Antonio Pinto, son of Portuguese parents, arrived in Belgium as a 17-year old UN-refugee. He pursued an artistic education at the “Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts” in Liège which he financed by doing odd jobs in restaurant kitchens. In 1976, he opened his first restaurant, housed in two workers’ houses connected by a glass partition. In 1980 the Besser guide, the German equivalent of the Gault et Millau, declared Antonio Pinto one of the 100 best chefs in Central Europe.
