L-Colesterol is a summer suggestion good for any time of the year. The town of Aljezur, the restaurant’s warm colours, delicacies and good music are the main features of this already famous place at Vicentina Coast.
Operating since 2002, L-Colesterol was the result of a partnership among friends and is the pride of Diogo Vasconcelos and Pedro Leitão, its actual owners. Situated at a very accessible location a few kilometres south of Aljezur, stopping by before or after the beach is a must, but it also deserves a visit for its young and original atmosphere.
The choice of regional appetizers is excellent, like the oven heated goat cheese, grilled asparagus with flor de sal (a very thin layer of salt crystals formed at the surface of salt water tanks, that is harvested during the summer according to traditional methods), baby cuttlefish Algarve style or eggplant au gratin Coles style. Salads are always an option either to complement your meal or for a midday snack. If you prefer something more conventional, opt for one of the meat or fish dishes or the vegetarian lasagne, which enjoys a local reputation. If you’re lucky and catch the bread coming right out of the baker’s oven, try the traditional Tiborna.
Desserts are equally tempting. Try the house dessert, the sweet potato cake, or the orange cake stuffed with sweet potato.
Whether in the afternoon or in the evening enjoy cold and yummy drinks: caipirinhas, mojitos or other fruit cocktails, or the typical red, white, rosé or sparkling wine sangria, or L’C’s lemonade. Another one of this restaurant’s features is its music. Guest DJ’s live up the busiest evenings, inviting you to stay for a very pleasant time.
The outdoor area has a section prepared for larger groups and a menu befitting a summer gathering of friends.
Take advantage of this part of Vicentina Coast: enjoy the nature surrounding you and the breathtaking landscape. Aljezur needs no introduction. Still, Diogo suggests a visit do Arrifana and Monte Clérigo beaches, and a stroll through Aljezur.
