French head chef Marc le Ouedec, who with his team in 2002 earned a Michelin star for Fortaleza do Guincho, went back to the three-starred restaurant Buerehiesel in Strasbourg, to resume his position under renowned chef Antoine Westermann there. Westermann is a regular visiting consultant for the Fortaleza restaurant, owned by the same people who run Europe’s biggest casino in Estoril. New chef is Frenchman Vincent Farges, also from Buerehiesel. The menu hasn’t changed much at the luxury restaurant, located inside the hotel of the same [name] on the wonderful Guincho coast. Cooking is still French, with strong Portuguese and Mediterranean influences.
