restaurant · Baixa · Porto
Chef João Cura starts each menu by calling local farmers to ask what's ready that week - the produce dictates the dishes, not the other way around. A Michelin-recognised restaurant run as a genuinely personal project, with a hidden garden and weekday lunch menus used to test new ideas.
Almeja is a husband-and-wife project. João Cura cooks; Sofia Amaral runs the dining room. The name is a Portuguese verb meaning to desire or to long for deeply - which gives you a sense of how seriously they take this.
