Signature cuisine led by Chef Silvina Coelho
At the helm of the kitchen, Chef Silvina Coelho creates menus that feel like true sensory journeys. While 1828 is known for tasting menus paired with still wines or young Vintage Port, each Wine Dinner is designed from scratch – exclusive, carefully curated and created to match the featured wines.
Every dish is made to enhance the aromas and flavours of the selected wines, creating pairings that are both unexpected and spot-on. Inspired by Portuguese roots, the chef elevates seasonal ingredients through technique, creativity and pure passion.

For Wine Dinners, the menu takes the experience to the next level. The evening unfolds in the following courses:
• Handmade aged beef croquette with truffle mayo
• Beef loin tartare with egg yolk, capers, white onion, a hint of spice, Avruga and handmade rosemary bread
• Slow-cooked aged beef rib with meat jus
• Josper-grilled beef entrecôte with shoestring fries, sautéed turnip greens and Aveiro sea salt
• Pistachio and Raspberry - Moist pistachio cake, raspberry textures, almond streusel
