Buzzwords like “healthy”, “organic”, and “zero-waste” get thrown around a lot in the restaurant scene (doubly so in the world of Michelin guide eateries), but no kitchen truly emraces this philosophy quite like Sem.
Lara and George run SEM with steadfast commitment towards regenerative agriculture, traceable seafood, and foraged ingredients, and while a restaurant of this sort could easily skate by on the reputation earned with its lofty ideals, the actual dishes speak for themselves. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that the zander filet I ate at SEM remains one of the, if not the very best, fish plates I’ve had in Portugal.
SEM can be proud of its mission statement, but even a blind customer will instantly fall in love with this place after one bite.
