Finally got around to trying out the Pension Bellavista after all the recommendations and so glad we did, you have to try this restaurant it is now our favorite in the port. If you are a fan of hippy chic, if you like it when all the chairs don’t match and there are soft seating areas and hammocks in the trees you will love this place. It is set next to the Pension in the beautiful gardens amongst the colourful flowers and trees, shaded by the fig and fruit trees, it is a calm oasis in the bustle of the port. There are big soft cushions and rugs to sit on and a large chill out area in the sun, and they play chill out music, jazz and world music.


It was lunch time and we were the only ones there, in fact we could have been the only ones in the port, it was so peaceful and with a bottle of local wine and a few beers we could have sat there all afternoon. The vegetarian menu is a delight with so many lovely dishes to choose from, the food is fresh and tasted divine, it is of a very high quality and even if you are not veggies you will find wholesome delicious food to try. I plumped for vegetable humus to start and a vegetable stir fry with bean sprouts, toasted hazel and almonds, beautiful tasty well presented food. Wife had spinach rolls with a red pepper coulee.


We were stuffed but there were lots of homemade desserts to try as well as a full range of sandwiches, starters and mains as well as smoothes shakes and cocktails. I imagine it is very busy in the evenings and with only a limited number of tables it would be worth booking if you are going. So straight to the top of our favourite 5 in the port, a wonderful find and we will be retuning next time for sure.
