Rarely has the idea of "bringing the sea to the table" been so literal, so authentic, so wild… to the point where you can feel the waves crashing in the dining room. It is no coincidence that this unique building, declared a National Monument, rises from the rocks of Boa Nova Beach. Chef Rui Paula, with Executive Chef Catarina Correia at his side, based his offering on a verse ("Through seas never before sailed") by the illustrious poet Luís Vaz de Camões in his famous epic The Lusiads. The offer, presented on a concise menu and an excellent tasting menu entitled Cantos, allows you to choose six, twelve or twenty-one dishes. Focused on the marine world and marked by exceptional ingredients, the kitchen stands out with dishes such as Red Prawn/Broccoli/Kaffir Lime, "Chanel" Squid and John Dory/Endive, placing great emphasis on presentation, textures and flavours, as well as modern techniques that make the most of the extraordinary fish and seafood of the Atlantic.
