Food and drink are central to the wellness concept at The Prime Energize, with fresh, seasonal ingredients and balanced menus taking the lead.

Fuel Restaurant
The hotel’s main restaurant serves a mix of international and Portuguese cuisine at breakfast, lunch and dinner, with both buffet and à la carte options. Expect colourful salads, grilled fish, lean meats and vegetarian choices, plus a kids’ menu and highchairs for younger guests.

Beach Club Restaurant
Down on Montegordo’s sands, the hotel’s own beach club (Pr1me Energize Beach Club) offers a stylish setting for long lunches by the sea. Think fresh seafood, salads and ice-cold drinks with the sound of the Atlantic in the background.
