Our food

Our menus at Volta do Mar showcase the delicious regional cuisine of Portugal and celebrate the international culinary confluences from its trading past. We cook Portuguese classics and dishes from the countries and places along its former trade routes, touching on Brazil, Cape Verde, Angola, Mozambique, Goa, Macau and Japan.  We want to celebrate the diversity and interconnection of Portuguese food and culture across the globe.

OUR STORY

Volta do Mar is the culmination of a journey of discovery my wife Isabel and I made over many years.  We traced our family-history through food and travel, learning how people and culture integrated and inter-married across continents, over distant seas.  What we discovered on that journey was an idea, that later became our restaurant - Volta do Mar – meaning; to return from the sea.

Whether your occasion is a business lunch, romantic dinner date, large and loud friends reunion, or a late afternoon bite after shopping and a show with the kids, we want you to feel completely relaxed and at home. We can accommodate party sizes from 8 to 50 and have several areas within the townhouse that can be fantastic private entertainment spaces.
