At Bar Lourinhã, we believe true hospitality comes from the heart. Our passion is sharing our love of mediterranean flavours, wine and cherished memories.

In Lourinhã: Iberian and Mediterranean dishes to share, Matt McConnell and Jo Gamvros share their love of Europe’s bar dining culture through 90 incredible, vibrant recipes, from tapas to mezethes. They explore the amazing flavours of Italy, Sicily, Portugal and Greece through recipes that inspired them to embrace and redefine bar dining culture in Melbourne.
From clifftop restaurants overlooking the Bay of Naples, to family-run bars in back alleys of Seville, seafood specialists on the Portuguese coast and the incredible, bustling markets of Athens, Matt and Jo leave no snack uneaten, no market unexplored, no hidden bar undiscovered, and no recipe unwritten.
