Gastronomic restaurant with one Michelin star

The gastronomic restaurant Fortaleza do Guincho holds one star in the Michelin Guide. Its cuisine began with a classic base and has increasingly incorporated Portuguese products and traditions. The property's culinary philosophy is inspired by the Atlantic, which forms the backdrop of the hotel.

Executive Chef Gil Fernandes leads this gastronomic proposal, presented by the hotel as an experience based on Portuguese culinary heritage.

Spot, the informal option
