TheGastronomic Day
For travellers who go where the food is. Wine, chef-led kitchens, considered plates. Adults 35-60. They book ahead and remember the dessert.
Atmosphere
The Day
Leggero Bakery
If you don't settle for ordinary bread, Leggero is the answer. Naturally leavened loaves, gluten-free options, and breakfast here is part of the ritual.
“Impossível não provar o pão de fermentação natural deles.”See in the guide
Explore the Hibon-Seda Sun Dunes, an incredible view with Ibera Hill in background.
Dunas da Ribanceira
A worthwhile detour. The view from the dunes towards Ibirahill is as beautiful as the reverse. Sandboards and skibundas available on site if you fancy testing your balance.
“Alugue um sandboard e treine o equilíbrio. O visual das dunas já vale o passeio.”See in the guide
Sit by the edge of the dining room — the view of Praia do Rosa is part of the menu.
Restaurante Engenho do Mar
A place to eat well over a stunning view of Praia do Rosa. Seafood, pasta, meat — every plate creative, every flavour generous.
“Fomos no inverno sentamos ao lado da lareira quentinha e saboreamos ótimos pratos com frutos do mar.”See in the guide
Pit-stop at Silveira — imported wines and local cheeses to bring back to Ibirahill.
Supermarket Silveira — Campo D'Una
The best supermarket in the area for quality and variety. The butcher counter is excellent too.
“O melhor da região em qualidade e variedade. Açougue muito bom.”See in the guide
Wine and view at the Galeria
Picked up a wine at Silveira? The Galeria's veranda is the place. Sea view, glass in hand, no rush to dinner.
Discover the housesEnjoy a nice vibe and try out great cocktails with local ingredients.
Mini Cocktail Bar
A little gem that reminds us of east London's petit and hidden cocktail bars. Nice vibe, good drinks and great service.
“Butia Collins é top”See in the guide
The day closes at Cruo. Order the tasting menu if available — worth the trip.
Cruo Restaurante
Cruo is a quiet gem. A chef with serious fusion chops — Chilean meets Japanese, and the result is a flavour explosion. Worth every minute.
“Nosso favorito foi a berinjela. É muito sabor em um prato só.”See in the guide
