SW Steakhouse, known for its premium steaks and exceptional seafood, has received the Black Pearl "One-Diamond Restaurant" honor for four consecutive years.

At the helm of SW Steakhouse is Executive Chef Helder Sequeira Amaral, who insists on carefully selecting only premium ingredients from around the world. To elevate the dining experience further, the lights darken, music fades and an aperture opens, presenting a one-of-a-kind animated theatrical surprise. In recognition of the restaurant's commitment to providing extraordinary gastronomic experiences, SW Steakhouse has also received the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Restaurant accolade and the MICHELIN Selected restaurant honor.
