'Fine Dining' weekends are back

Foto cap de setmana gastronomicsThis Friday April 29 marks the return of the initiative that put fine dining in Formentera on the map, Caps de Setmana Gastronòmics (Weekend Fine Dining in English). Spanning two weekends, April 29-May 1 and May 6-8, the programme has a select handful of Formentera restaurants proposing gastronomic set-price specials for 20 euros (drinks not included). “The dishes have been designed especially for the occasion and are reinterpretations of traditional recipes. Many of our participating restaurants have put a very creative spin some well-known flavours, and all of them have agreed to adhere to an affordable flat rate,” said Alejandra Ferrer, CiF councillor of tourism. The initiative is part of the Council's Discover Formentera in May campaign (Descobreix Formentera al Maig), which the councillor called “a way to offer added bonuses to tourists who visit in the off-season.”
