What to expect

Chicca’s is now within Estrela da Luz, away from the beach-front restaurant strip. Its cooking has an Italian influence, combining Portuguese ingredients with homemade meals and tapas intended for sharing. There is a restaurant room, bar and space for private events.

The resort publishes a menu and a separate Sunday-roast offer. Its restaurant information also identifies a winter closure, so use the current booking contact when planning an off-season meal. This is a restaurant reservation rather than a requirement to stay at the resort.

Planning your visit

  • The restaurant’s current location is Estrela da Luz.
  • The resort publishes a winter closure; confirm availability when making an off-season reservation.
