L’and Vineyards Restaurant is contemporary in design, with the actual Alentejo landscape as the key design feature. Brazilian architect Marcio Kogan uses natural materials of stone, slate and wood to provide an earthy texture to surfaces. Recessed shelves are sculpted into the back wall, allowing for the display of decorative items as well as a showcase for the bottles of L’And wines served at dinner. Hanging overhead is an abundance of chromatic glass lamps in bronze, silver and gold. The unique lighting concept is as much an art installation piece as it is a functional lighting solution.
On both sides of the dining room, floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors lead to large open terraces. Lounge chairs and sofas invite diners to have an after dinner cocktail under the starlit Alentejo skies.
The front of the room is one large picture window with the resort’s lake in the foreground, the castle of Montemor-o-Novo on a nearby hill, and the region’s famous rolling countryside stretching out in the distance. It is a spectacular backdrop for the innovative regional cuisine about to be served.
L’And is a short 50 minutes from Lisbon. It’s worth the drive for a fabulous dinner, but even better to stay and enjoy the resort.
