Austa is a restaurant, coffee shop, and community space located in Almancil, Algarve, Southern Portugal. Founded by Emma and David Campus in August 2023, it focuses on honest, sustainable, and seasonal eating and drinking, inspired by the region's resources. The space, designed by Studio Gameiro, combines modern and minimal aesthetics with local craftsmanship and tradition. Austa prioritizes low-intervention practices and highlights small, independent producers from the Atlantic and Andalusian coasts, celebrating their seasonal products and stories. Led by head chef David Barata, the kitchen offers simple, authentic dishes that emphasize the origin and quality of ingredients. The name "Austa" comes from the Latin word for "south wind," symbolizing change and fresh ideas.

It's not easy to try new restaurants in Algarve when the best cooks are in your family. This time, it was important for us to spend some time with my family and therefore, we did not have that much spare time to try out new restaurants. However, we managed to book a table at Morgado do Quintão. The estate itself is on our wishlist for a stay one day.

I love to share with you projects that share the same vision as we do about toursim and what really means “sustainable”. Therefore, I’m very happy to present to you our newest find from Algarve: Algarve Food Experience. The company focuses on local gastronomy and traditions. Algarve Food Expereinces invites you on an inspirational journey through true flavors and traditions from Algarve.
