VILA VITA Biergarten

The Vila Vita Biergarten is a little taste of Bavaria in the Algarve. Tall glasses of Erdinger beer, home-made sausage, schnitzel and strudel. Prost!

Vila Vita Parc, one of the Algarve’s most prestigious and luxurious resorts recently opened a typical beer garden near the village of Porches. Long wooden tables and benches, large wooden kegs, colourful wall murals depicting Bavarian scenes and even a May pole complete the illusion of a true Bavarian Biergarten.

It’s not all illusion though. The beer is the excellent Erdinger beer from the world famous brewery. And the menu features authentic German dishes such as schnitzel, pretzel, potato salad and apple strudel. Special mention for the great variety of home-made German sausages made by Vila Vita Parc’s own butcher Thomas Weber, and for the excellent pork and beef that comes from the resort’s Alentejo estate.

The Vila Vita Biergarten is spacious inside and out. It is ideal for groups and celebrations, or simply for an early evening beer. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. There is even a small children’s park to entertain the juniors.

Next to the Biergarten you can find Thomas Weber’s new butcher shop or Metzgerei. Once a very well kept secret, the word is now out that this is the place to find quality meat as well as traditional, home-made German sausages and delicatessen fare. You can also buy some of the excellent wines produced on Vila Vita's Herdade dos Grous estate.

The Biergarten is just one of Vila Vita Parc's excellent restaurants. For gourmet dining visit the Michelin starred Ocean Restaurant. For the best in portuguese cuisine we suggest the Adega Restaurant and for wonderful beachside dining it's hard to beat the Arte Nautico beach restaurant.
