Located in one of the most historic areas of Porto, or rather, Vila Nova de Gaia is the timeless The Lodge Wine & Business Hotel. With the exclusive touch of Nini Andrade Silva, in every corner of the hotel, the soul of the Douro is clearly visible, as well as the designer’s signature, with its […]
“There is only one Pedro Lemos” could very well be the title of the following text; we can say this about many chefs, but not so much when we look at the national panorama. I had followed Pedro Lemos’ work for many years, largely because of the audacity of having named his first solo restaurant […]
“Amar e Mar” (Love and Sea) is the motto giving the name to one of the restaurants in the renewed city of Leça da Palmeira, open since 2016 by young Matilde Silva, whom after a good experience at Nova Tendinha decided to embrace a bigger and bolder project.
