àCosta, located at the Domes Lake Algarve, Autograph Collection , at Falésia Beach, and is an extension of the Lisbon brand, with some nuances, thought out by the creative mind of chefpreneur Olivier da Costa.? The sea is one of the protagonists of the diverse menu, and fish and seafood are the stars, combined with traditional recipes inspired by Portuguese roots, and softly punctuated by international cuisine influences. Some of these gastronomic traits are already a part of the Olivier Group’s identity, currently with a huge footprint across borders.?

Flavor, quality and irreverence are the main features of àCosta Algarve. Designed for moments of sharing among friends, for family lunches and dinners, or for watching the sunset, àCosta Algarve was born, like its Lisbon brother, for those looking to have a meal while looking at the ocean, in this case at one of the most iconic beaches in Algarve. The decor brings out the colors and elements of the beach, with the light wood reminding of sand and the terrace awning bringing out the sea’s blues and greens.?

In this national soul concept, that Olivier wished to create a long time ago, you’ll find signature dishes such as àCosta Eggs, with shrimp tartar and shoestring potatoes; àCosta Squid, with butter, lemon and garlic sauce, and capers; àCosta Rice, with saffron, chicken, squid, shrimp and monkfish, or even the Marie Louise Chocolate Mousse, a tribute to the chef's French grandmother.
