Al Sud

If you’re looking to escape from the stresses of daily life, you’ll find few better places than the elegant Club House at the Palmares Ocean Living & Golf resort, occupying a building that aims to blend into nature and boasts a superb covered terrace perfect for gazing out at the sunset while enjoying views of the bay.
Here, chef Louis Anjos conjures up contemporary cuisine with a creative touch, yet free of eccentricity, that takes as its point of reference ingredients from the Algarve and its coastline, with special attention given to fish and seafood that he sources daily from the auction in Sagres, as well as the best local meat. His cooking is based around a single, well-balanced tasting menu entitled "A Discovery", featuring ten courses that encapsulate the surrounding area and its ingredients (prawns, turbot, snapper, Iberian pork, Alentejo lamb etc), and a clear desire to create identifiable flavours. The chef enjoys heading out of the kitchen to greet his guests in person.
