The Team
Pedro Pena Bastos
Chef of CURA RestaurantIn his open kitchen, the Chef is intent upon bringing “more joy and soul” to CURA’s offerings than are typical of fine-dining fare. He works with small local suppliers to source ingredients of superb flavour and condition, and he plucks others such as crunchy reindeer moss, marbled meat from Alentejo Iberian pigs, and “the best chickpeas we can find” directly from the wild. His menu highlights a dozen or so dishes at a time, changing with the seasons, and he tries to work with just two or three ingredients “and one really sharp knife” at a time, the better to ensure that guests taste the food as it is meant to taste.
“We carefully consider everything to keep the spotlight on the food. That’s our inspiration – the highlight of everything we do.”
Diogo Lopes
Executive Pastry ChefExecutive Pastry Chef at Varanda restaurant and at the Hotel, Lopes traces his interest in the pastry arts to his childhood in Portugal. A “chubby kid” with a big appetite, he watched his mother and grandmother in the kitchen and began making simple dishes of his own. “I thought, ‘I like to eat so much, maybe I should cook.’ A lot of kids would say things like that, but I meant it.” His dream came true, and today his Chocolate Arlette with Spices dessert is the perfect finale to a fine dining dinner at Varanda.
“We really value the one-on-one moments we get with guests. People like having a connection with the kitchen, and it’s always good to remind us who we’re working for.”
