ABOUT

With a curiosity for honest eating, thinking and drinking, austa is a restaurant and community with a connection to the land in the Algarve, Southern Portugal.

Our mission is to provide a platform for the small, independent projects and producers of the Atlantic and Andalusian coasts; quality-driven minds who provide us with seasonal ingredients and stories that we are proud to talk about and that we feel represent a better future for food, both in our region and beyond.

Eat
The menu at austa shifts and evolves with the seasons crop and catch - led always by provenance and the purpose of simplicity. To add to our purveyors lot, the bounty of our vegetable garden - planted and freshly picked by the team before service - is handed to the kitchen and combined to create plates to share that are influenced by our surroundings, experiences and memories of good food. [Sample Menu]
Drink
Working with a small number of specialist suppliers and winemakers across Portugal and nearby Spain, we seek to source characterful, small batch and low intervention wines for our list that changes with our menu. To keep things fresh, fun and interesting, we always have bottles open so you (and we) can sample new additions, old classics and rare finds.

Infused cocktail and cordial additions, like our food, are led by the seasons to highlight foraged and house-grown ingredients, also offering refreshing, hangover alternatives for booze-free friends. [Sample Menu]
