The experience looks to Portugal\u2019s culinary traditions while interpreting them through a modern lens. It is among the Michelin Experiences in Portugal that demonstrate how heritage can remain relevant without becoming nostalgic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Alma, acclaimed chef Henrique S\u00e1 Pessoa explores sophisticated contemporary cuisine with precision and restraint.
