Fortaleza do Guincho

"In the heart of the Parque Natural de Sintra-Cascais, this 17C fortification, now converted into a hotel, recalls its military past thanks to the two large cannons at the entrance. The setting is enhanced by the views of the ocean and of Cabo da Rocha, the most westerly point on mainland Europe.In the elegant panoramic restaurant, chef Gil Fernandes offers à la carte options and two set menus (Memórias: Degustação and Experiência) that showcase the property’s maritime inspiration through his reinterpretation of innovative dishes that have a strong focus on aesthetics and locally sourced ingredients. Head here in good time for dinner, as it’s very pleasant watching dusk fall from the tables by the windows... and there’s only enough space for early birds!" - Michelin Inspector
