Flavors Of The World is back in Casa de Campo! Casa de Campo’s Chef Anthony Masas will be accompanied by an exciting group of Chefs to take us through an incredible gastronomic journey from the 24th to the 26th of June (that’s next week!). This month we will be exploring the flavors of the Dominican Republic – honoring its culinary heritage and traditions.
Just last month, Casa de Campo Resort & Villas treated us to a weekend of fabulous cuisine from Spain, with guest chef Fernando Arellano working alongside Chef Masas. This is all part of the Flavors of the World Summer initiative put forth by Casa de Campo Resort & Villas that gives us the opportunity to try meals prepared by renowned and awarded chefs, and simultaneously explore the traditional flavors that inspire them.
Chef Tita from Travesías restaurant, Giancarlo Bonarelli and Steve Provost from Bottega Fratelli will explore the Dominican cuisine this month along with Chef Masas during a weekend full of events. The six course headlining event prepared by all four chefs will be held at La Casita Restaurant at the Marina Casa de Campo on the evening of June 24th and will feature the chefs’ interpretation of Dominican staples.
On Sunday, The Beach Club by Le Cirque will be hosting a delicious brunch at Minitas Beach after 12pm.

We encourage you to mark your calendars as the July edition is scheduled for the 15-17 of July and we will be enjoying dishes straight from Miami!!!
