The living room, nobly decorated, has big tables, a fireplace for the winter and a balcony facing the ocean, creating a romantic and fanciful atmosphere.

The wine list is certainly a paradise for oenophiles, not only the Portuguese but also of the four corners …

The à la carte dishes are a good option for the less curious and, despite the magnificent preparation, they show only a very small part of the mastery of the kitchen.

The Midori restaurant continues to be one of the leading Japanese restaurants in Portugal. It has modernized, bet on several menus, but always with a quality seal far above average, excellent in many options. Interesting merger proposals can be a good approach. The restaurant was created in honor of four Japanese princes who visited Penha Longa in the sixteenth century, and in order not to detract from Japanese cuisine, all chefs come from or receive training in Japan.

At the Pedro Lemos restaurant, gastronomy takes on new approaches, always with a focus on traditional haute cuisine that marks the chef's work.
