The prices of the dishes vary between R$20 and R$50, but don't get too excited if you find the prices of some foods cheap: the dishes weigh around 100 to 120g each, so be prepared to try more than one depending on of your hunger. The idea of the festival, in fact, is exactly this: offering smaller dishes for visitors to try different options.

- Kitchen Talk by Electrolux – this experience is a class in which apprentices get their hands dirty. In addition to learning how to make delicious dishes with renowned chefs, there is also a tasting afterwards.
