Taste the Stars

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


Our cuisine is unique.  

Here the aromas have been refined over more than 8 centuries. The spices crossed oceans to reach our dishes. The wines climbed mountains and painted magnificent landscapes.

Because our cuisine is Portugal and because TAP is Portugal, we challenged 5 of the best Portuguese chefs to serve our best dishes to our customers and the whole world.

Henrique Sá Pessoa, Ricardo Costa, Rui Paula, Tiago Bonito and our chef Vítor Sobral are the ambassadors of the national cuisine now served on board.
