The chefs behind Basil Algarve

Raphael & Inês

We’re Raphael and Inês, the chefs behind Basil Algarve. We were already a team when we started working in the same restaurant.

While we were working there, we started cooking small dinners in people’s homes. We loved getting to know the people we were cooking for and planning a meal around what they liked to eat. Some of those first guests told their friends about us, and that’s how Basil Algarve began.

Today, we’re based in Lagos and cook across the Algarve. Every kitchen is a little different, but our favourite part is still cooking side by side.
