These are the places we like to go ourselves and happily recommend to our guests – from the villages right next to us to Sagres and Salema on the coast. Opening days and hours change with the season, so please check before you go.
Raposeira and Budens
- Marigil, Raposeira – traditional Portuguese cooking. The special oven dishes need to be ordered in advance.
- O Tiago, Budens – a family-run Portuguese restaurant. We especially recommend the steak and the garlic prawns.
Vila do Bispo
- Pisco – creative vegetarian food and pizza made with long-fermented dough.
- Ribeira do Poço – classic Portuguese cooking with fish and seafood.
- A Eira do Mel – regional Algarve cooking with seasonal ingredients, in a former farmhouse.
Sagres
- A Sereia – right above the fish auction at Baleeira harbour. A lovely place for grilled fish.
- Retiro do Pescador – a family-run fish restaurant for grilled fish, seafood and fish soup.
- Vila Velha – for a special evening, with Portuguese and international cooking and a large wine list.
Salema
- O Lourenço – traditional Algarve cooking with fish and seafood, a little away from the beach crowds.
- A Bóia – right on the beach with a sea view. Nice for a relaxed lunch with grilled fish.
- Atlântico Restaurante Bar – fish, seafood and Portuguese dishes, with a terrace right on the beach and a sea view.
- Salema My Sushi – sushi, sashimi and warm Asian dishes right on the beach square – an easy change from the fish restaurants.
