Hello!

I’m Adelaide.

The heart behind Anfitriã. Born in the vibrant city of Lisbon in the 70s, I’m a proud mother to Alice and Teresa, and someone who finds immense joy in the art of cooking. Naturally curious and deeply energized by change and discovery, I’ve always been drawn to the transformative power of food.
This passion led me to immerse myself in the world of natural cuisine, completing an extensive course in macrobiotic cooking and philosophy—a journey that deepened my love for simple, wholesome, and delicious ways to nourish both body and soul.
Inspired by the richness and authenticity of Portuguese gastronomy, I created Anfitriã to share the best of our culinary heritage with visitors to Portugal. My goal is to reimagine our traditional dishes with plant-based ingredients, providing not only a taste of Portugal but also a sense of home. I want every guest to feel embraced by a warm, relaxed atmosphere and leave with recipes and memories to share with their loved ones, carrying a piece of Portugal’s heart with them.
