Delight in every bite
From a young age, Adelino Costa showed a natural talent and deep passion for the culinary arts. Born in Portugal, he grew up immersed in the rich aromas and traditions of Portuguese cuisine, learning by watching his mother transform simple ingredients into unforgettable meals. These early experiences ignited a lifelong devotion to food and hospitality.
Driven by ambition and guided by his love for cooking, Chef Costa made the bold move to Toronto to pursue a better future. With a mastery of flavours and a tireless work ethic, he soon opened Ilhas de Bruma, a Portuguese restaurant where his culinary vision began to flourish. There, he crafted memorable dishes that blended the essence of Portugal with Mediterranean influences, quickly earning a loyal following.
In 2021, Chef Costa elevated his dream to new heights by founding The Flames Castle – Steakhouse & Seafood, a celebration of Mediterranean cuisine and refined dining. His extraordinary talent in the kitchen is matched only by his remarkable ability to lead with grace, ensuring every aspect of the restaurant runs seamlessly. His passion, precision, and attention to detail are the heartbeat of The Flames Castle’s success.
Today, Chef Costa welcomes each guest with warmth and pride. From the moment you enter the elegant patio to the last bite of your meal, he strives to offer more than just dinner — he delivers an experience. Every dish reflects his creativity, his roots, and his unwavering commitment to excellence. At The Flames Castle, Chef Costa invites you to savour the flavours of the Mediterranean — and feel truly at home.
