Austa
Almancil, Portugal
Austa brings a relaxed, contemporary approach to Almancil, with a garden setting and interiors that draw on local materials and craft. The menu changes with the produce available from small suppliers and the restaurant’s own growing space, encouraging plates to be shared. This is our choice for a generous, informal meal with a clear ingredient-led identity. It provides a useful change of pace from the Algarve’s more ceremonial tasting-menu restaurants without sacrificing care or character.
