From June 6th to 1 1, I attended the Global IT Forum jointly organized by Gartner and Brasscom in Sao Paulo, Brazil and Rio de Janeiro. The organization of the meeting can almost be described as unity, tension, seriousness and vividness that we are familiar with. From the moment we set foot on Brazilian soil to the moment we boarded the plane leaving Rio de Janeiro, the conference organizers arranged all the activities for us. 1* * There are two kinds of activities, one is a meeting to discuss the development prospect of IT industry in Brazil and even the whole world; The other is eating, where participants communicate, argue and tease in a warm and relaxed atmosphere, and gradually establish friends. There is nothing to write at the meeting. It is too serious and tense. Write about food. Very United and lively. Look at the meal we had under the huge fig tree. I've seen fig trees. When I was a child, there was another one in our yard, which produced many figs every year. This fig tree is too big. When the car stopped about 50 meters away from the restaurant, I saw the awning with lights covering the whole street in the dark. According to the restaurant, the fig tree is 130 years old. The trunk is 4.6m thick,14m high and the crown is 45m in diameter. The whole restaurant lobby is under this huge canopy. This restaurant is also called FIGUEIRA, which means fig tree in Portuguese. Look at this restaurant that makes people feel Brazilian.

In Hadoclovo Street in Sao Paulo Garden District, next to this huge fig tree, the lights are getting dimmer and dimmer.

The diameter of the trunk is 4.6 meters.

The dining table went all the way to the trunk. It is said that the location next to these trunks is the most difficult to book, and it is often necessary to book such seats several days in advance.

Most leaves are still separated by glass ceilings. I think it should be. There may be a bird-loving paradise in such a big canopy. However, there are still several huge branches under the roof of the glass shed, which gives people a feeling of safety and hygiene and going under the tree in person.

It can be seen that these laterally extending branches are still supported by wooden columns, which will certainly help to increase the crown. I don't know what this tree can grow naturally.

Pre-meal snacks are all crispy and delicious. I especially like straight pancakes. I forgot to pat the irregular part on the side and ate it eagerly.

The first course is a platter, one for four people, and everyone can eat it together.

The drink served on the table looked refreshing and contained alcohol, so I didn't drink it.

One of the main courses, steak. It looks very attractive.

The second main course, seafood. This is what I want. Completely attracted by the name of seafood, this is spaghetti. If I had to choose between two things, I would definitely choose steak.

There are plenty of desserts after dinner. The first course is for everyone. It's like a thousand layers of cake.

There is also a platter with several styles of desserts to choose from.

What's more exciting is that there is a dessert buffet bar with more than 20 kinds of Brazilian desserts. This is a major feature of Brazilian restaurants. Many restaurants, including those that eat Brazilian barbecue, have vegetable or dessert buffet besides the main course.

The menu specially prepared for this dinner.

When eating in Brazil, there are two real Brazilian foods, and this is one of them, Guarana. This is a drink made from wild plums unique to Amazon. I ordered guarana for every meal in Brazil. You know, when the last World Cup was held in Germany, the designated drink in Brazil was Guarana. This kind of bread with a diameter of only about four centimeters is called cheese bread, which is another real Brazilian specialty food. Almost every restaurant in Brazil serves this staple food at any time. For people who like cheese, this is definitely unforgettable food.

The lounge in the lobby of fig tree restaurant. This restaurant belongs to a catering group named Rubaiyat, which has the largest and best wine cellar in Brazil and won the highest award from Wine Observer magazine. The decoration of this lounge is very atmospheric.
