Who are we?
I'm Chef Ivo Camões, and I grew up making cakes for my family. Even back 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 by competing and teaching for some years. But it was Rita, my wife, whose family had always worked in the pastry field, who encouraged me at the age of 20 to train in my chosen area.
I trained in the world of pastry and was fortunate 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 remained as head pastry chef for 4 and a half years.
Indeed, during that period I took the opportunity to deepen and refine my knowledge in Pastry.
I not only took courses with great world Chefs, including the illustrious Chef – World Pastry Champion – Christophe Michalak.
But thanks to my dear wife, who worked by my side, inspiring and encouraging me daily, we traveled all over France.
As well as, we dialogued there, perfecting our technical knowledge with famous Chefs from Paris.
We chased after our dreams.
And that's when we decided to return to our roots and open our Pâtisserie Dacquoise, where everything was meticulously planned.
A universe of sensations and pleasure that “apporte une vie de BONHEUR” to us.
