On today’s episode of The Portugal Diaries, we sit down with Chef Victor Yu—celebrated chef, restaurateur, and the creative force behind Yu Algarve in Almancil. Known for winning Gordon Ramsay’s Best Chinese in the UK (2010) and multiple Golden Chopsticks Awards, Victor has built a reputation for blending traditional Chinese techniques with bold, global flavors.
We talk about his journey from the UK’s fine-dining scene to Portugal’s sunny Algarve, his passion for working with the best local ingredients, and his vision for making Yu Algarve a destination that redefines luxury dining. From kitchen stories to the challenges of launching a world-class restaurant in a new country, Victor shares insights, inspiration, and a taste of what’s to come.
