About Chef Filipe Silva

My cooking is rooted in Portuguese and Mediterranean flavours, combining local ingredients, seasonality and modern techniques.

With 20 years of experience, my career has taken me through five-star hotels, luxury cruise ships and Michelin-starred kitchens, shaping a style that is refined while remaining warm and approachable.

Today, I create private dining experiences across the Algarve and Lisbon, from relaxed family-style dinners and Portuguese BBQs to bespoke fine dining experiences for special occasions.

I particularly enjoy working with fresh fish and seafood, premium meats and seasonal produce, bringing traditional Portuguese flavours into a more contemporary style of cooking and presentation.

For me, private dining is not only about the food. It is about understanding the guests, the occasion and the setting, and creating a memorable experience around the table.
