TheGastronomic Day
For travellers who go where the food is. Wine, chef-led kitchens, considered plates. They book ahead and remember dessert.
Suggested hours. Arrange opening times, activities and meeting points before setting out.
Atmosphere
The Day
Leggero Bakery
If you don't settle for ordinary bread, Leggero is the answer. Naturally leavened loaves, and breakfast here is part of the ritual. Check gluten-free options and delivery directly with the bakery.
“Their sourdough bread is a must-try.”See in the guide
Explore the Ribanceira dunes along existing paths. Bring water and confirm access.
Dunas da Ribanceira
A worthwhile detour. The view from the dunes towards Ibirahill is as beautiful as the reverse. The landscape is enough for a visit; if you want to try sandboarding or skibunda, check rental availability and conditions first.
“The view of the dunes is worth the trip on its own. Check rentals first if you want to work on your balance on a sandboard.”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
Stop at Silveira to choose something for the house; stock changes.
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 housesConfirm the day and opening time before heading for cocktails.
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
Close the day at Cruo. Reserve and choose from the current menu.
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
