AL-LUSITANO BY CHAKALL
As a Luso-Argentinian, Chef Chakall has travelled through Portugal for many years – preparing cooking TV shows and participating in various events and regional showcookings – and in the process acquired a deep knowledge of Portuguese cuisine, from the mountains to the sea, all the way to the islands in the Atlantic.
Our gastronomic approach in an event of this nature aims to demonstrate the geography of our country’s flavors, the quality and authenticity of the endogenous products we so gladly share with the world. The result is a celebration of Portugal’s most typical and iconic dishes, where tradition meets the finest ingredients to reveal the true flavor, character and authenticity of Portuguese cuisine.
Refined by the most diverse cooking techniques and Chef Chakall’s characteristic creativity, our dishes will certainly appeal to the vast and varied audience of Expo 2020 Dubai.
We are proud of what we do and would like Portugal to be remembered, among other things, for its diverse and delicious gastronomy.
