TAP Local Stars
The Local Stars Chef menus offer a unique gastronomic trip, where the Chefs are the stars.
Let's give the world a taste of Portuguese talent
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 Business (on long-haul flights departing from Lisbon, with departures until 10:00 p.m.) for two months each.
