Ocean Restaurant is a mix of intimacy and vastness. Intimate in that the dining room accommodates just over 30 diners. This guarantees that each guest enjoys truly individual service and ensures that the highest parameters of fine dining are maintained. Vastness, in the amazing and immersive ocean views and huge horizon that enfold diners as they enter the restaurant.
The glorious cuisine at Ocean Restaurant is frequently inspired by the ocean and the decor and views enhance this even more. The decor emanates an ocean deep ambience that is as entrancing as it is relaxing. The restaurant overlooks the VILA VITA gardens and the view sweeps down to the coastline and majestic Atlantic. The ambience is calm, elegant and relaxed, and is the perfect background for a memorable experience. The wonderful food is perfectly complemented by the extensive and impressive wine list. The staff are happy to offer recommendations and wine pairing for each course.
The Ocean Restaurant menu for 2025 continues the voyage of flavour discovery and Portuguese history initiated in past years, a philosophy inspired by connecting the past and the present. An epic voyage across the globe, the Tastes of Discovery menu is inspired by the volcanic depths of the Azores, the vibrant flavours of Bangkok and Tokyo, the coastal bounties of Canada and Hawaii.
