The name Eleven refers to the eleven friends, one a chef, who embarked upon this business venture in a unique space with a minimalist look in the upper section of the Amália Rodrigues gardens, with stunning views of the Eduardo VII park. German chef Joachim Koerper, who has vast international experience behind him, serves Mediterranean-inspired cuisine with a meticulous and creative touch, based around locally sourced seasonal ingredients. His culinary focus is built around three menus: one dedicated to the “50-year career of Joachim Koerper”; a second more contemporary offering simply called “Onze”; and a third, “Lavagante Azul”, which showcases the blue lobster after which it is named.
