Portuguese chef João Rodrigues has announced plans to open a new restaurant called Mogo next spring, on the coast of Alentejo, Portugal. The project, revealed this week by the influential expert and his team, aims to establish a new dining destination in the region.

Rodrigues is leading the venture, which marks his latest foray into the restaurant industry. He is recognised for his commitment to Portuguese gastronomy, featuring in a range of high-profile culinary projects. His new project is expected to draw attention from both food critics and diners interested in contemporary Portuguese cuisine. The opening will add to the growing number of gastronomic establishments in Alentejo, which has seen a rise in tourism and investment in recent years.
