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.
