Rodolfo Lavrador is a chef with a contemporary mindset and a precise identity, whose cuisine combines technical rigour, sensitivity and a deep connection to the product. He worked in renowned kitchens in New York and London, both of which have been recognized by the Michelin Guide, before returning to Portugal. At CURA (restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon), where he has been part of the team since 2022 and will take on the role of Executive Chef in 2025, he champions an elegant, minimalist and expressive cuisine that values the purity of flavours, sustainability and absolute respect for the origin of ingredients. His approach balances nostalgia and innovation, leading a young team with creativity, active listening and a strong commitment to local producers, in a kitchen focused on the product and the people.
