Restaurant Critic – Numa Restaurant

A Michelin Gem in Portimão, # 8 in the Top 250 Best Restaurants Algarve 2024

Numa Restaurant is a modern Portuguese restaurant in Portimão that opened two years ago. It is the realisation of a culinary dream for chef and owner Nuno Martins, who trained in the best Michelin restaurants in the Algarve, such as BonBon and the five-star resort Vila Vita Parc. The restaurant is already on the Michelin list, the precursor to earning a real Michelin star.

Ambience and Atmosphere 

Upon entering, you are welcomed into a beautifully decorated space. The semi-open kitchen gives you a unique insight into the chef’s passion and hard work. The intimate and modern interior creates a cosy and relaxed atmosphere. Chef Nuno and his wife Manuela João together provide a warm welcome, with Nuno regularly coming to the table to explain the dishes.

Sustainable Menu at Numa Restaurant

Appetizers and Bread Service
Our dinner began with a delicious amuse-bouche, so flavorful that our son Elyas wanted to order more. Next, we received the bread service, consisting of homemade bread, olive oil from Monchique, and the tastiest olive tapenade we have ever eaten. Elyas also enjoyed delicious gluten-free bread. 

Starters
Elyas enjoyed a flavorful soup as a starter, while we savoured a savoury pie with lime foam.

Main Courses
For the main course, we chose sweet potato stew, while Elyas enjoyed a delicious pumpkin terrine. As Nuno personally explains, all dishes are seasonal and prepared with local products. This not only ensures fantastic taste but also a sustainable kitchen with a zero-waste policy. 

Vegetarian and Vegan at Michelin Level
Numa offers various vegetarian and vegan dishes on the à la carte menu, in addition to fish and meat, from just €21. Very modest prices for such divine dishes!

Fine Dining Tasting Menu
For true gourmets, there is an eight-course tasting menu available for only €79. This menu offers a selection of fish, meat, or vegan dishes, all at a Michelin-worthy level. 

Michelin Quality at Affordable Prices

Dining at Numa means enjoying Michelin-star-level dishes but at a third of the price. This makes the restaurant an affordable luxury for anyone who wants to enjoy the finest flavours of fine dining the Algarve has to offer.

Opening Hours 

Numa Restaurant is open for dinner Monday through Saturday from 7 pm to 10.30 pm. It is closed on Sunday. 

Bon appétit!
