What to expect

The kitchen emphasises seasonal produce and combines Mediterranean cooking with Portuguese influences. The restaurant’s inland position on the approach to Coelha makes it useful for visitors staying around Sesmarias and Galé, without moving dinner into central Albufeira.

Contact the venue to arrange a restaurant table. Group lunches and dinners have separate arrangements, so make the size and occasion clear when enquiring. If you are pairing a beach afternoon with dinner, use the restaurant’s own address for the final part of your journey.

Planning your visit

  • Arrange tables directly with the restaurant.
  • Group meals should be discussed separately.
