Sustainable Menu at Numa Restaurant

Appetizers and Bread Service
Our dinner began with a delicious amuse-bouche, so flavorful that our son Elyas wanted to order more. Next, we received the bread service, consisting of homemade bread, olive oil from Monchique, and the tastiest olive tapenade we have ever tasted. Elyas also enjoyed delicious gluten-free bread. It's great when restaurants also consider guests with a gluten allergy!

Starters
Elyas enjoyed a flavorful soup as a starter, while we savored a savory pie with lime foam.

Main Courses
For the main course, we chose a sweet potato stew, while Elyas enjoyed a delicious pumpkin terrine. All dishes are seasonal and prepared with local products, as Nuno personally explains. This not only ensures fantastic taste but also a sustainable kitchen with a zero waste policy. 🍀
