Cascais, Portugal – From Saturday 20 to Sunday 21 September, the much-loved food and music festival Chefs on Fire returns to the beautiful surroundings of Marechal Carmona Park in Cascais, Portugal for its seventh edition.

Experience the heat 

Across the weekend, the festival’s iconic firepit will come alive as chefs cook exclusively with fire, smoke, and firewood, their movements framed by the crackle of flames and the scent of charred embers in the air. Drawing on their life experiences and the soul of their own restaurants, they’ll transform the simplest ingredients into dishes layered with flavour, texture, and character. From succulent meats sizzling over the coals to fresh fish gently smoked and vegetables charred for extra depth, there will be flavours to tempt every palate.

Sustainability in the spotlight
 

Chefs on Fire isn’t just about food – it’s built on Sustainable Hedonism, creating joy responsibly without excess. As one of Portugal’s most sustainable festivals, it’s guided by eight core pillars including nature, equality, and food waste. More than 1,000 trees have been planted to offset firewood use, a zero-plastic policy is enforced, and surplus food is donated to Refood.

 
Entertain all the senses 

Beyond the gastronomic delights, Chefs on Fire offers a full-fledged festival extravaganza. With live performances from some of the most promising Portuguese musicians, attendees of all ages will be kept entertained across the weekend.

Note to editors 

Historically a refuge for Portuguese nobility during WWII, and now an elegant blend of 19th-century architecture and traditional Portuguese charm, Cascais is a veritable paradise for those seeking endless culture, sun and sand. The historic wealth of Cascais’ royal past is still visible on every winding cobbled street, with grand palaces and extravagant villas dotted in between boutiques and classic eateries. A yet undiscovered region of Portugal that is just 20 minutes by train from Portugal’s capital of Lisbon, the charming cultural town of Cascais and neighbouring palatial Sintra offer a welcome escape for a more refined, relaxed escape.
