Algarve Farm-to-Table on Fire

Watch your dinner cooked over open wood embers

Five kilometres from Silves, on one of the oldest farms in the Algarve, an open wood fire becomes the centrepiece of a 4-hour dinner experience. The menu is built daily from whatever the organic garden is producing — seasonal vegetables, herbs, and fruits, 100% grown on site — and cooked live over wood embers in a show cooking format, so guests watch the meal take shape in real time. Ninety percent vegetarian, entirely organic, and entirely different from what you’ll find on any restaurant terrace in the Algarve. Local wine is paired throughout, and the farm’s garden provides a safe, visible play space for children. Starts at sunset. Very limited tables — advance booking essential.

What is included

  • Additional seasonal dishes depending on the garden’s harvest
• Local Algarve wine pairing throughout the dinner
• Access to the farm’s family garden with children’s play area (trampoline, playhouse, sandpit, swings, slides, mini football field, and basketball hoop)

Highlights

Live Fire, Garden to Plate. The open wood fire is the theatre — guests watch every dish cooked in real time over wood embers, with ingredients that were in the ground earlier that day. This is show cooking at its most honest.

90% Vegetarian, 100% Organic. The menu is built around what the farm’s organic garden is producing, not around a fixed recipe card — meaning every visit is genuinely different, and genuinely seasonal.

Peixinhos da Horta Over the Fire. One of Portugal’s most beloved dishes — crispy vegetable tempura, traditionally called “little fish from the garden” — cooked over open flames and served hot from the fire. A crowd favourite every time.

Sunset in the Algarve Hills. The experience runs from late afternoon into the evening, finishing under a darkening Algarve sky — one of the most naturally beautiful dining settings in the region.

Family-Designed. The farm’s garden includes a full children’s play area directly in view of the dining tables — trampoline, playhouse, sandpit, slides, swings, mini football field, and basketball hoop — so parents can enjoy dinner with complete peace of mind.
