Chez Oscar/Restaurante Panorámico

Frommer's Review

The smaller and more elegant of the Pestana Carlton Park Hotel's restaurants is Chez Oscar, housed in a large, modern room that opens onto a flowering terrace. Pin lighting, candles, and a polite uniformed staff add to the glamorous ambience. The Panorámico is larger and somewhat less personal but offers a cabaret performance on Sunday night. Both restaurants emphasize fresh ingredients. Chez Oscar's food is more exotic and experimental than at the Panorámico -- for example, you might find grilled swordfish with sautéed pumpkin and basil-flavored marinara sauce. Dishes in either restaurant might include pork piccata, mixed grill of locally caught fish, roast lamb with thyme flowers, shellfish in saffron-flavored sauce, or chateaubriand for two.
