A remake of a Tiki Bar with Hawaiian street food 

El Ta’koy is the brand new concept from the renowned Ches Luis A. Pous. It stands out as the next dining destination that curates an eclectic gastronomic experience of Hawaiian street food fused with dishes all the way from Asia to Latin America. 

The menu shows off a luxurious palette that allows the incredible variety of fusion dishes to be showcased whilst being designed to transport your senses straight into the Hawaiian culture.  

The restaurant has the spirit of Aloha, it is warm and inviting, polished yet light hearted and is the perfect intimate hotspot for pot-work cocktails or a leisurely dinner in a vibrant atmosphere with tunes to make you hula. 

In 2025, El Ta’koy expanded to Vale do Lobo, a luxury resort in Portugal’s Algarve region, as part of an initiative to elevate the resort’s culinary offerings. TGP International supported this expansion through a comprehensive F&B master planning review and placement strategy for the resort’s F&B portfolio.

The team provided end-to-end concept development and brand management (including outreach to Chef Luis Pous’s team) and delivered operational guidance with full pre-opening support to ensure a successful launch.

Spread across two levels with breathtaking views of the Algarve coastline, the new El Ta’koy delivers a vibrant, tiki-inspired dining experience that brings the spirit of the Hawaiian islands to Vale do Lobo. This latest opening not only introduces bold tropical flavours and island vibes to the resort, but also underscores Vale do Lobo’s commitment to innovative, world-class dining experiences.
