A Culinary Tribute to Melides

Let yourself be guided by the flavours of the Alentejo coast. From May 23rd to 25th, Xtian invites you to a special three-day celebration where the tides meet tradition in a single, unforgettable dish: arroz carolino with choco and lingueirão. A humble recipe, rich in memory and meaning, brought to life through the hands of our chefs and the soul of our land.

Served in the warm intimacy of Vermelho’s bistro, this dish is more than a meal, it’s a passage through salt-kissed breezes, fertile estuaries, and centuries of coastal heritage. The rice, soaked slowly in the essence of the sea, anchors a conversation between earth and water, while each grain carries the rhythm of Melides itself.

Join us as we honour this culinary treasure with the quiet joy of good company, thoughtful wine pairings, and the kind of hospitality that turns strangers into friends. Reserve your table, take a seat, and let the story unfold, bite by bite.
