PORTUGUESE GASTRONOMY
To explore Portuguese cuisine is to take a trip back in time, to a time when the focus was on the treasures of the local land and what it had to offer, season after season. Thanks to Portugal's warm climate and rich landforms, Portuguese cuisine features a multitude of ingredients, including the famous Bacalhau from the Atlantic Ocean. We discover an array of flavors and traditional culinary techniques focused on highlighting the nuances that give Portuguese cuisine its unique and exceptional character.

Intimate, extravagant and charming, Vermelho Bar is designed to welcome those in search of a cozy spot open day and night. Be spontaneous, admire its hammered silver bar custom-made by Villareal's silversmiths, order that flamboyant cocktail, browse the snack menu, swap stories you've unearthed by the fireside and toast to Melides' distinctive ambience.
