Ofício

A beautiful trendy restaurant with fresh and unique Portuguese wine but mainly - with incredible dishes!While on a food trip it happens that we stumble upon great new discoveries, so this is what happened on our latest WBPtrip in Lisbon! Inês Matos Andrade is one of the most friendly food experts in Lisbon and she kept on insisting we visit this new place called ‘Oficio’, and wow! She was totally right!Oficio is a beautiful restaurant in the very heart of Lisbon! After several adventures in Europe’s leading restaurants, it was time for chef Hugo Candeias to head back to Lisbon to install his own style into its culinary landscape! Oficio would be his home base…A beautiful trendy restaurant with fresh and unique Portuguese wine but mainly with incredible dishes!Dehydrated pork skin and sea vegetable taco took the term ´starters’ to another level followed by some intense and unique creations!A ´veal and marrow tartare ´ rocked our senses, ´pork pillows in sea lettuce ´ had a very good symbiosis, ´pees with black pudding ´ is always a good combination and ´leek with roasted tomato and pumpkin seeds’ was served with perfection!The best dish was ‘cuttlefish in cuttlefish with cuttlefish ink’ a creation that brought me back to the shores of Lake Garda at Lido84! Perfection!Freshly ´fire-cooked skate with herbs’ and ‘old-fashioned oven rice with meats’ rounded off the mains! A terrific cheesecake with salt (why do we never add salt???) concluded this epic lunch!This chef has tons of talent!! A must do visit!
