Review

Located in the heart of Estremoz, in northern Portugal, this property is a real work of art. The castle is the result of the restoration of the stunning palace built by King Dom Dinis for his wife, Queen Isabel. Guests will find Lisbon International Airport a 90-minute drive from the property. Local tourist attractions include the Évoramonte Castle, situated some 17 kilometres away. Nowadays this property is still a landmark in the region, with its 18th century style and magnificent furnishing that honour trends from that time period. Boasting panoramic views over the city, this luxury hotel offers a choice of guest rooms featuring a classic décor with ancient tapestries. The Royal Suite includes a wooden canopy with the royal coat of arms of Portugal and Spain as well as a number of modern amenities for guest's convenience. The on-site restaurant serves gourmet cuisine based on the rich, diverse gastronomic traditions of the country.

EED

Modern Cuisine, French Contemporary · ★ Michelin

€€€€

EED is the epitome of minimalist. Philippe Heylen strips his dishes to retain only the most essential ingredients, so don’t expect fussy frills or superfluous fillers. The spotlight is on the quality of the produce and the veggie side dishes are as important as the main ingredient. Chef Heylen gets right down to business with lashings of originality. He manages to surprise us with familiar flavours, like a rib steak that is paired with Asian notes of sesame and caramelised honey. Or how about a yellow beetroot, coated in earthy tonburi, a sweet mango jelly and a kimchi of hispi cabbage? A subt

Chef Abel Demeestere and Laurence De Smet in charge of the front of house have chosen to write a chapter of their own in the illustrious story of the Arenberg house, whilst respecting its timeless traditions. The former Jesuit farmstead overlooking a garden and appointed in works of art is both smart and contemporary.

Couvert Couvert is the ambitious story of Folmer and Folmer. Brothers Laurent and Vincent greet guests in a softly lit, airy venue of Scandinavian inspiration. The interior is stylish, the terrace peaceful and the service attentive, however the singularity of this restaurant resides in the brothers’ highly individual creative streak. Together they perform a culinary show of cutting-edge precision and strewn with daring.

Pick out a bottle from the wine shop, take a seat in the pleasant bistro-lounge and get ready to soak up the communicative enthusiasm of Convento. The sommeliers get a real kick out of explaining the wines, hence the low corkage fee. The straightforward, market-fresh menu is perfectly matched to the establishment’s stripped-back concept and stars a fine selection of veggies and authentic flavours.
