French elegance in the anti-Saint-Tropez
Comporta is Portugal's best-kept secret: golden rice fields, endless beaches... and very few restaurants. I set up in your villa to transform every meal into an exceptional moment, blending French gastronomy with the treasures of the Alentejo.
You chose Comporta for its preserved authenticity, wild dunes, and bohemian-chic atmosphere. But this magic comes with a catch: the region has barely a handful of restaurants, often fully booked weeks in advance during high season.
Between driving to Setúbal or Lisbon to find a good restaurant and tired children after a beach day at Praia do Pego, meals can quickly become a source of stress.
That's precisely why a villa chef makes perfect sense in Comporta: you enjoy the unique serenity of the Alentejo, and every evening, a gastronomic experience awaits you in your villa.
The realities you'll quickly discover...
Comporta has fewer than 10 quality restaurants. In August, same-day reservations are impossible. Cavalariça or Sublime are fully booked weeks ahead.
Villas are scattered among rice fields and cork oak forests. Every restaurant outing means 20-40 minutes of driving, often on dirt roads. With tired children? Mission impossible.
In Portugal, dinner is late (9-10pm). With young children who collapse at 7:30pm after Carvalhal beach, family outings become a puzzle.
You've rented a dream villa with a terrace facing the rice fields and a fully equipped kitchen. Spending your evenings driving around looking for a restaurant? What a waste.
Homemade pastéis de nata, fresh fruit, local yogurts. Everything is ready when you wake up. (Exclusive package)
You enjoy some of Europe's most beautiful beaches without thinking about lunch.
Grilled octopus salad, local sea bream ceviche, Alentejo-style gazpacho. Light and fresh, perfect after the beach.

The heart of "Portugal's best-kept secret". Villas nestled among rice fields and century-old cork oaks, a bohemian-chic atmosphere prized by Parisian creatives and Belgian families.
The wildest beaches on the coast. Large isolated properties, perfect for large families seeking absolute tranquility.
The natural extension of Comporta, even more confidential. Majestic dunes and lagoon. Christian Louboutin has his house there — that says it all about the level of discretion sought.
Wine estates and renovated old farmhouses. Exceptional setting for groups and large family gatherings.
The Alentejo, an exceptional terroir
Setúbal is 30 minutes away: sea bream, sea bass, cuttlefish, clams. Local fishermen bring back Atlantic treasures every morning.
The Alentejo produces the best black pork in Europe. Secreto, pluma, bellota... Incomparable flavors for your dinners.
Herdade do Esporão, Mouchão, Cortes de Cima... The region produces exceptional wines, perfect to accompany refined French cuisine.
Dinner on your terrace facing the rice fields at sunset, with only the storks for background noise. Comporta offers a unique setting.
French techniques, Portuguese products. The best of both worlds on your plate.
I know the best suppliers in the region: fishmongers in Setúbal, market gardeners in Grândola, Alentejo winemakers.
Gourmet children's menus (no industrial nuggets), flexible schedules, allergy management.
I adapt to your rhythm. Present for meals, invisible the rest of the time.
"Here, I enhance Atlantic fish with French sauces, accompany black pork with Southwest condiments, and finish with local citrus desserts. The meeting of my Bordeaux roots and the treasures of the Alentejo."
— Adam Brunet
"Two weeks of pure bliss. With 4 children, going to restaurants had become hell. Adam transformed our Carvalhal villa into a gourmet restaurant. The octopus carpaccio and seafood rice will stay etched in our memories."
"We've been coming to Comporta for 5 years and always had the same problem: impossible to book at Cavalariça. Since we discovered Adam, we don't go to restaurants anymore. His dinners on our terrace facing the rice fields are unforgettable."
I mainly source from the Grândola market (fruits, vegetables, cheeses), the Setúbal fishmonger for ultra-fresh fish and seafood, and local producers for Iberian black pork. I know the best suppliers in the region after several seasons here.
