Our Story
Welcome to Tangerine
The Cor de Tangerina project, born in 2006, is more than a restaurant; it defines itself as a space for learning and transformation that cultivates a deep respect for nature and people. Through natural and wholesome food, prepared with ingredients from local producers and organic farming, its team seeks to nourish the body, mind, and spirit, breaking with the acceleration of modern life. Each moment at the table is seen as a unique sensory and educational experience, where the kitchen is a laboratory of alchemy and the service is personalized, with the ultimate goal of creating a harmonious connection between the land, the table, and the community, celebrating the simplicity and richness of a conscious life.

Winners of the 7 Wonders of New Gastronomy
Cor de Tangerina was surprised this year with a nomination for the 7 Wonders of New Gastronomy in two categories: Vegetarian and Vegan.
From this great challenge, we emerged as the big winners in the vegan category with our Potato, Chanterelle and Acorn Mille-Feuille dish. A dish that values our gastronomic heritage and food sovereignty.

About Us
The Leaders Behind the Philosophy
Meet the mentors behind the Cor de Tangerina experience, Chefs Álvaro Dinis Mendes and Liliana Duarte. Since 2006, this duo has passionately led a project that goes far beyond a simple restaurant, transforming it into a space of transformation through food. Their vision stems from a deep respect for nature and people, materializing in dishes that are true sensory journeys, created to nourish the body, mind, and spirit.
Under their guidance, each meal is a unique opportunity to slow down and reconnect with what is essential. Working exclusively with local producers and organic ingredients, they recreate memories at the table and invite you to an authentic, harmonious revolution of being. This is not just a meal; it’s a gastronomic immersion that celebrates simplicity and flavor. Reserve your place and allow yourself to embark on this journey that will redefine how you see and feel food.
