MEDITERRANEAN ROOTS. A LISBON TABLE.
BAZ brings together Chef Maz’s Mediterranean roots, Portugal’s seasonal ingredients and the pleasure of a table shared.
Our cooking is shaped by close relationships with small farmers and producers, French culinary training and a fascination with Japanese techniques. Alongside it, cocktails, wine and a carefully chosen soundtrack invite you to settle in and let the evening unfold.
FROM THEIR HANDS TO YOUR PLATE.
Behind every season at BAZ is a community of small farmers and producers who care deeply about what they grow and make. Their harvests shape our menu; our kitchen carries that care onto the plate.
For us, sustainability lives in these everyday choices: working with the seasons, nurturing close relationships with our producers, and finding more possibilities in every ingredient.
TIME, TEXTURE & DEPTH.
Time shapes our approach to fish and meat. We prepare selected fish using suki biki—the Japanese technique of removing scales with a knife—before dry ageing, developing flavour and refining texture.
Alongside our aged meats, we make bluefin tuna mojama in-house and use kombu-jime, curing fish with kombu to bring depth and umami. Each preparation follows its own rhythm, guided by the ingredient and the dish it will become.
IN OUR LAB, TIME IS AN INGREDIENT.
In our lab, Chef Maz explores fermentation through a Mediterranean lens. We grow our own koji, turn bread and grains into misos, and make garums, vinegars and our own interpretation of shoyu with freekeh and moghrabieh.
Each jar is an experiment in flavour, observed and tasted over time. These preparations find their way into the dishes we serve, adding depth while helping us make more of every ingredient.
STAY FOR THE VIBE.
Dinner is only the beginning. As the evening unfolds, our artists guide the room through an eclectic mix of sounds—from soulful discoveries to deeper rhythms and unexpected selections.
Played through our custom-built audiophile system, the music becomes a little more present as the night gathers energy. Conversation continues, another glass is poured, and there’s every reason to stay.
FROM THE FIRST SIP TO ONE MORE.
A house cocktail to begin. A glass of wine alongside the next plate. A favourite classic as another record plays.
The bar is part of the BAZ table: a place to explore the cocktail list, share something to eat and stay a little longer than planned.
