About
The regional and typical flavors of Rio Grande do Norte receive the touch of chef Joca Pontes, formed by the School of French Cuisine, in an environment inspired by the indigenous culture. The Yuru restaurant, located at Golden Tulip Natal Ponta Negra Hotel, promises to stay in the taste buds of tourists and locals of Natal. Among the main elements of brazilian northeastern cuisine are rennet cheese, bottle butter, cashews, chestnuts, string beans, and strong seasonings such as coriander and cumin. "I made the menu of Yuru thinking of harmonizing culinary techniques with the products of Rio Grande do Norte. Products that reveal our riches, our culture, set in the brazilian northeast but echoing to the world, "explains the chef. In addition to the Yuru restaurant, Pontes commands three other establishments (Ponte Nova, Villa Cozinha Bistr and Bercy Village), all situated in Recife. It was recognized by Veja magazine as the best contemporary cuisine of the year 2012 and 2014, restaurant of the year 2012 by the magazine Prazeres da Mesa, one of the 10 gastronomic promises of Brazil, according to the November 2008 edition of Menu magazine, and is among The 50 best restaurants in Brazil by Guia Quatro Rodas,
