Mapa restaurant, The sea and travelling are Portuguese culture and identity fundamentals. Portuguese People have always sought the unknown and the adventure to transcend our limits. This journey has cultural, political and mystical aspects, all of them human, with their lights and shadows. New paths were forged, creating a global world and a new collective destiny that also resulted in new culture, born from the many encounters by sea, between the West and the East. It is a human expression that goes beyond literature, architecture and music. It is a culture that is imprinted in the gastronomy of travel, marked by the spice routes and many other ingredients, as well as by the unexpected encounters between fruits and flavors. Welcome to MAPA. Here, we seek to celebrate and translate this wide gastronomic culture, born from our sea voyages, offering a new expedition each season.
