Bon Bon owner Nuno Diogo has celebrated the restaurant’s accomplishment which has come after a change in kitchen leadership and at the end of an “atypical and very difficult year on every level for the restaurant sector.”
As Nuno Diogo pointed out, this was the seventh straight year that Bon Bon has received a Michelin star.
“This is a distinction that honours us greatly in a particularly difficult year, one of many sacrifices and uncertainty,” he said, adding that receiving the Michelin star comes as a “prize for all the difficulties we overcame this year”.
“It is an award that leaves us proud, but that should also leave Lagoa proud for having a restaurant of unmatched quality,” he said.
“I also want to thank chef José Lopes, our whole team at Bon Bon and those who contributed to its success with commitment, creativity and sacrifice,” the owner added.
