The story
Perched on the highest hilltop of Lisbon, at Jardim Amália Rodrigues, Eleven is a restaurant that blends sophistication with comfort. The space offers a magnificent view over the old city, with a private room and terrace for events, and an atmosphere that is both cosmopolitan and intimate. It is here that Chef Joachim Koerper brings his fifty years of culinary experience to life.
Joachim Koerper fell in love with the ingredients and traditions of Southern Europe long ago, and today he is widely recognized as a master of Mediterranean cuisine. His cooking philosophy is straightforward: “I work exclusively with products in season.” This dedication to freshness and locality defines the gastronomic concept at Eleven. Koerper adapts his creativity to the environment, recreating traditional recipes and finding new ways to use ingredients from local markets.
To mark his fiftieth year in the kitchen, Koerper crafted a special menu that traces his life route, from his start in Germany through the countries that shaped him. “This Menu is a voyage through that life route, with culinary creations, based on the places that meant the most to me,” he shares. The result is a deeply personal tasting experience that reflects a half-century of mastery.
Eleven’s menus are built around the chef’s seasonal, Mediterranean approach. Guests can choose from options including the Eleven Menu, a Lobster Menu, and the Discovering Flavours Menu, all showcasing the best of what the markets offer. The restaurant’s commitment to quality has earned it a Michelin star, a recognition that underscores the consistency and precision of Koerper’s kitchen.
The setting itself contributes to the meal. With drapes, candles, and soft lighting, the space transforms from vibrant during the day to intimate at night. Whether for a private celebration or a leisurely dinner, Eleven offers a welcoming environment that lets the food speak.
