Chef Joao’s Philosophy
At our restaurant, the legacy of ancient vines meets the innovation of contemporary cuisine, creating an experience that’s as authentic as it is unforgettable. Here, the spirit of the Alentejo comes alive through vibrant flavors, artistic expression, and the beauty of nature.
Chef João Mourato reimagines the region’s traditional dishes with a modern twist, using fresh, local ingredients to craft meals that are as heartfelt as they are delicious. Each plate is thoughtfully paired with our Quinta do Quetzal wines, elevating every bite into a journey of taste and discovery.
As you dine, let the surrounding art ignite your imagination: a celebration of creativity and passion that mirrors our approach to food and wine. After your meal, take a leisurely stroll through our vineyards. Feel the calm embrace of nature, soak in the Alentejo’s golden light, and carry the essence of this special place with you.
