The Algarve’s prestigious VILA VITA Parc re-opened the doors of its most celebrated dining venue, the Ocean Restaurant, after a dramatic transformation that sees the culinary experience and interior design spectacularly re-imagined by stellar chef Hans Neuner.
One of just three, highly-esteemed Portuguese restaurants to win two Michelin stars, the restaurant’s stylish renovation reflects the artistry of Chef Neuner’s food, and enhances the singular dining adventure offered.
Gastronomes are invited to start their culinary journey by stepping into the working kitchen, where they can sample delightful bites prepared by the Chef himself, and discover the philosophy behind his cuisine. Bringing down the boundaries between the kitchen and dining rooms further, is the Chef’s Table, seating up to six guests it allows diners to make a dynamic connection with Chef Neuner, and witness dishes created first-hand.
WINE CELLAR
VILA VITA Parc´s Cave de Vinhos (wine cellar) is one of the best kept resort secrets, with it’s newest initiative being “Meet the Chef at the Cellar”. The objective is to offer the guest a more personalised, familiar and enriching experience of its celebrated products.
Those who visit the cellar are able to better understand the secrets behind the creation of each dish and the pairing of the wines and their stories, in a unique and elevating dining experience. The ‘Wine Dinners’ include a selection of tapas followed by a main dish, dessert or cheese, and three glasses of wine recommended by the sommelier.
MENU
The menu has evolved to incorporate an à la carte selection of international dishes inspired by ingredients discovered by Portuguese colonial explorers, celebrating the heritage of navigators who brought back flavours from all corners of the earth.
