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.
“Their sourdough bread is a must-try.”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.
“Rent a sandboard and work on your balance. The view of the dunes is worth the trip on its own.”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.
“We visited in winter, sat by the warm fireplace, and enjoyed excellent seafood dishes.”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.
“The best in the area for quality and variety. Very good butcher counter.”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.
“The Butia Collins is excellent”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.
“Our favourite was the aubergine. So much flavour in a single dish.”See in the guide
