The Ordinary
is ExtraordinaryThe dichotomy discovered in food feeds the concept of
Oficina do Duque. The respect with which a sardine and
a truffle can share a plate, the justice applied to cutting parsley
as well as a shimeji. It swings in the hands of the chef and its
team, sometimes by defying the nature of the ingredients,
sometimes by respecting their essence. It comes alive by
dignifying ingredients in an extraordinary dish, sometimes for
its clarity, sometimes for its complexity.
How delicious is this thrill of destroying prejudice?
The delicious discover that it is possible to unite through food
the dimensions we all have within: the ordinary
and the extraordinary.
The unpretentious craft practiced at Oficina is to banish
banality from simplicity. To live to give chickling vetch,
offal or (extra)ordinary greens the place of honor they deserve.
The food is deliciously unpredictable, like the salt hidden in
chocolate mousse, or ice cream as a main course.
Let the gravy come on the steak to dip the body until
we find our soul, because only then do we find the taste
of life, never knowing if we are the ones who dare the days,
or if its life itself that sparkles the spice in us.
