Through the Eyes of a Chef: Rui Silvestre

Chef Rui Silvestre leads the kitchen at Fifty Seconds , the two-Michelin-star restaurant perched 120 metres above Lisbon at the top of the Vasco da Gama Tower. Born in Valongo and raised in the Algarve from the age of ten, Silvestre became one of the youngest Portuguese chefs to win a Michelin star and went on to lead the kitchen at Vistas by Rui Silvestre, in the Algarve, before taking the helm at Fifty Seconds in 2024.
