The Restaurant
Perched within a meticulously restored 17th-century fortress in Cascais, Fortaleza do Guincho offers a dining experience steeped in history and framed by the dramatic Parque Natural de Sintra-Cascais. The hotel, a Relais & Châteaux property, enhances the setting with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of mainland Europe. Chef Gil Fernandes helms the elegant restaurant, where his tasting menu showcases a dedication to locally sourced ingredients and innovative dishes inspired by the sea. Fortaleza do Guincho currently holds one Michelin star, a testament to its high-quality cooking. The restaurant reopened recently after renovations, offering inviting areas to savor the sunset, making it a destination where culinary excellence meets breathtaking natural beauty.
