Chef Paulo Reffoios

I'm Portuguese, married with three children, and passionate about gastronomy. A hotel manager, gastronome, and chef, I've owned two restaurants in Portugal, one of which was ranked among Time Out's best for three consecutive years. I trained for a year under Chef Alex Atala at DOM in São Paulo, ranked the world's 4th best restaurant in 2012. I love Portuguese cuisine along with our African and South American diaspora influences, as well as Southern European cooking. I'm drawn to both traditional and contemporary cuisine, as long as it's coherent. I strive to respect the ingredients I work with and build menus around local products, wherever I happen to be. I've held professional roles in Portugal, Angola, Brazil, Spain, and Switzerland.
