A gourmet restaurant with a privileged view of the sea. Bérrio was one of the vessels on Vasco da Gama's expedition that discovered the sea route to India. It got its name because it was sold to King Manuel I to be part of the Indian fleet by its owner, D. Manuel de Bérrio, a native of Lagos, who equipped it because he was a renowned pilot at the time.
