The Chef Ricardo Gonçalves
It was in the Air Force, amidst rigorous discipline and the rhythm of days marked by time, that respect for food and the right gesture was born. This comes as it functions as a transformer in the vocals, and the vocals are trained professionally, after a while, growing and, throughout the years, they come out in a culinary world.
He worked in hotels that gave him technique, precision, and character, places where detail is key and mistakes are learned. Later, at the Avillez Group, the cuisine gained its own identity. Executive Chief or
Café Lisboa is a great example of the equipment you need – it reflects the history, intent, and memory. Later came other restaurants, new responsibilities, and the closing of a cycle as supervisor of Grupo Capricciosa.
But there was an ancient calling.
The Alentejo. The land. The roots.
He moved there out of love for Alentejo cuisine and the origins that never left him. A cuisine made of time, silence, and truth. Today, in every dish he prepares, he carries with him everything he has experienced: refined technique, respect for the product, and restrained emotion. He cooks like someone telling stories, because he believes that food is memory served at the table.
