Ana Moura was born in Lisbon, Portugal, and started working in jewellery at a very young age. In 2007 she graduated in Marketing from the Instituto Superior de Gestão de Lisboa, but soon realised that this was not what she was really passionate about, so the following year she enrolled at the Lisbon School of Hotel Management and Tourism, and cooking became her great passion. 

She completed several stages at Joachim Koerper's Eleven, El Almacén de Ávila and El Almacén, directed by Isidora Beotas, as well as a sommelier course. At the beginning of 2013, he began a one-year stint at Arzak. San Sebastián, followed by another year with Ander González at Astelena 1997.

In 2015 he returned to Portugal to take charge of Cave 23 (Lisbon), where he worked for two years. In 2017 he took over Bacalhoaria Moderna, but the crisis caused by Covid-19 led the owners to close the restaurant.

In May 2021 he opened Lamelas, in Porto Covo, where he offers a new Alentejo cuisine, with the products and flavours of the Alentejo, but without barriers, renewing the canons of traditional cuisine and always reflecting its history and where he has worked.
