I
n July, celebrated chef Rui Silvestre opened the revamped Vistas restaurant at the Monte Rei Golf & Country Club. Tis fine-dining venue, which already has one Michelin star, is home to celebrated contemporary Mediterranean cuisine with a modern and exotic twist. “Seafood is a big part of what I cook,” says Silvestre. “We are in the heart of
the Algarve, 10 minutes from the sea, so we serve lobster, clams, mussels – everything the sea has to offer us. I marry that with my own cultural expression. My family is a melting pot of cultures. My grandmother is from India, my mother from Mozambique, and I balance those influences with local cuisine.” Silvestre has retained his Michelin star for the
third consecutive year, contributing to establishing the eastern Algarve as a destination for gastronomy lovers, and with his newly revamped kitchen he may well soon have another. Tat would be in keeping with the exclusive and high-quality reputation of the venue, which caters to a very select clientele. “It is a very different kind of resort, with luxury
villas that are owned or rented, and you can only enter the restaurant if you are a member or resident at the club,” remarks Ricardo Martins, group CEO at design company NX Hotelaria. “Te restaurant itself has a huge balcony and a magnificent view, with the glass walls giving a view of the sunset over the golf course, the forest and, on the horizon, the sea. It is very beautiful."
Exclusive cooking space Te kitchen, which previously catered for three restaurants on-site, has now been redesigned with an exclusive cooking space just for the Vistas restaurant. Te new open kitchen for this restaurant, which features all-new equipment, had to match the needs of the chef in terms of both aesthetics and functionality. For this, Ricardo turned to equipment manufacturer Rosinox, knowing that it could deliver on both fronts. “We specialize in creating new concepts for
kitchens and we knew Rosinox shared our vision for creating new solutions,” says Ricardo. “Chef Silvestre wanted a kitchen that followed his vision
