Michelin Star Restaurants in Portugal 2014
Spain and Portugal are different countries, have different languages and although neighbors on the Iberian Peninsula are on different time zones. But, it is not only this that differs between the two countries. Food and wine is taken very seriously in both Spain and Portugal, yet Michelin stars, while abundant in Spain, are scattered far-and-wide in Portugal, from Porto to the Algarve, and from Madeira to Alentejo.
The 2014 Michelin Guide to Spain & Portugal was presented last November and with few surprises for Spain’s neighbor. Portugal received just 2 NEW Michelin stars for 2 NEW Michelin 1 star restaurants, bringing the grand total to 14 Michelin Stars throughout the whole country.
For 2014, the two restaurants in the Algarve – Ocean and Vila Joya, retain their 2 Michelin Star Restaurant status and 8 Michelin 1 star restaurants retain their one star status.
New to the list for 2014 is Chef Miguel Laffan, who receives 1 Michelin star at L’And Vineyards in Alentejo. And, after an absence of 3 years, Joachim Koerper regains 1 Michelin star, at Eleven in Lisbon. (Full list of Portuguese Michelin Star Restaurants below)
In comparison, Spain receives 23 NEW Michelin Stars for 2014 including 1 NEW Michelin 3 star and 2 NEW Michelin 2 star restaurants.
