who we are

* Foreword by Chef Ivo Camões *

Who are we?

I'm Chef Ivo Camões and I grew up making cakes for the family. After all, even then I wanted them to be different and exceptional.

However, I confess that I had a second passion - "tennis" - a sport to which I dedicated myself both competing and teaching for some years. But it was Rita, my wife, the daughter of someone who had always worked in the pastry business, who at the age of 20 encouraged me to get a degree in my chosen field.

I got into this world of pastry and was lucky enough to work with a great French Chef.

I was quickly invited to work in the south of France, on the beautiful Côte-D'Azur, where I stayed as head pastry chef for 4 and a half years.

Indeed, during this period I took the opportunity to deepen and refine my knowledge of Pastry.

About Us

improving knowledge

Not only did I study with great World Chefs, among them the illustrious Chef - World Pastry Champion - Christophe Michalak.

But for my dear wife, who working by my side inspired and encouraged me daily, we traveled all over France.

As well as, there we dialogued, perfecting our technical knowledge with famous Chefs from Paris.
We ran after our dreams.

And it was then that we decided to return to our origins and open our " Pâtisserie Dacquoise", where everything has been thought through to the smallest detail.

A universe of sensations and pleasure that "apporte une vie de BONHEUR".
(Chef Ivo Camões)
