The culinary concept behind 100 Maneiras is one of absolute freedom – one that constantly takes risks and seeks to provoke a strong reaction and to leave a lasting mark with guests, often via ingredients referred to as "from the future" or that are little known (the larvae with onions was a dish that definitely came as a surprise!).
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. His different tasting menus (A História, O Conto and Ecos do 100, the latter vegetarian), are based around innovative cuisine with a constant nod (both physical and emotional) 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!
