The chefs behind Basil Algarve
Raphael and Inês — one kitchen, one table, and the same standard for every plate that leaves it.
Founder & Chef
Raphael
Hoetzel
I'm Raphael, a dedicated chef. Cooking is not just a profession — it is a feeling, and one I want to convey through dishes prepared carefully and individually for you and the people you love most, in the comfort of your own home.
Founder & Chef
Inês
Crespo
I'm Inês, deeply passionate about food and pastry, and dedicated to crafting memorable events. I believe the world is filled with art for us to enjoy, and every event should reflect that beauty. We're here to brighten your table.
Cooking for the people at your table — in the Algarve, by appointment.
