Com mais de 10 anos de experiencia como Chef de cozinha e Chef Executivo em Hotéis de 5 Estrelas, em Portugal e no Estrangeiro, absorvi varias técnicas e temperos desde o Oriente ás Caraíbas, passando pela Gastronomia Mediterrânica, tenho como Segredo a frescura dos ingredientes ( pequenos produtores e no Mercado de setúbal) e dar o devido tempo aos cozinhados como as nossas Avós.

With more than 10 years of experience as a Chef and Executive Chef in 5 Star Hotels, in Portugal and around the World, I have absorbed various techniques and seasonings from the East to the Caribbean, through Mediterranean Gastronomy, my secret is the freshness of the ingredients ( small producers and in the Setúbal Market) and give due time to the cooks like our Grandmothers.

Chef Álvaro was wonderful to work with. We received several responses from other chefs but he was the only one who responded thoughtfully to our request and referenced our specific preferences when sent his proposal. He was very flexible and responsive. My family and I would highly recommend him!
