Reference in Afro-Brazilian gastronomy in Rio, Dida Bar and Restaurant has prepared a special experience for Father's Day, this Sunday, August 10, from 12am. The date invites fraternization, taste and listening, rescuing traditions in which the father is provider, counselor, spiritual guardian and reference of family balance. Valuing Father's Day from an afrocentric perspective is to recognize the beauty of orality, collective care and the importance of older people. It is to strengthen the self-esteem of black men, celebrate their stories and offer a space where fatherhood is welcomed with pride, warmth and flavor. Chef Dida recommends the “Kruger”: roasted pork rib, marinated in spices, with spicy guava sauce and rustic potatoes (R$69,00). Finally, the suggestion is the Tortilla de Dendê: open sweet pie with filling of palm for R $ 15.00. In Dida, food carries history, affection, resistance and taste of ancestry.
