On the Road: Forgotten Forest, Adjuntas
On the Road: Forgotten Forest, Adjuntas
Puerto Rico is an island full of fantastic food and gorgeous places. Each corner has its character and uniqueness and presents specialized locally produced ingredients. The Pretexto Food Experience presents the On the Road Dinner Series, our proposal to take food lovers to these amazing corners and have unique food experiences carefully curated by El Pretexto’s team. This time, we are collaborating with Michellin-star winner Chef Jonathan Meléndez from Casa Mono, NYC, and fly him monthly to play with the local ingredients in a different setting each time. Every date and place will be completely different from one another, and that includes ingredients and menu.
Join us for an unforgettable Sunday, October 29, at 11:30 a.m. at the beautiful Hacienda of Forgotten Forest in Tanamá, Adjuntas. We will begin with a tour of the coffee and cacao farm by the owner Domenico Celli. Forgotten Forest Coffee recently received 92 points on Coffee Review, the highest score for any Puerto Rican coffee ever on the platform. Then we will enjoy a delicious Espresso Martini courtesy of Worldclass by Méndez & Co., followed by an amazing five-course lunch presented by Chef Jonathan Meléndez with a wine pairing by Sommelier Giacomo Galati from Méndez & Co., and finishing with dessert and a coffee and chocolate tasting. The farm vibes are unbelievable, cozy, and intimate as this event will be smaller in size, and the wood house, breeze, and views are spectacular. We should finish around 4:30 p.m., so you have time to return home in daylight safely! Reserve your space today and join us for a Michelin-star-level deep countryside experience!
