GASTRONOMY

Dining at Palácio de Tavira is an invitation to savour the simplest of pleasures—the ones born of time, of origin, of slow fire. At Mirsal, the kitchen moves to the gentle rhythm of the seasons and draws from the open spirit of the Mediterranean, where flavours from nearby lands and distant shores intertwine with natural ease.Here, ingredients take the lead: sun-warmed tomatoes, golden olive oil, herbs that perfume the air, freshly caught fish and seafood from Tavira’s shimmering waters. Each dish is a considered gesture—a story told slowly and made for sharing, beneath the citrus trees at midday or under a sky that deepens to indigo come evening.

Chef Fábio Domingues brings a creative and respectful approach to local flavors, combining contemporary techniques with seasonal, high-quality ingredients. Each dish is crafted to offer an authentic, balanced, and memorable experience. After working in some of Europe’s top restaurants, Chef Fábio returns to his hometown to share unique culinary moments and celebrate the richness of local tradition.
