Magnolia

A Winter Table Inspired by the Horta

Magnolia is our seasonal winter concept, offering an intimate and elegant dining experience within the historic stone walls of the Convento. Warm and inviting, the space features a glowing fireplace and candlelight, creating a cosy atmosphere perfect for leisurely lunches and dinners.

The tree

Named for the magnolia at the door

The restaurant takes its name from the centuries-old magnolia tree just outside, a protected landmark that has witnessed the many chapters of the Convento's history. Its presence adds a sense of continuity and quiet grandeur to the dining experience.

A tree that has watched eight hundred years pass, still flowering each spring.

The table

From our monks, our horta, our chef

The menu is inspired by the traditions of our monks and the produce of our horta, showcasing seasonal, farm-to-table ingredients with a refined contemporary twist by our chef. Dishes are crafted for sharing and thoughtfully paired with wines, celebrating the very best of the season in every bite.

Seasonal, farm-to-table, made for sharing, the very best of winter in every bite.
