The Chaine des Rôtisseurs’ hidden gem: Restaurant Vivendo, Meia Praia, Lagos

 “Vivendo”, the gourmet restaurant at Vila Palmeira on the beach of Meia Praia is the sort of hidden gem you would confidentially recommend only to your friends… The Swiss owners Karin and Vincent Winiker are long-standing members of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, and their restaurant under the supervision of chef Christoph Voigt, is without doubt one of the best in the Algarve.

 On Friday September 15^th, some 32 members of the Chaine des Rôtisseurs and their guests were treated on arrival to a Peach punch served with an appetizer of prawn tempura. The lunch itself consisted of a Consommé of lime leaves with scallops and mushrooms, a spice coated tuna fish served with saffron foam, a duck breast served pink on apple and shi-take mushrooms, and to finish, an iced raspberry tartlet with marinated wild berries. This superb menu was accompanied by a white Dona Maria from the Alentejo and a red Vallado from the Douro region, both carefully chosen by the Chaîne’s Echanson Rod Frew to compliment the meal. Coffee, friandises and a tawny Port ended the feast. The service was faultless from beginning to end, as always. Another perfect success for Christoph Voigt and his brigade!
