18/10/2024: This review concerns the dining experience in the windmill itself. We arrived on a terribly wet night, as the Algarve experienced a great deal of, much needed, rain. So, it was dark and rainy as we made our way up thr narrow, stone, stairs of the windmill. Upstairs is very small, seating only about 11 people. Service here is remarkable as the staff have to cross the patio from the kitchen and climb the narrow stairs. We had the wine pairing option, a 3 course meal with appropriate wines. The menu is on a tablet, so I can't recall the descriptions and I can't do it justice- we had the various options explained to us and we selected our courses: 2 chose scallops, 2 chose confit egg yolk with chorizo. Breads and amuse bouche were also served with homemade butter. Starters were stunning. Our mains were 3 Magret of duck with potato puree and beautiful tender duck, 1 chose the sea bass with clams. Again, remarkable food. Dessert was either a take on Pastel del Nata with coffee ice cream or a Mandarin Orange mousse/sorbet, both were fabulous. The chosen wines were also beautiful. This is a remarkable dining experience and well worth the, not inconsiderable, price. It's a real treat. Apologies for having no photos but it's quite dark in there and the pics didn't come out too well. You can view the menu on their website. Search for Windmill Adults Only.
