Very common in the Serra da Arrábida, known for its astonishing biodiversity and varied vegetation, Juniper (Juniperus communis) is one of the native species in the region.

The berries have a characteristic aroma and are used in culinary dishes and the production of alcoholic beverages such as Gin. They are harvested and used to flavor dishes and drinks, as well as used as a condiment in some regional recipes.

Zimbral offers Portuguese cuisine with a focus on fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced products. We follow a farm-to-table approach, using ingredients from our own garden whenever possible.

With an outdoor terrace surrounded by nature, it’s the perfect spot for a relaxed lunch or dinner. The service is attentive, and the food respects the rhythm of the seasons, with authentic flavour and simplicity.
