BLIND MASTER
Vitor Matos
Meet our 5 Michelin-starred Chef (2 stars in Antiqvvm, 1 star in Blind, 1 star in 2Monkeys, and 1 star in Oculto).
"My cuisine would be different had my story been a different one, had there been different memories and experiences in my past.
My first steps in the culinary world, were to literally follow my mother around in the kitchen, especially, when I came home from school and observed the bustling dinner preparations. It was a sort of experimental and not always successful cuisine, where I gathered the ingredients together and mixed them all up, without following any particular rules.
From then on, I continued to improve myself by developing ideas, selecting produce, improving my techniques, refining my palate and adding experiences to my development, as an individual and as a professional."
EXECUTIVE CHEF
CHEF STÉPHANE COSTA
Born in Ponte de Lima in 1992, Stéphane Costa graduated in “Cooking and Pastry” from EPRALIMA. His professional career began at the restaurant “A Tulha”, where he deepened his knowledge of the fundamentals of traditional Portuguese cuisine — a passion cultivated since childhood while preparing meals for family and friends. Over time, he developed his own gastronomic vision, marked by a sensory and contemporary approach that combines his technique and creativity. He joined the BLIND team in 2019, working closely with Chef Vitor Matos and refining the high standards, attention to detail and creative perspective that define his work. In 2025, he took over the kitchen as Executive Chef, combining respect for his roots and an innovative spirit to elevate the experience of each guest.
