Mark our words: You’re going to love Chef Suzy Silvestre, whose family is from the Portuguese Terceira Island in the Azores, bringing a rocking plant-based dinner to Frame with an authentic drink pairing we can definitely get behind.
Plan your weekend wisely, as Frame’s Sean Crenny and Jazmin Weaver have a lively selection of minimal intervention wines and the ultimate Portuguese cocktail list, so we can all get in the spirit and drink like locals.
Sundays are simply one of Frame’s most treasured food days of the week. It’s a day traditionally dedicated to rest and connection — which for us means a nutrient-dense, culturally rich feast that brings us together.
Suzy brings her fan-favorite vegan lens to an authentic Portuguese menu served thoughtfully and with the utmost care.
We will see you around the Frame table.
Felicidades!
