Sensai opened on July 21st with a unique concept of fusing exotic flavours from Asia and traditional Portuguese gastronomy

A mix of Chinese, Japanese, Indian and Thai recipes combined with fresh Portuguese ingredients and national culinary practices promise to offer visitors an unforgettable journey of flavours and sensations in an outstanding scenery.

The brand new concept aims to pay tribute to the Portuguese sailing history during the Age of Discoveries.

Sensai features a carefully selected menu by chef Bruno Viegas and his multinational team, which also includes Portuguese-Japanese chef Fábio Terada. The menu will have a diverse variety of sushi to choose from, which stands out for the Algarve’s fish quality and variety.
