our friend marius MAKES THESE BEAUTIFUL BOWL WHERE WE SERVE OUR MATCHA, THE SHAPE GIVES YOU A PERFECT grip!

we bake eight loaves of sourdough bread to serve with our lunch options and we think its fluffy and slightly elastic body makes for a perfect sponge to clean the sauce out of plates.

sometimes we try to finish dishes in a scultural way, it’s good to try and surprise people

focaccia in the winter is the perfect oily bread to soak warm nurturing broth

if you need to digest your meal or just relax go downstairs and have fun at our ping pong table 

a green corsican omelette with generous chunks of goat’s cheese is the perfect spring welcoming

lime and flowers agua fresca for hot and muddy days

grapes don’t make a good compote but they’re a nice ingredient to create a sirupy cordial

our spice cabinet helps us making some new and surprising flavour combo, it’s full of spices from a store down our street and other powerful condiments

olive oil is our most used oil, it is precious and comes from freixo de espada à cinta

steam from cooking pots it’s a cook’s daily sauna

best view for us, a clean plate

polenta colours matching kitchen towels

blueberries and ricotta work together alarmingly well

flying whole wheat chapati

chapati settled on the plate

warm porridge is the definitive solution to a grey cold day, and it’s slightly bettered served in a bowl, so you can also warm your hands

dogs are perfect in many ways, but they’re pretty solid as icebreakers for human interaction

testing dishes all the time so we don’t serve you over or under seasoned stuff, if we ever did, we’re sorry about that

eggs are individually fried to optimize their cuteness

lunch for two, to share

a fine lunch for one: onion and thyme tarte tatin with goat cheese and walnuts + a crisp glass of white wine

eggs are fun to cook with because you can always make them look like big googly eyes

warm fluffy moroccan bread infused with fennel seeds to help you scoop all the yogurt and carrot juices

sesame oven egg cake being checked for tenderness

beatriz is our flower girl, it is commonly a poetic moment when she comes to época every week with a fresh bundle

stacking corn bread is a good exercise of balance

spills and cracks happen quite often in a kitchen, it’s better to deal lightly with it, if you take it seriously, life will became a tiny bit more difficult
