Sportalm's Secret Tips

Directly on the Algarve coast, in the exclusive Ocean Restaurant at Vila Vita Parc, the Tyrolean-born two-Michelin-star chef Hans Neuner interprets Portuguese cuisine in his very own way – regionally influenced yet cosmopolitan. His creations tell of travels, aromas, and a fine sense for extraordinary combinations. Since 2007, he has passionately shaped Portugal's fine-dining scene with innovation.

In Comporta itself lies a true insider tip: the Simone Bakery. Here, master baker Jean Jacob combines French baking tradition with Portuguese lightness. Artfully flaky croissants, crispy baguettes, and the best regional ingredients make this place a culinary highlight – relaxed, authentic, and full of flavor.
