A Culinary Journey in the Algarve
In the picturesque region of Algarve, the Al Sud Palmares restaurant has been awarded its third consecutive Michelin star, showcasing the culinary prowess of Chef Louis Anjos and Sous Chef Jeferson Dias. This renowned dining establishment is located in Odiáxere, just minutes from Lagos, and offers a unique gastronomic experience that highlights local flavors.
As you approach the Algarve, large billboards herald your arrival, featuring everything from local supermarkets to enticing real estate opportunities. But once you pass the toll, a captivating view of the ocean greets you with the phrase: "Home is where the ocean is." This sets the stage for the Palmares Ocean Living & Golf, home to the acclaimed Al Sud restaurant.
The Dining Experience
The Al Sud Palmares restaurant is part of a larger residential resort that includes a boutique five-star hotel and a 27-hole golf course. The Michelin-starred dining experience is complemented by a casual atmosphere at the adjacent Clubhouse, where Mediterranean-inspired dishes are served.
Chef Anjos emphasizes a modern cuisine that creatively showcases the best of Algarve's natural produce, especially focusing on fresh fish and seafood sourced daily from the local fish market in Sagres. The menu features six or eight courses, and reservations are essential due to the restaurant's limited seating of just 24 guests.
An Exquisite Menu
Diners can expect an array of innovative dishes, including:
- Prawn and sea urchin tartlet
- Mussels with smoked eel
- Squid stuffed with its own head
- Sole with textures of celery
Each dish is paired with local wines, enhancing the flavors of the Algarve. The experience is further enriched by the expertise of Nuno Pires, the maitre d', who shares stories about the region's producers and winemakers.
