Árbore da Veira

Located closed to the emblematic artillery batteries that once protected the estuary, this restaurant on top of Monte de San Pedro will delight guests with its panoramic setting, with tables in the dining room offering views of both the city and the expanse of the ocean. It boasts several rooms for private events, lots of light, large bare tables, innovative tableware, and surprising culinary combinations, including impeccable cream sauces. In his own words, the cuisine of chef Luis Veira, a proud native of the city, “focuses the five senses firmly on the Atlantic”. This is reflected in a constant play of flavours and ingredients (he particularly enjoys combining those from the sea and mountains) that he showcases in an updated take on traditional cuisine on his à la carte and three enticing tasting menus: Semente, Raíces and Árbore. A fun option that particularly attracted our attention was “the cherry that fell from the tree”, an attractive dish comprising basil, foie gras and cherry gelatine.
