Inspired by the world-famous Brazilian culinary tradition, our food offerings combine French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese elements along with Brazilian spices and flavors to create unique meals. Extensive research is done for each event, and clients are invited to offer suggestions and discuss the organization of the event. Our goals are to make each meal an amazing experience for host and guests alike and to create a truly exclusive party.

Ana Luiza Godoy, a native of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, opened (along with a business partner) several cafés and small bistros in downtown Rio. In 2000, the partners were joined by the French chef Claude Lapeyre and opened a bistro in the Casa França-Brasil that was rated by Veja Rio magazine as one of the best bistros in Rio in 2002. In 2004 Ana Luiza and her family relocated to the Washington, DC area and soon after she started Fine Gastonomy. Among her clients are many embassies, cultural and military attachés, and other international community individuals and organizations.

Ana Luiza has received many awards and accolades including:

Brazilian Army Certificate of Appreciation in recognition for the relevant work done for the Brazilian Army – April 17 2009, Washington DC. (General of the Army Darke Nunes de Figueiredo)

Fine Gastronomy provided a superb experience for my wedding. They took care of every detail I asked for, and ensured not only that truly gourmet food was served, but also a highly satisfying aesthetic presentation. Their ability to mix different cuisines successfully, in my case French and Brazilian, added to the personal and professional service they are able to offer. I highly recommend Fine Gastronomy.
