DINING:
Anantara is renowned for its dedication to culinary excellence, and the dining options at Vilamoura are no exception, offering an impressive array of flavors within the resort. Breakfast is served in the Victoria Restaurant, featuring an extensive buffet with multiple stations. Guests can enjoy made-to-order eggs, hot dishes, cheeses, freshly baked bread and pastries, yogurts, and a selection of fruits. Freshly squeezed orange juice and coffee are served at the table, with a dedicated breakfast section for children, overflowing with fresh fruits, pastries, and various sweet treats.
The RIA Restaurant, which welcomes families, specializes in fresh seafood sourced from the Algarve coast and the Ria Formosa area. Guests can savor the catch of the day served poolside for both lunch and dinner. Dishes are presented on exquisite traditional blue and white ceramic plates, while the placemats and menus crafted from cork enhance the authentic Portuguese ambiance. For lunch, patrons can indulge in a variety of delectable shared dishes, including Algarvian octopus salad, crispy calamari, and local clams. Those fortunate enough may also enjoy a fresh Turbot, cooked to perfection.
Sensai, an upscale Asian fusion restaurant located on the first floor, traditionally allows guests to experience authentic Japanese cuisine. However, this summer, it will transition into a Thai buffet. In the interim, the renowned Omakase sushi selection, crafted by Chef Fabio Terada, will be available at the Anantara Lounge and Bar. Notably, the Gunkan Maki and Makizushi stand out, especially the tuna and quail egg combination, which is truly exceptional.
