The concept behind 100 Maneiras is one of absolute freedom – a freedom not to follow rules or pre-conceived ideas that restrict one’s personality or creativity.
Everything here revolves around chef Ljubomir Stanisic, a native of Sarajevo (Bosnia-Herzegovina), who arrived in Portugal in his late-teens following the war in his country, healing the wounds of his soul by devoting himself to cooking. The three tasting menus here (A História, O Conto, and Ecos do 100) are based around innovative cuisine with a constant nod to his origins, although influences from his adopted homeland and further afield are also evident. His more traditional starters and desserts also have an interesting twist given that he used to make these with his mother!
