MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View
It offers great comfort and surprises by virtue of its location in the heart of the Alentejo countryside, in the splendid, modern hotel L’AND Vineyards Relais & Châteaux. Chef David Jesus, who decided to take on this project after stints at major establishments such as the two-Michelin-starred Belcanto (Lisbon), champions a creative cuisine with traditional foundations, drawing on his personal experiences and memories. His offering, mostly enjoyed by the hotel’s guests, is presented in an à la carte format and through two tasting menus: Alentejo (focused on the surroundings and local traditions) and Caminhos (“Paths”), which draws on the chef’s experiences of Portuguese travels and the flavours of its former colonies. A standout dish? We loved the red mullet from Setúbal, which combines the typical Algarve-style cornmeal porridge (xerém), Brazilian moqueca, and the wonderful red mullet that is a hit throughout the country.
