Travelling the oceans together

We share a passion to discover and learn from our journey into different aspects of our gastronomic history, looking at them with a new perspective.

Hans Neuner
Executive Chef

Originally from Austria, Hans Neuner arrived in the Algarve in 2007 searching for a new inspiration. The incredible story of Portuguese cuisine provided him with a new gastronomic passion, immersing himself in a time travel in faraway places.

The flavours and ingredients he found here led him on a journey throughout the different regions of Portugal’s age of discovery, experiencing the eclectic and diverse influences that make up a vibrant food heritage.

By looking at these travels with a fresh perspective, Hans captures the essence of each journey into a menu that guides guests into an engaging tour of history, earning the restaurant its first Michelin star in 2009 and its second only two years later in 2011.
