Natural do Porto e apaixonado por música e por fotografia, cedo percebeu que o seu futuro passaria pela cozinha. Depois de passagens pelo mítico Cafeína no Porto, Belcanto e Feitoria em Lisboa, o Ledbury em Londres e o Geranium em Copenhaga, foi no Grémio Literário que teve a sua primeira experiência a liderar uma cozinha. Aos 24 anos, foi convidado para chefiar o restaurante da Herdade do Esporão, no Alentejo, onde o seu trabalho começou a catapultá-lo para a ribalta.
During his time at Ceia, he was recognized with the '50 Best Discovery' seal from 'The World’s 50 Best Restaurants' academy.
In 2020, he was invited by the Ritz Lisbon to open Cura, and just over a year later, he earned a Michelin star. To the praise from critics and customers, he added other distinctions, such as the two 'knives' at 'The Best Chef Awards', recognizing him as a 'chef on the global rise'.
Now, at Broto, he aims to continue developing his passion for a cuisine based on seasonal products from small local producers.
Married and a father, he is a beloved figure to the Portuguese people thanks to the television contest MasterChef Portugal.
