The kitchen at the Legacy Restaurant is designed by Emanuel Rodriguez, an Argentine chef with 21 years of experience. Born in Buenos Aires, he moved to Brazil when he was three. It was in that country that, at the age of 17, he began his career, entering as a trainee and leaving as chef at Fasano, the most awarded restaurant in South America, where he spent a decade.

With a degree in gastronomy from the HOTEC college in São Paulo, he arrived in Portugal in 2011, where he continued his career as a chef with the José Avillez Group and at the Penha Longa Resort. Emanuel is fascinated by the simplicity of classic cuisine, but likes to give it a touch of originality and modernity.
