O restaurante abriu em Benfica em 1976 e, 50 anos depois, continua a apostar numa cozinha tradicional, com bacalhau, grelhados, arroz de pato e outras receitas familiares.

Os pratos do mar são a grande aposta do novo restaurante de Ferragudo

No The Panoramic, em Ferragudo, a proximidade ao mar não se fica pela vista. A ligação ao oceano prolonga-se até à carta, onde peixe grelhado, marisco, cataplanas e arrozes ocupam boa parte da ementa. Também há espaço para carnes, massas e opções mais descontraídas para quem aparece apenas para petiscar. O restaurante abriu a 17 [ ]

Dave Allister chegou a Portugal por causa das ondas e acabou a discutir com portugueses sobre a forma correta de comer tripas.
