Miguel Guedes de Sousa: November 2013

From 7^th to 17^th November, the Algarve welcomes 37 Master Chefs, in a total of 60 Michelin Stars, who vow to create unforgettable days for all epicurean lovers.

Every year, and this is its seventh edition (7-17 November), the standards raise and the quest for unforgettable gourmet moments is the International Gourmet Festival’s best offer to all epicurean lovers. This is a unique festival, which is also a tribute to Claudia, who was born in Albufeira, specifically in the internationally acclaimed Villa Joya premises, with its 2 Michelin Stars cuisine led by Dieter Koschina, and now with an increasing role, by Matteo Ferrantino.

In 2013 the offer is strong, very strong, and diverse. Following a few gastronomic events at other sites besides Villa Joya, the International Gourmet Festival turns wider and now includes a new “heavy-weight” partner, the Conrad Algarve, the luxurious hotel at Quinta do Lago, which will also hosts a number of dinners, led by German Chef Heinz Beck (3 Michelin Stars) - who actually gave origin to the resort’s best restaurant name, the Gusto by Heinz Beck. Given the partnership with the Conrad Algarve, the launching event, named Inaugural Cuisine Celebration, will take place at this restaurant on 5^th November, 2 days before the actual Festival. Throughout the Festival’s 10 days duration, there will be additional events such as a luncheon at Herdade da Malhadinha Nova, near Beja, a gourmet event at the Monte Rei Golf & Country Club, near Vila Real de Santo António, which restaurant Vistas is led by Catalan Chef Jaime Perez.

As for the Festival’s “stars constellation”, just a few notes on the importance of this gastronomic event both for the Algarve and for Portugal. Thus, 2013 world’s best restaurant, according to The World 50 Best Restaurants, El Celler de Can Roca (3 Michelin Stars), Girona, Spain, is represented by his brother, Joan Roca, at a (sold-out!) dinner on 10^th November. On 16^th, also at Villa Joya, takes place the long waited dinner Koschina & Friends: Royal Food Party, which will gather a total of 26 Michelin Stars, with special focus on Hans Neuner, of the Portuguese Ocean, the gourmet restaurant at the Vila Vita Park Hotel (Algarve), Thomas Buehner (La Vie, Germany), Juan Amador (Juan Amador, Germany), Andreas Caminada (Schloss Schauenstein, Switzerland) or Sven Elverfeld (Aqua, Germany). Truly, the International Gourmet Festival will welcome 37 Master Chefs, 60 Michelin Stars and 1001 celestial courses!

In this varied and alluring program, just a quick reference to the thematic luncheons, to take place at the Conrad Algarve, for the long waited Portuguese Michelin starred Chefs dinner, which brings together starred Chefs working at national restaurants. On the 12^th, another dinner will gather national starred chefs with Nuno Mendes, a Portuguese Chef working for the British Viajante and George Mendes, now working for the NY Aldea.

As for prices, they range between 350 and 600 euros (numerous meals are already sold-out).
