There are few places where we can enjoy fresh fish and seafood, among other genuinely Algarve specialties, with a deserted island and the ocean as a backdrop. Estaminé is the only restaurant on the Ilha Deserta and has the perfect conditions for a memorable meal. This is not just a restaurant, it is also a central hub for solar energy production and water treatment that supplies the building and ensures the energy sustainability of the entire infrastructure. At Estaminé, you will find all the comfort, quality, and landscape that Ria and the sea offer, combined with traditional and excellent regional cuisine.
We have been collecting flavors, aromas, and textures that we inherited from our parents, grandparents, and friends, based on the resources that the sea and the Ria Formosa offer us. Because sharing is an important element, this is how we present our specialties, in order to promote conversation and socializing at the table. All our dishes are prepared on the spot. Relax and enjoy the natural surroundings of the Desert Island.
To produce energy, we invest in a photovoltaic plant that covers our needs in their entirety. The water that arrives at your table today is captured directly from the sea, from the “backyard” that surrounds us, and is then subjected to a process of desalination and purification by reverse osmosis.
