Midori

The best Japanese restaurant in Portugal, where the connection with the Land of the Rising Sun is evident in the name (Midori means "green", in clear reference to the delightfully verdant surroundings of the Penha Longa hotel.
Decorative features here include an open kitchen, walls embellished with vinyl, an attractive mural designed by a Portuguese artist, as well as large picture windows enabling the surrounding greenery to form part of the restaurant experience. The cuisine of talented chef Pedro Almeida, supported every day by the young resident chef Tiago Santo, showcases Portuguese cuisine with a Japanese soul which incorporates techniques from Japan and applies them to the best local ingredients. Two tasting menus, Kiri and Yama, are on offer, featuring bold dishes such as cod misoshiro, squid sashimi with a cured ham dashi, and Iberian pork sukiyaki with bell pepper. You can also choose between a huge array of sakes (served cold, at room temperature, or warm, depending on your preference).
