REVIEW: Arola Restaurant – Gourmet Tapas in Sintra
Set on Penha Longa Spa & Golf Resort, a Sintra 5 star Resort 20 km out of Lisbon (map), Sergi Arola’s creation is a trendy deluxe restaurant and tapas bar. On a light colour ambience with views over the Resort greens, the chef from the former 2 Michelin Stars Madrid’s La Broche gives Lisbon the opportunity to enjoy his creations.
The atmosphere is informal and somewhat chill-out minimalist. Different sets of white, blue and violet colours combine to create different spaces – a long...

A superb combination of classic and modern...

... In a modern bright style restaurant, where the informal stand side by side with sophistication, the young chef Alexandre Silva is serving stylish gourmet gastronomy.

REVIEW: Olivier Café
... with a la carte in Olivier Café. Named after his owner, sun of the known Portuguese chef Michel, this restaurant has gained the appreciation of the gourmet lovers. The cosy atmosphere in a sophisticated ambience is partly dued to the presence of Olivier and Nathalie, his sister and manager, constantly trying to make you feel at home. The warm colours and the golden tonalities grant it a refined and exclusive touch.
The Degustation Menu is still one of the top choices of the house. To the five starters...
