Executive Chef Manfred Kickmaier was born in Austria and brought to the kitchen a different kind of approach.  

Since he arrived in Portugal he has been able to take advantage of what our country has to offer – not only on a culinary level.  And now, he shares his delicious Deer Goulash recipe, for you to prepare at home and leave your guests´ mouth wide open, at least until they try it.
