ABOUT

With a focus on honest eating, thinking, and drinking, Austa is a restaurant, coffee shop, kitchen, and community connected 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. These quality-driven minds provide us with seasonal ingredients and stories. We are proud to share them, and we believe they 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.

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]
Reservations
From Tuesday to Saturday we are open for breakfast and lunch from our simple, all day menu, with tables available from 9:30 - 14:00. Apéro, drinks and snacks from the bar, are available from 14:15 - 16:15 until we close to prepare for the evening at 17:00. We re-open for dinner, our main service of the day, at 19:00.

For groups of 6+, we only work with a fixed sharing menu option, priced at €65 per person (drinks not included). The menu is chosen for you by us on the day (taking into account pre-communicated allergies and dietary requirements) and is a set of dishes that tell the story of austa, our producers and our location. For more information please read our terms & conditions.

Requests for group bookings of 13+ people, as well as private events and celebrations should be sent to eat@austa.pt.

We welcome children of all ages for breakfast and lunch. Babes in arms and children aged 7 and over are welcome to join us for dinner, but sadly we are unable to accommodate children aged 7 and under.

Pantry
The pantry at austa is filled with concoctions that are conjured in our very own kitchen - conserves, preserves and ferments made from seasonal ingredients that change based on what our cooks are using daily. There are curiosities, cookbooks and ceramics as well as bottles from our hand curated collection of low intervention, natural and biodynamic wine available to pop open at home or take to a dinner party.

Both digital and physical gift vouchers are available for the restaurant and our pantry. To purchase please contact us with your enquiry to eat@austa.pt.
