The Scene
Ocean Restaurant is a mix of intimacy and vastness. Intimate in that the dining room accommodates just over 30 diners. This guarantees that each guest enjoys truly individual service and ensures that the highest parameters of fine dining are maintained. Vastness, in the amazing and immersive ocean views and huge horizon that enfold diners as they enter the restaurant.
The glorious cuisine at Ocean Restaurant is frequently inspired by the ocean, and the decor and views enhance this even more. The decor emanates an ocean deep ambience that is as entrancing as it is relaxing. The restaurant overlooks the VILA VITA gardens and the view sweeps down to the coastline and majestic Atlantic. The ambience is calm, elegant and relaxed, and is the perfect background for a memorable experience. The wonderful food is perfectly complemented by the extensive and impressive wine list. The staff are happy to offer recommendations and wine pairing for each course.

Ocean Restaurant is just one of Vila Vita Parc's excellent restaurants. For the best in portuguese cuisine we suggest the Adega Restaurant and for wonderful beachside dining it's hard to beat the Arte Náutica beach restaurant, Praia Dourada and NANA on the Beach. And for something quite different, visit the Vila Vita Biergarten for a true Bavarian evening.
