Tuesday, September 10, 2024 Chef Pedro Pena Bastos is set to host an extraordinary series of four-hands dinners at the Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon throughout October, welcoming renowned Chefs Christian Le Squer, Dani García, Benoît Sinthon, and Vasco Coelho Santos. CURA’s fourth anniversary marks a celebration of culinary artistry, where each chef will showcase signature dishes that evoke deep emotions, honoring their roots and traditions through a 10-moment tasting menu. Reflecting on the last four years, Chef Pedro Pena Bastos remarks: “As CURA marks its fourth anniversary, I am filled with pride and gratitude.
CURA was created to craft meaningful culinary experiences, blending Portuguese tradition with innovation. Our journey would not be possible without our incredible team. In the kitchen, creativity and precision transform ingredients into art, while our front-of-house team ensures every guest feels truly welcome.
I am deeply grateful to our dedicated team, our partners, and our guests who inspire us daily. Here’s to many more years of innovation, excellence, and shared moments at CURA. Obrigado , and see you at the table!” About being invited to celebrate CURA’s fourth anniversary Chef Le Squer says: “As Executive Chef at Le Cinq at Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris, which has sustained its three Michelin stars since 2016, it is always a source of pride to collaborate with other Four Seasons properties in Europe and around the world.
Sharing two nights of exclusive four-hands dinners at Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon with Chef Pena Bastos is the perfect opportunity to offer our guests a unique gastronomic experience, combining original and new flavours from both Portugal and France.” Having already cooked together at Duetos in Funchal, Chef Benoît Sinthon comments: “What a great pleasure for me to be able to share gastronomic moments with Pedro and his team, as our influences, our passion, and our friendship are the ingredients for a memorable dinner at CURA.” “I’ve known and admired Pedro’s work for many years and I’m very happy to have the opportunity to cook alongside him and his team in this project.
Every time we get together in the kitchen it’s a great personal and professional experience and I’m looking forward to this challenge and of cooking with someone I admire,” adds Chef Vasco Coelho Santos. “I am very excited about this collaboration as Four Seasons feels like home, and the opportunity to experience a new restaurant and a talented chef in Lisbon is something tremendously special for me, as it was the place where I was awarded with the third Michelin star. Therefore, I believe that everything put together is like a wonderful cocktail, an absolutely brilliant thing!” exclaims Chef Dani García.
