Palácio Príncipe Real Hotel Review | Hotels Above Par

"Named for the ecological Extra Virgin Olive Oil the owners produce on their farm in Spain—a deliciously nutty feature of most dishes—this on-site restaurant serves from 8am to 10:30pm and deepens the feeling that you’re staying at the home of a dear friend. After an expertly made cocktail in the snug environs of the bar, the mainly plant-based menu reads modern-Mediterranean with the occasional exotic twist inspired by the owners’ globetrotting, so quinoa Mediterranean salad and roasted halloumi sit alongside a fusion salad of black rice, edamame beans, pickled cucumber, baby tomatoes, tofu, and Ponzu sauce. Everything is made from scratch with locally sourced ingredients, and the Pastéis de Bacalhau (Portuguese salt cod fritters) are so delicious it’s hard not to re-order them." - Simon Kurs
