FORNARIA Restaurant

At the heart of memmo Baleeira lies Fornaria, our restaurant where everything revolves around the warmth of our wood-fired oven.
Fornaria is a space for relaxed, unhurried dining, where local ingredients take centre stage and every meal is an opportunity to slow down and reconnect with food, with people, with the view. It’s where Mediterranean simplicity meets the region’s soul, bringing to life comforting dishes inspired by Algarve culinary traditions.
Discover a menu that celebrates the fresh, bold flavours of the Atlantic. Here, the day’s catch becomes a canvas for creativity, and every dish tells the story of the region from sea to plate. Dine indoors or al fresco with panoramic ocean views and let time slip quietly by as the sun melts into the sea.

Stories from our guests

"The on site restaurant had the best food I ate in my 10 days in Portugal, highlighted by their brick oven pizzas. They also make a terrific risotto, and the more traditionally inspired Portuguese food is very good if that's your thing. The setting of the restaurant is also quite beautiful -- overlooking the water (you can sit in or out). The outdoor pool was fantastic -- lots of lounge chairs, a beautiful outdoor bar, and a big pool."
