Taste the Stars

We show the world the best that Portuguese cuisine has to offer.


Our cuisine is unique. 

Here, the flavours have been perfected over eight centuries. The seasonings crossed the oceans to reach our dishes. The wines climbed mountains and painted magnificent landscapes.

Because our cuisine is Portugal and TAP is Portugal, we challenged five of the best Portuguese chefs to bring our best dishes to our clients and to the entire world.

Henrique Sá Pessoa, Ricardo Costa, Rui Paula, Tiago Bonito and our own Chef Vítor Sobral will be ambassadors of our national cuisine, which will be from now served on board our flights.
