A private chef on the Tróia peninsula, ferry included
Tróia is an island in every way that matters for dinner: one ferry from Setúbal, one road down the peninsula, and no serious restaurant delivery in either direction. We treat the crossing as our logistics, not yours, timing arrivals to the ferry schedule, provisioning fully before boarding, and serving Tróia Resort, Soltroia and the beach houses down the sand with the same menus the mainland gets. The peninsula's isolation is the point of staying there; it should never decide what you eat.
Beach houses, dune dinners and the Sado's seafood
The peninsula's table faces two waters: the open Atlantic beaches on one side and the Sado estuary on the other, with Setúbal's fish market, home of the country's best choco and oysters from the estuary itself, ten minutes and one ferry away. Summer briefs lean into dune-side dinners and beach-house tables for multigenerational August households; June and September bring the quiet weeks locals prefer, when a sunset dinner on the sand needs three days' notice instead of three weeks'.
Dinners for 8 to 20 on the Tróia peninsula
The typical Tróia table is a multigenerational August house in Soltroia or a group of friends at the resort for a long weekend: 10 to 18 guests, one long table, often outdoors once the wind drops. We cook plated for smaller groups and family style for larger ones, built around Setúbal's market across the water: red mullet, cuttlefish, estuary oysters and clams, with Azeitão cheese and Moscatel to close.
Booking is simple: date, number of guests and the house, and a fixed per-guest proposal arrives within 24 hours. For houses across the bay see Comporta; for the city, Lisbon is an hour north.
