'... I feel guided through the cuisine of Portugal's capital city. This book not only shares the warmth of Nuno's cooking but also tells the stories behind eating in Lisbon' - Rene Redzepi, Head Chef at Noma, Copenhagen
From internationally renowned chef and restauranteur, Nuno Mendes whose restaurant Lisboeta in London's iconic Charlotte Street was named One to Watch by the National Restaurant Awards, 2022
Bem-vindo a nossa casa: Welcome to our home.
Lisbon is known as Portugal's 'City of Light', its beautiful, tiled buildings and cobbled streets illuminated by the reflections of the nearby waters. It is also one of the great culinary centres of Europe. Nuno Mendes, a Lisboeta (native of Lisbon) and renowned chef-owner of Lisboeta restaurant in London, invites you to experience his favourite places and foods from his home city.
Sharing recipes inspired by the dishes that he loves, Nuno takes you through a typical day in Lisbon. Here you will discover the secrets to the most delicious pasteis de nata, the custard tarts for which Lisbon is so famous, and bolas de Berlim, fluffy doughnuts stuffed with custard. For lunch, sample some typical seafood like squid sizzling in a pan with garlic and coriander, or grilled sardines with a roasted green pepper salad. And as night draws in, Nuno offers his recipes for rich and warming dishes like slow-baked lamb chanfana and roasted orange-rub pork belly with fennel.
These are the heart-warming, vibrant dishes of a city with a modern, bustling food scene that is nevertheless steeped in centuries-old traditions. Nuno's portraits of Lisbon's idiosyncrasies are threaded through the pages: impromptu sardine grills, endless snacking and city-wide street carnivals. With luminous photography shot on location, this book brings to life Portugal's magnificent capital city and its fabulous cuisine.

Nuno Mendes is an internationally renowned Portuguese chef. Born and raised in Lisbon, he worked in America, Japan and Spain before heading up a string of critically acclaimed restaurants in London, including Bacchus and Viajante. In 2009, he set up The Loft Project where he invited up-and-coming chefs from around the world to cook meals for small groups of diners. As former Executive Chef at the Michelin-starred Chiltern Firehouse, Mendes also wrote a weekly recipe column for the Guardian. In 2015, he launched the restaurant Taverna do Mercado in Old Spitalfields Market, which focused on the culinary excellence of his birthplace. As his popularity grew, he then went on to open Lisboeta in London's iconic Charlotte Street as a homage to Lisbon.
