a0 visitors can enjoy the authenticity of a meal made with local products, the basis of the region’s traditional cuisine, shared within a village family. The hosts open the doors of their house to tourists who will sit at the table with them and have the opportunity to discover the legends, stories and life of the village, in a traditional meal.
