Sabores de Mercado in Sintra played host to a successful dinner organised by Richard Roestorf, the new Bailli of Greater Lisbon 2.

The event was attended by notable guests including Llewellyn Marais, Chancelier Argentier of South Africa and Paulo Amado, Bailli Délégué of Portugal. We were also delighted with the presence of Baillis from other local Bailliages in Portugal, namely Ana Furtado Moreira (North), Pedro Ornelas (Porto); Jean Ferran (Algarve).

Members and their guests were treated to a delicious menu prepared by Chef Israel Fernandes and his team.
