Executive Chef Carlos Abreu
They say the eternal companion of the Portuguese is the Atlantic Ocean, but more so if a Portuguese is born in a village facing the sea. Carlos Abreu grew up in the former fishing village of Ericeira, where the waves break so strong and where seafood remains king.
From very young he went to Lisbon to work as a chef in the house of fado in Barrio Alto, in the restaurant Faia, where he cooked for nearly a decade for lovers of fado, traditional Portuguese music known for its melancholic and nostalgic notes. The fado brings a connection closer to the sea.With an adventurous spirit at heart, Miami gave Chef Carlos the opportunity to experience another culture and create his new beginning.
