INFINITUM Reopens The Lakehouse Bistrot

Posted on by

INFINITUM has reopened The Lakehouse Bistrot after a complete renovation of both its facilities and its culinary concept. Under the direction of executive chef Beatriz Burillo, the restaurant now embraces a fresh Mediterranean identity, blending modern, healthy cuisine with the signature coastal atmosphere that defines the resort.

The Lakehouse Bistrot stands as a key part of the INFINITUM experience, where golf, fine dining, and residential life merge into one Mediterranean lifestyle. The new autumn menu highlights local, seasonal ingredients, celebrating freshness and sustainability.

Chef Burillo explains, “My goal has been to create a gastronomic experience that combines exquisite food with a natural setting, reinforcing our commitment to sustainable cuisine and the environment around us.” She also emphasised that both the à la carte and daily menus have been redesigned to showcase local produce and balance creativity with authenticity.

Among the new dishes are lamb shoulder with roasted vegetables, grilled Balfegó tuna with julienne vegetables, monkfish romesquet, and aged beef sirloin. Each plate reflects the restaurant’s philosophy of combining innovation with Mediterranean tradition.

The restaurant also features the Albatros Room, a private, fully equipped space designed for corporate and private events. It offers direct access to the terrace, flexible layouts for up to 45 guests, and cutting-edge audiovisual technology including an 85-inch LED screen and high-speed WiFi. Custom catering and professional technical support are available for all event types.

Located in the Clubhouse of the Lakes Golf Course, The Lakehouse Bistrot combines elegant interior design with panoramic views of the Greg Norman-designed course and the nearby protected wetlands of Sèquia Major. Large windows flood the space with natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that feels both exclusive and relaxed.

The décor subtly blends modern elements like glass and metal with organic touches such as natural-fibre lighting, achieving the perfect balance between contemporary design and Mediterranean comfort.

With its renewed culinary vision and refined setting, The Lakehouse Bistrot adds yet another reason to visit INFINITUM on the Costa Dorada, whether for golf, fine dining, or simply to enjoy one of Spain’s most distinctive resort experiences.

Tomás Ribeiro Wins Italy Open Pitch & Putt

Tomás Ribeiro delivered a standout performance for Portugal, winning the Italy Open Pitch & Putt at the Florinas Golf course in Sardinia. The national team achieved an excellent overall result, with Hugo Espírito Santo and Arnaldo Paredes both finishing inside the top five.

The event brought together 71 players competing across three rounds of 18 holes on one of the toughest courses in the circuit. After posting scores of 53 (-1) and 56 (+2) on Saturday, Ribeiro began the final round tied for second with Spain’s Cesar Crespo, three strokes behind home favourite Giacomo Meloni.

In what he described as the most difficult course he has ever played, the 23-year-old Portuguese international from Paredes Golf Club held his nerve on Sunday with another 56, clinching victory by a single shot. His total of 165 (+3) edged out Crespo, who finished on 166 (+4).

“I’m very happy. It was the first time I won an individual event while representing the national team, and it feels even more special to share this moment with all the Portuguese players who were here,” Ribeiro said after the win. The victory also came on the eve of his 23rd birthday, adding a personal touch to a memorable weekend.

Ribeiro had already been runner-up in last year’s edition of the Italy Open, won by Italy’s Andrea Fusco. Earlier this season, he claimed the Portugal Open Pitch & Putt and helped Paredes Golf Club secure the national club championship just a week before this latest triumph.

In Sardinia, Hugo Espírito Santo from Quinta das Lágrimas finished third after a superb closing round of 52, the lowest score recorded in the entire tournament, for a total of 168 (+6). Giacomo Meloni slipped to fourth with 169 (+7), and Arnaldo Paredes, also from Quinta das Lágrimas, secured fifth place with 171 (+9).

This outstanding performance once again underlines Portugal’s growing strength in international Pitch & Putt golf, both individually and as a team.
