In the Hands of the Chef

Kappo means “to slice and cook”, a traditional elite Japanese culinary style similar to kaiseki albeit less formal. Here, customers and chefs sit face to face, with just the counter between them. It’s this mutual interaction that makes the culinary experiences of Kappo cuisine memorable.

As in Japan, at KAPPO in Cascais, everything happens around the counter. From there, all the movements of a perfect choreography are on display, and every detail matters.

On this side, there is rigour, precision and attention to detail. On the other side, all the five senses are tingled, and everything becomes perfect, unforgettable, and turns into a long-lasting memory.

COURTESY AND FINESSE

Confidence is the starting point of the OMAKASE concept, which means “to place oneself in the hands of the chef”. At KAPPO, the hands belong to Tiago Penão and to the Kappo team, working together in perfect harmony.

The whole team embodies hospitality, the fine art of receiving – that in Japan is called OMOTENASHI – because at Kappo, courtesy and finesse are as important as food. We want all our visitors to always feel special.

THE CHEF

Respect for Japanese gastronomy and its traditions are a constant in the work of Tiago Penão, but his style is more eclectic. Crossing tradition with modernity, Tiago’s gastronomic trajectory infuses his creations: from classical French cuisine to his work with the creativity of Albert Adrià.

It’s in this aesthetic and creative context that Tiago masters the equilibrium between the respect for the dogmatic Japanese traditions and contemporary gastronomy. Modern and MINIMALIST, his cuisine innovates and at the same time honours the principles of high Japanese gastronomy, intersecting with influences from the European haute cuisine.
