What are the meals like?
Daily breakfast buffet and lunch package are include in the price.
The Lodge offers two types of breakfast, trying to use regionally grown products as much as possible. The generous breakfast times from 08:00 – 11:00 cater the early bird as well as to the late sleeper.
Standard breakfast is included in the price. Don’t get it wrong. What The Lodge calls standard is a rich breakfast buffet that will provide you with all you need for an action packed day. It includes tea and coffee, different juices, yoghurt, various fresh breads, ham and cheese, jam and honey, fruits and cereals.
Lunchpack is an easy way to prepare yourself for a day outdoors. Create your own delicious sandwich at the breakfast buffet and receive your lunchbox containing a bottle of water or isotonic drink, fruit and cereal bar.
As much as possible, The Lodge Portugal will buy the ingredients locally, supporting local farmers and avoiding long distance transport. Like this, you will find only the freshest and most tasty products on your plate.
