Pioneering food and travel company Mimo announces their newest location, Mimo Algarve. This cooking school and gourmet shop, located in the southern Algarve region of Portugal, is Mimo’s first location outside of Spain. The 300m2 cooking school, opening June 2018, will be located in the five-star Pine Cliffs, a Luxury Collection Resort.
Mimo Algarve offers from June a daily selection of hands-on cooking and wine experiences in what will be a lovely, light-filled space in the center of the Pine Cliffs Resort. The offering will include classes on Algarve cuisine, both traditional and modern Portuguese cuisine, as well as new family classes, where parents and children come together around the stoves. The cooking school has an integrated shop space, which features the best conserves, salts, charcuterie, cheeses, and gifts from the artisans of Portugal. All of the shop’s products have been specially curated, with lots of care and mimo, the Portuguese term for the love you give baby—or a homemade dish.
“Our cooking schools have met with great success in San Sebastián and Sevilla,” says Jon Warren, CEO of Mimo. “We are excited to explore a new culinary culture with our opening in Portugal. Partnering with Pine Cliffs means we will bring their guests and other visitors to the Algarve a new experience that will become the highlight of their holiday.”
Mimo Algarve will offer its food and wine experiences, awarded globally for innovation and quality, year round. In addition to the cooking classes and wine experiences, the cooking school will host Supper Clubs, nightly gatherings that celebrate traditional and modern cooking and put diners front row with the chefs for an entertaining experience with perfectly paired wine and food. Mimo Algarve also makes it easy to explore the rest of Portugal and Spain, offering packages and bespoke travel options from its expert team.
