• Elena

Elena's special Christmas menu at Horto offers an experience with flavors that go beyond the traditional Christmas dinner. There are two options of entrances: the Wagyu Oshizushi with foie gras, (Shari, masago, wagyu filet mignon, foie gras and tarê); and the Vietnamese ox-eye Carpaccio with sauce nuoc cham, watermelon, cucumber, cilantro and peanut. The main dishes include the low temperature piglet with black garlic and pumpkin, and the green curry of lamb, carrots and Jasmine rice. The chef created desserts that play with the typical Christmas sweets, such as Christmas Cherry, (White chocolate Ganache, cherry jam, almond crunch and cherry sorbet), and the Creamy French toast, made with milk candy, vanilla cream and white chocolate.
