The best Portuguese restaurants Algarve

This little gourmet on the corner of the street is a real gem among the offerings in Lagos. As its subtitle suggests(Comes e Bebes), you come and sit in one of the high chairs to enjoy quality pesticides , accompanied by either one of the good wines the store has in store or a freshly drawn draught. For the tougher appetites, the chef will prepare - before your stunned and hungry eyes - an arrufadinho or tiras de polvo to die for. An atypical address with lounge music in the background.

You have to climb to the top of the village of Odeceixe to find this restaurant located near the inratable mill. Once a popular tavern frequented by the villagers, the space has been renewed and updated but the flavors have remained very local. The Assador Altinho is deliberately oriented towards a cuisine faithful to the tradition with a strong character: ham tapas, grilled octopus or xerém algarvio... Generous portions, interesting wines, decent prices and good atmosphere, the perfect combo promising a good evening!

It is what we call a local address, but victim of its success, so it is better to arrive early at the risk of waiting a long time for a table. The setting is charming, the interior courtyard inspires relaxation and the spirit is young and friendly. But one comes especially to taste inventive tapas inspired by the local and alentejana cuisine where the octopus reigns supreme. We like this gastro bistro concept but before getting on your high horse, you should know and accept that here, everything is paid for by the portion, including the mayo.

This tavern is the work of the former food writer for the English newspaper The Guardian. Kevin Gould knows a thing or two about restaurants. His locavore cuisine focuses on seafood (mussels and clams) but also expresses the soul of the Portuguese soil with dishes based on black pork and tender root vegetables. Sparkling rosés refresh and enhance this inventive cuisine. Sweet tooths will finish the meal with an exquisite pastry from Kevin's new bakery.
