Meet Fatima

Fatima worked as a manger in the hotel industry for over 30 years. Later she opened her own restaurant. She has always been passionate about cuisine and culture and learned to cook the family recipes from a young age, which has been passed down from generation to generation. Later Fatima also did a professional cooking course to learn new skills and techniques, but always goes back to remembering how her mother did it! She is excited to introduce travelers to Portuguese cuisine, dessert and wine.
