Rita arrived at Atrevo as if returning to a place that has always been hers.
She brings with her an innate appetite, a practical intuition—the kind you don't learn from books—and a constant restlessness in the search for the perfect flavor.
Born in Coimbra, it was there that she took her first steps, but fate soon took her further. Recognized as Young Chef of the Year by the Michelin Guide 2024, she also led the team that earned its first star in 2025. She brings with her absolute respect for the product and a healthy obsession with balance.
Her cuisine combines refined technique and flavors that complement each other harmoniously, guided by a genuine desire to challenge the norm.
The starting point is invariably the same: Portuguese produce, at the height of its time and freshness. She reinterprets tradition without ever distorting it—and invites us to join her on this journey where past and modernity fit together on the same fork.
At Atrevo, you challenge yourself with the same pleasure you've always enjoyed eating. And we, the daring ones, sit at the table to taste what happens when technique meets instinct — and it's flavor that rules.
