Austa is a multi-faceted culinary space in Almancil that blends restaurant, café, and community hub into a unified vision. The design, led by Studio Gameiro, combines local craftsmanship and natural materials—such as a striking rock-salt bench sourced from nearby mines—with clean, minimal aesthetics. Guided by Chef David Barata, Austa’s menu changes seasonally and emphasizes locally sourced, sustainable ingredients, as well as small-batch, low-intervention wines. It’s a place grounded in place-based storytelling and culinary sincerity.
