🍽️ Our Dining Experience
During our lunch visit, we started with Miso Soup and Brazilian Fried Chicken, followed by the beautifully presented Chef’s Selection Sashimi.
For the main course, we enjoyed Chicken Galhado and the Chef’s Steak A5 Wagyu Picanha. If you’re visiting Uma Nota, don’t miss the A5 Wagyu Picanha it is rich, tender, incredibly flavorful, and practically melts in your mouth.
For the perfect side, the Uma Nota Salad added a fresh and refreshing balance to the richer dishes.
To make the celebration even more special, we were also surprised with a complimentary cake for the celebrant a thoughtful touch that made our lunch even more memorable. 🎂
