TAP Local Stars

The Local Stars project aims to elevate your onboard experience and showcase new Portuguese talent to the world, honoring the richness of our country's cuisine.

We invited six talents from Portuguese gastronomy, who work in kitchens from the north to the south of the country. Each of the Chefs will create two complete menus, which will be available in our Business Class (on long-haul flights departing from Lisbon) for two months each.

Over these four months, Chef Lídia Brás will soar to new heights, bringing innovation and diversity to each of her menus.

Born in Trás-os-Montes and trained in the arts, she discovered early on that the kitchen is where one truly becomes an artist, preserving the authenticity, seasonality and distinctive character of Portuguese dishes.

She currently oversees a petiscaria called Proua, and heads the kitchen at the Stramuntana project, bringing the flavours of her native region to every dish she creates. Although she increasingly takes part in television programmes and gastronomic events, it is through this project that she showcases the flavour of her talent.

Watch Chef Lídia Brás’s introductory video and discover the story behind the flavours of each of her menus.
