Off late, La Tomatino Festival (held on the last Wednesday of August) has gained a lot of popularity /publicity in the public eye

. Therefore we wanted to showcase something on similar lines. But unlike the La Tomatino that happens in Spain, the La Tomatina Festival @ Marriott Resort & Spa has a tomato fight but in terms of flavours! All the items put up on buffet consist of their main ingredient as Tomato. All the food like Chinese, fast food, Thai food, Spanish food, Italian, Mexican on the spread has been cooked al estilo Espaol (In Spanish Fashion).

Tomato tale: All the Tomatoes being used are of different variety than the once used on general basis in India. The different varieties of tomatoes include Spanish Tomatoes, Roma Tomatoes and Vine Ripened Tomatoes. That ensures that no two preparations will have the same texture or taste to it.

Spain visits Goa : It will be a mix of cuisine as they cater to all kind of clientle. To ensure they meet with every guest requirement they have Indian, few items of Chinese, Sea food and a separate buffet for Spanish. It includes soup, Main course, live station and desserts.

The must-have items from the buffet are Quesadillas, Paella and Churros with chefs special pass around which comes in 3-4 in the dinner seating. There is no special drinks menu for the Festival, though as a part of the Buffet, Virgin Mary Shot are being served. The few special desserts for the food festival include Crema Catalana, Pastel de Chocolate, Peras al vino dulce, Tarta de almendras.

While you are enjoying the food you will see a tweaked decor which includes hanging pans that will give you a feel of working kitchen, tomatoes all across the shelves with different style and types of olive oil making the restaurant look perfect for the festival.
