Every year a new culinary concept

“It is one of the smallest and most exclusive restaurants and beach bars in the Algarve. On Xiringuito beach, close to Praia da Galé, Vila Joya SEA is reborn every summer with a new décor and menu. This year there are two menus, one Latin American and one Japanese, which you can enjoy overlooking the Atlantic Ocean!”

To Latin America with Chef Hiram González

Chef Hiram draws inspiration from memories of his childhood in Mexico, travels through Latin America and the vast array of ingredients, traditions, and cuisines of this wonderful continent. His cooking is exciting, soulful and genuine. Every dish is an ode to his affection for his heritage and homeland and the many loved ones with whom he discovered the wonders of the Latin American gastronomy.
