Velvet in Chiado

The Velvet Table opened in Lisbon in 2016, in a Chiado house where the light stays low and the service stays quiet. The name belongs to the room: a quiet table, and plates built around a few ingredients, chosen for the season and for the hand that grew them.

Mateo Alves’ cooking joins Portuguese memory with the discipline of a European dining room. Atlantic fish, inland gardens, slow fermentations. Nothing is added unless it serves the flavour.
