Spanish term or phrase: hoy te sugerimos

Esta frase aparece al principio de varias cartas de un restaurante.

¿Cómo se podría traducir?

Gracias!

[Today,] may we recommend/Chef's recommendations

Explanation:
La carta es virtual (no en papel) entonces se puede modificar al diario con los pescados y mariscos que se ofrezcan de temporada.

Dado el contexto de la carta, son platos que son especialidades de la casa, mariscos de temporada, entonces sería "la casa recomienda..." más bien que solamente "today's specials".

En inglés, "May we recommend" cubre "Today's specials" [productos de temporada] igual que "la casa recomienda" [Chef's recommendations/The chef recommends].

"Chef's recommendations" pegaría también

Given the extra information, provided by Sonia Maria in the Discussion, I have gone off "Today's specials" as an ideal answer. If these are embodied in the usual list of dishes on the menu, they are not ‘special’. What might be the case is that the restaurant wishes to encourage diners to eat up excess stock of an item before it goes off, or maybe has some, e.g. fish that they were able to buy at an extremely advantageous one off price…… There are lots of possible reasons for recommending a dish. All of which makes me think that “TODAYS’S SUGGESTIONS” is not such a shot in the dark!!!

our signature dishes

Explanation:
Sonia Maria has provided vital extra context.

Firstly this is a chain or group of restaurants, not a single outlet.

Here is the context:

"Esta frase aparece al principio de la carta y hace referencia a varios productos que después se pueden localizar también a lo largo del menú. Los productos recomendados son fundamentalmente pescados y mariscos (rape, berberechos, almejas, calamares...) en algunos restaurantes ofertan hasta nueve platos en este apartado y en otros solo dos. ***Son productos que definen al restaurante por su calidad y manera de prepararlos***."
