Located in a historic villa perched on a cliff in Portimão, this restaurant offers not only exceptional food but also an atmosphere that perfectly blends luxury and intimacy.
Exclusive and intimate
The restaurant is housed in a beautiful villa that was originally built as the private residence of António Júdice de Magalhães Barros. In 1918, it was officially inaugurated in the presence of Portugal’s then-president, Sidónio Pais. In 1934, the house was converted into a hotel – making Bela Vista the very first hotel in the Algarve! Over the years, additional buildings and a swimming pool were added. Today, the hotel features 38 rooms and suites with ocean views (€600–€1,200 per night) and boasts an exclusive 400m² L’Occitane Spa, which is also open to non-hotel guests.
There are only ten tables in the restaurant, and just ten more on the terrace, making Vista the perfect setting for a romantic evening or a special occasion. The beautiful cocktail bar and the elegant lounge with a fireplace create a warm and homely atmosphere.
Personal kitchen and wine cellar tour
Your experience begins with a personal tour of the kitchen, where you’ll meet Chef João Oliveira and his team. Then, you’ll explore the impressive wine cellar, home to over 800 wines from around the world. The chef personally serves the first amuse-bouches in the wine cellar. All ingredients are organic and locally sourced. This extra touch makes the evening even more special!
