As soon as you cross the threshold of the FRANQ Hotel’s lavish lobby dripping in marble, the unostentatious luxury of this posh townhouse cannot fail but impress. Tropical artwork adds a quirky edge to the restaurant, while the secluded terrace provides a welcome break from the bustling city. Chef Tim Meuleneire can be seen weaving his culinary magic in the open kitchen, conjuring up avant-garde yet classical fare that is beautifully plated and eminently drool worthy… An attention to detail and high-flying craftsmanship depict his style, together with a frequent scattering of international notes. Meuleneire is also renowned for his fabulous sauces, exemplified by the Albufeira sauce that flanks pheasant.
