For each guest that stopped at their station, Albino Silva and his team from Chiado plated lobster- and shrimp-stuffed scabbard fish on caramelized bananas, then topped it off with passion fruit coulis and lobster-cognac sauce. Between services, chef Dave Kemp filled us in with the latest details on their newest venture: Salt Wine Bar.
