"Since he opened Lisboeta, a Portuguese-focused restaurant in London’s Charlotte Street, chef Nuno Mendes has decided to use the names in his native language to describe the dishes in the menu. 'I thought it would also be important to have a little description of the process, since many recipes are not familiar to many people.' It’s not, he says, about going in-depth into history or tradition, but having some information so the guest can know what’s coming to the table. 'We chose to tell the main ingredients of the dish and one or two cuisine terms. We explain if it’s served raw or roasted or grilled when it makes sense for the client to discern,' he says." - Rafael Tonon
