A Memorable Culinary Extravaganza

Que Pasa Restaurant & Winebar, renowned for its exceptional cuisine and warm ambiance, invites you to embark on a culinary extravaganza like no other. On this enchanting evening, the talented chef Michelle at Que Pasa has curated a tantalizing menu that seamlessly pairs each delectable course with a hand-selected Girard wine, elevating your dining experience to new heights.

The journey begins with an amuse-bouche of an Empanada of beef stew, creole gel, and coriander, expertly paired with the vibrant Sauvignon Blanc from Girard Winery. The delicate flavors of the Empanada harmonize beautifully with the crisp and refreshing notes of the Sauvignon Blanc, setting the stage for a truly remarkable dining experience.

For the first appetizer, savor the flavors of ceviche of Mahi Mahi and shrimp, accompanied by Spanish pepper, red onion, and puffed sweet potato. This exquisite dish finds its perfect match in Girard Winery's elegant Chardonnay, which adds depth and complexity to the seafood's delicate flavors.

As the culinary journey continues, delight in the second appetizer—a smoked chicken dish, complemented by flamed corn, bell pepper creme, crispy funchi, and a luscious corn velouté. This course showcases the culinary expertise of the chefs at Que Pasa, and the interplay of flavors is enhanced by Girard Winery's exceptional wines.

Prepare your taste buds for the main course—a grilled sirloin steak served with chimichurri, yuca, mashed potato, and an annatto red wine sauce. The robust flavors of the steak are perfectly complemented by the full-bodied Petit Sirah from Girard Winery, resulting in a harmonious pairing that will leave a lasting impression.

Finally, indulge in a decadent dessert of white chocolate-lime quesillo, chocolate ganache, dulce de leche, and dragon fruit. This exquisite finale is elevated to new heights with the accompaniment of a luscious Sherry from Hidalgo PX Andalucía, Spain, chosen to perfectly balance the dessert's rich and vibrant flavors.
