Right now, I have several restaurants in Lisbon (Belcanto, Beco, Bairro do Avillez, Mini Bar, Cantinho do Avillez, Café Lisboa, and Pizzaria Lisboa, all in Chiado), and one in Oporto (Cantinho do Avillez). Each shows a side of my personality, though Belcanto is the mirror of my creative evolution. Are you planning new openings in the future? I’m always thinking about new projects. For me, new ideas generate energy and drive me to go beyond the normal boundaries of possibility. As to other projects, we’ll see what the future holds. Stay tuned. 190
