Pimenta Preta

Pimenta Preta Overview

The Algarve has much to recommend it. Pimenta Preta restaurant near Carvoeiro, is one more point in its favour. The quality of the food, its preparation and presentation is impeccable, resulting in a dining experience not to be forgotten. The restaurant enjoys a tranquil location, with a pleasant indoor dining room and a lovely sunny terrace overlooking the swimming pool and gardens of the Pestana Palm Gardens Resort

Just a short distance from the centre of Carvoeiro, the restaurant has a lovely warm and welcoming décor. The wooden bar is perfect for a pre or post dinner drink, or just to while away some time. A local artists’ works decorate the walls and the log burning fire keeps any winter chill at bay. In the summer the terrace opens out onto the gardens and pool area to create a lovely al fresco dining area.

At Pimenta Preta you can enjoy gourmet Mediterranean cuisine, beautifully presented and served by the friendly yet highly professional staff. The restaurant is a new Nuno Diogo joint venture with Tito Correia - the same team responsible for A Colina – another fantastic restaurant just outside Carvoeiro. They bring the same passion for quality in food and service to Pimenta Preta along with their wonderful hospitality. They manage to provide an excellent gourmet experience while making you feel totally at home.

Following the best traditions of fine dining the restaurant uses the finest local and seasonal produce. The menu is changed according to the seasons and the wine list is representative of all the Portuguese regions. The à la carte menu includes a lovely Fillet of John Dory on a bed of pumpkin Risotto, Sea Bass with an almond and ginger crust, Rack of Lamb topped with a pistachio sauce, and excellent steaks with a selection of sauces, including chocolate sauce. Aside from the à la carte menu, Pimenta Preta also offers tasting menus – a gourmet’s dream come true.

Carvoeiro is an easy journey from Portimão, Alvor or Albufeira. And believe us, it is worth the journey to visit Pimenta Preta.

If A Colina and Pimenta Preta appeal to you, then take note. Towards the end of 2009 this same team will be opening their third venture – Pimenta Rosa .

Fantastic food and staff.
Niamh and Darren from Cork, Ireland.
The food is 5 star, the service is 5 star. A very tasty and varied menu which catered for my fussy taste. Great wine list too. The waiters and Nuno were happy to educate us about why we should choose certain wines etc. It was a special evening of dining and wine. When we come back to Carvoeiro it is our first port of call.
