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.

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.
