LISBON ISSUE 53 Jun 2006

ELEVEN Restaurant is located in the centre of Lisbon's business district, overlooking the entire city and surrounded by beautiful gardens. It is both a restaurant and a place of culture and art.

The architecture of the purpose-built building is modern, minimalist and organic, using natural materials like wood and decorative stones, with enormous glass windows that open towards Lisbon and the river Tagus. The restaurant changes during the day as it adapts to the changing effect of the outside light and the views over Lisbon.

The chef and one of the partners, Joachim Koerper's restaurant "Girasol" in Spain holds two Michelin stars. In 2002 the Gourmetour guide rated it the best restaurant in the country. Joachim Koerper is also a member of both Relais Gourmands and Traditions&Qualité, two associations of the world's foremost chefs.
