Haute Cuisine - Algarve

Although Portugal is currently known for its good but simple food, there is definitely an under current of jaw dropping cooking going on, the trick is where to find it!

Truth be told, living in Portugal causes one to become quite spoiled from the incredible quality and selection of choices available. Variations in weather from north to south, the short distance to distribute fresh products and the variety available makes living in Portugal a food lovers dream.

And let’s note forget a fertile wine zone, miles of ocean coast and a host of other natural resources from tropical fruit, seafood, wines, oils, nuts, succulent black pork to and the list goes on…it takes real dedication to keep the waistline in check. It’s no surprise, food aficionados and Michelin stared chefs alike enjoy Portugal as a hidden gem of gastro-nirvana.

This maybe why the 2nd annual Haute Cuisine - Gastronomy Festival is being hosted in the Algarve at Vila Joya. Twelve of the world’s best chefs will be cooking up absolute deliciousness from Jan. 13 to 19. If you think you can handle this kind of pleasure on your pallet than check out this line up.
