The extraordinary fusion Portuguese dishes served here are the concoctions of two-Michelin-star chef Dieter Koschina. A stone's throw from the ocean and surrounded by greenery, the dishes are inspired by these very surrounds. Choose the Signature Menu, for a four-course tasting experience. Though reservations are required, call in the morning for last-minute openings.
Expect culinary precision at this Michelin-starred restaurant headed by André Cruz, who honed his craft in Portugal and South America. There’s no à la carte menu; instead, diners choose from traditional or vegetarian Semente tasting menus offered in two formats—Roots (which lets the ingredients take center stage), and the more elaborate Leaf.
Owned by Portuguese actor Lourenço Ortigão and his brother Tomás, Villa Saboia is a stylish space for sushi and light Mediterranean meals. Fish and seafood takes the starring role, cropping up on the "Mediterranean Menu" in dishes like octopus carpaccio and truffle risotto, as well as in the beautifully presented sashimi and sushi. The upstairs dining room has plenty of designer flair, while the leafy terrace is a great spot for people watching on a sunny afternoon or balmy evening.
