Two Stars: Excellent cooking
Rarely is the concept of “bringing the sea to your table” more apt or authentic than at this restaurant where the waves almost break in the dining room! In this unique and spectacular building (an officially listed national monument) standing on the rocks above the Praia da Boa Nova, chef Rui Paula, ably supported by executive chef Catarina Correia, presents cuisine inspired by a verse (“Hitherto unchartered waters”) by famous Portuguese poet Luís Vaz de Camões in his most celebrated work, The Lusiads. This is showcased on a concise à la carte and a superb tasting menu entitled Cantos, which can be ordered with 6, 12 or 21 dishes. His cuisine, which is centred around the maritime world and which always makes full use of truly exceptional ingredients, includes standout dishes such as Red Prawn/Broccoli/Kaffir Lime, Squid “Chanel”, and John Dory/Chicory, and has a strong focus on presentation, texture and flavour, as well as contemporary techniques that extract the maximum from the Atlantic’s exceptional fish and seafood.
