With its sun-drenched coastlines, rich history, and warm hospitality, Portugal has become one of Europe’s most sought-after destinations for family travel. From the vibrant streets of Lisbon to the golden beaches of the Algarve, the country effortlessly blends culture, nature, and adventure, making it perfect for travelers of all ages.
As one of the country’s most complete family-friendly resorts, Martinhal Lisbon Oriente has redefined the art of family holidays by combining luxury, comfort, and thoughtful details that cater to every member of the family. At the heart of this experience lies Terrace Restaurant, Bar and Café, where flavours, family, and inspiration come together.
A Menu for Every Palate
Whether it’s a tranquil breakfast to start the day, a leisurely brunch under the sun, or an elegant dinner in the evening, Terrace sets the perfect stage for every meal. Reflecting the spirit of Portuguese explorations into the Orient, the restaurant’s menu is a harmonious blend of Oriental and Mediterranean fusion cuisine, thoughtfully crafted to surprise and delight. For those craving the taste of home, Terrace also celebrates diversity on its menu, including a dedicated Indian menu. Vegetarian guests will be delighted by the traditionally prepared dishes including upma, poori bhaji and khichdi, cooked with authentic spices and ingredients.
Families are a cornerstone of both the resorts and restaurants’ philosophy, and hence the restaurant has specially designed menus for children and babies inclusive of gourmet dishes, ensuring that even the youngest guests are well catered to.
As the sun sets, the Terrace Bar transforms into an inviting haven for unwinding in style. With its intimate and sophisticated ambiance, the bar offers an array of creatively crafted cocktails, complemented by light Mediterranean and Oriental-inspired tapas. True to the spirit of Portuguese hospitality, the bar's wine selection celebrates the country's finest, featuring a curated range of white, red, and rosé wines from diverse regions, alongside distinguished Port and Moscatel varieties.
For a more casual indulgence, the Terrace Café offers an all-day selection of high-quality artisanal treats. From the perfect cappuccino with foam that lingers, to specialty coffee by Portuguese Aroma, and exquisite teas and infusions from Companhia Portugueza do Chá, every detail is crafted with care. Guests can also savor homemade ice creams by Artisani, alongside a variety of other delicious delicacies, making the café an excellent spot to relax and recharge throughout the day.
More Than Just a Meal
Dining at Terrace is not just about great food—it’s about creating memories with loved ones. Families can enjoy a relaxed dining experience, thanks to Martinhal’s Kids Club. This supervised play area lets children engage in fun activities while parents savor their meal with peace of mind.
Where Culinary Excellence Meets Family Comfort
