Arola

Another visit to the amazing and gorgeous Penha Longa Resort and this time to eat at Arola. This restaurant is one of the three restaurants that this resort has, along with Il Mercato e Midori (check the post about this one).

It is the only one outside the main building, the most modern too and best known for his wine cellar, vodka bar and menu by Sergi Arola (Michelin Star Chef).

The Menu was design by Sergi Arola but the food is made by Chef Milton Anes... and what a great work that he and his team do.

As usual the choice was the tasting Menu and it was an amazing experience... the food is delicious, the space perfect... everything spot on... and by the way! the restaurant has an open kitchen! always a plus.

So lets talk about this outstanding menu, shall we... 

Midori

After my dinner at Midori restaurant… The first thing that comes to my mind is the BEST SUSHI OF MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!!

This restaurant is located in one of the most beautiful hotels of Portugal…The Penha Longa Resort, located in the middle of the amazing “Serra de Sintra”.

The restaurant has a very simple decoration, very minimalist but very classy and has an amazing view over the mountains and the Sintra forest.

Since it is a five-star hotel the service was exquisite. The staff was very nice and very friendly… and most important they make us feel welcomed, which is key factor when you eat in a hotel.

So about the food…
