Bon bon has a Michelin star, and now I know why... What divinely good food!

Chef Jose Lopes is a cooking artist

I often find a (9 course) tasting menu too much. Because everything looks alike. But here, every course is different. Own flavours, colours and structures.

Saturday, Sunday and Monday also lunch!

Bon bon is between Carvoeiro, Lagoa and Ferragudo, and the property doesn't look particularly nice. The restaurant is round, and (therefore) lacks some cosiness. That could be better. But once the food is on the table, you don't pay attention to it anymore. What a delight!

Nunu Diogo

And owner Nunu Diogo is a hospitality artist and wine artist. He knows everything about wines and likes to talk about them. From his large wine cabinet, he conjures up the most delicious wines. His international guests enjoy his stories! 🌟 Owner Nuno Diogo, a master host and wine expert, has trained many Michelin chefs in the Algarve.

Together with his 2 assistants, Touweny (Brazilian) and Pedro (Portuguese) he provides a wonderful evening. His passion is to make people feel comfortable, and he can do that like no other.

Tasting Menu Bon Bon

Bonbon has a beautiful tasting menu, 6 moments (135 euro) or 9 moments (155 euro). You can choose regular, vegetarian or vegan. (Indicate this in advance when you book)

Chef Jose

The chef is great, and afterwards comes to ask how it was, which dish I liked best, and which dish I liked least.. I can't choose .. And I can't answer his follow-up question either. Which dish would you leave out if you had to skip 1. Perhaps the 2nd dessert. For me, 1 dessert is enough, but that is of course personal.

Vegan menu

Jose cooks just as well with or without meat. A gift that not every cook has. Perhaps his young generation is more open to it than the old cooks, who have prepared only fish and meat all their lives, and are afraid of the new challenges of the present time.

Wine arrangement Bon Bon

A matching wine arrangement is highly recommended. 85/95 euros pp.

Besides all the words of praise, a few comments. I think 6 or 9 moments is enough, so I wouldn't also serve amuse-bouches. That's just getting too much.. I would like to have bread on the table, with which you can scarpet to get the last delicious flavors and sauces out of your plate. Mmmm!

Nothing but praise. Warmly recommended. Bonbon is definitely one of the best restaurants in the Algarve!
