It’s the story of an everlasting love affair, Dieter Koschina and the Atlantic Ocean. Our proximity to the abundant riches of the sea and Portugal’s excellent produce has provided a constant source of inspiration for Chef Koschina, ever since he set foot in Vila Joya’s kitchen 30 years ago. His cuisine has been described as “refreshingly straightforward, yet full of flavour and of the moment”. With a focus on light and fresh dishes, he is a craftsman of flavours, aromas and the natural taste of the produce. Once he’s discovered the right balance of ingredients and flavour, he only then considers presentation, which is no less impressive. REQUEST A RESERVATION 30 YEARS OF INSPIRATION Chef Dieter Koschina Thirty years ago, Dieter Koschina came from Austria to the Algarve and laid the foundation for his mastery and Vila Joya’s fame. Earning his first Michelin star in 1995, and second in 1999, Chef Koschina and his team have defined Vila Joya as a culinary gem of the world that it is today. Together with his Executive Chef Stefan Langmann, Chef Koschina creates a new menu every day. He once jokingly named his approach “John Wayne Style” due to the fact that some of his dishes are created with such spontaneity and precision, as if they were well aimed shots from the hip of the ‘Duke’ himself. However, we think, “Peter Pan meets Einstein“ would be an equally fitting description. Everyday Chef Koschina sets himself the challenge to start from scratch – his tools: ingenuity, curiosity, enthusiasm, unparalleled talent and the highest craftsmanship.
