Atlantico is beautifully situated on the Vila vita estate (54 ha), the hotel for the rich and famous, such as Anastacia, Fay Ripley, Luis Figo, Sergio Ramos and Max Verstappen. Vila Vitaparc is part of the Leading Hotels Of The World group.
From the reception you walk through the tropical gardens towards the Atlantic Ocean to reach restaurant Atlantico. Or you take the buggy, which will take you to the entrance of Atlantico.
Nice people work at Atlantico who clearly enjoy working. Dear people, like Yolanda, Joao, Hugo, Jimmy, Rafael, and the others! That cheerful, enthusiastic amateurism (in the literal sense of the word: enthusiast), less stiff than at the other 8 restaurants of Vila Vitaparc.
It is immediately noticeable that they take hospitality and quality seriously here. You will receive a friendly welcome and from that moment on you will be pampered.
In many top stores you are shocked when the bill is brought. That is why we are so happy to eat in a top restaurant again where we feel that the ratio is in balance. Here you can enjoy a nice dinner for a good price.
Starters from 4.50 euros, main courses from 21 euros. This is Michelin level food, for the price of an “ordinary” restaurant!
Everything is freshly prepared by the kitchen team, and all ingredients are organic and local. This applies to wine, fish and vegetables. What a great concept. Chef Joao Viegas (1988, Faro) used to work for Michelin star restaurants, and now has his own organic-and-local concept here. Atlantico does not yet have a Michelin star, but it will certainly come!
In addition to the a la carte options, there is a delicious and complete 5-course tasting menu, for 95 euros. That is a lot cheaper than at the "sister" Ocean, where you pay 255 euros for a tasting menu.
The restaurant's decor is stylish and chic, copper and azul. Luxurious, but certainly not boring. And in the background beautiful piano music.
But the most beautiful thing is actually the terrace with a view of the Atlantic Ocean and the tropical garden (54 hectares), where you can dine on warm summer evenings...
This is followed by 7 delicious dishes, accompanied by a delicious cool wine from Silves. Enjoy an evening!
This is a restaurant I enjoy returning to. I'm already looking forward to next time. Highly recommended!
