Pacific Flavours in Vale do Lobo
Perfectly positioned in the iconic Vale do Lobo Praça with the Atlantic Ocean as its stunning backdrop, El Ta’koy invites guests on a sensory journey to the heart of the Pacific islands. Inspired by the vibrant essence of Hawaiian cuisine, this unique restaurant offers an exotic fusion of flavours, where creativity and sharing take centre stage.
At the helm is Chef Luis Pous, who brings the soul of Hawaiian gastronomy to life, shaped by his experiences with market stalls, food trucks, and small eateries across the Pacific. The result is a bold, colourful menu designed for sharing – a celebration of fresh ingredients and the rich cultural influences that define this distinctive cuisine.
Signature dishes such as Ahi Tuna Tartare Taquitos with Caviar and the delicately crafted Salmon Tiradito highlight the refined nature of a menu that blends Polynesian tastes with American, Asian, Latin American, and even Portuguese influences. To complement the culinary experience, an imaginative cocktail list features island rums and natural juices – delivering freshness, colour, and originality in every glass.
Open for leisurely lunches and late-night dinners, El Ta’koy stands out not only for its cuisine but also for its relaxed, cosmopolitan ambiance. From the lively Tiki bar and resident DJ sets to the stylish sunset-facing terrace, every detail is curated to create memorable moments.
Whether it’s a romantic date, a night out with friends, or a special family celebration, El Ta’koy offers an unforgettable experience – where cultures collide on the plate, the ocean is always in view, and the spirit of the Pacific is ever present.
