José Avillez is the Portuguese chef of Belcanto in Lisbon and seven other restaurants in Portugal, one in Dubai and one in Macao. Cooking has always been a passion for José Avillez, but it was only in his senior year of studying Business Communication that he decided to become a chef. He worked and trained with many famous chefs, like Antoine Westermann in Portugal, Alain Ducasse and Eric Frechon in Paris, and finally got a traineeship at El Bulli with Ferran Adrià, that changed his career.
