When we talk of unique restaurants, we refer to places such as Vista! This restaurant occupies a delightful early 20C palace situated on a promontory in the middle of the Praia da Rocha, hence the authentic picture-postcard views of the immense Atlantic.With an emphasis on sustainability, chef João Oliveira creates meat dishes as part of a culinary repertoire that champions local ingredients, including olive oil. The experience here begins with appetisers in the kitchen before heading into the elegant dining room to choose between two menus: Vista (exclusively based around locally caught fish and seafood) and Terra (vegetarian). To help explain the provenance of ingredients (langoustine from Sagre, sardines from Portimão, violet prawns from Vila Real de Santo António, baby squid from Praia da Rocha, etc), three ceramic pieces are placed on your table that highlight the different areas of the Algarve.
