Great places to go...

The Algarve is filled with great places to eat and drink. These are just the places that "stuck" to us in all these years because we either love the food, the location, the staff or because we have another special connection to them. Anyway, the places we have a positive experience with. There are still a lot of places we haven't visited yet (it would probably take a life time). If you have a great tip for us in return, please let us know and who knows we can add them to the list too!


Trattoria Oliveira - PRAIA DO CARVOEIRO

The Italian restaurant located right next to Casa Misa which also happens to be one of our favorite Italian restaurants. We personally recommend the garlic bread with mozzarella and the white sangria (one of the best). https://maps.app.goo.gl/QhghKcYSnB3SNM9r5

O Escondidinho - PRAIA DO CARVOEIRO

CANICO - ALVOR

It takes some navigation skills to find this place (the restaurant is located inside a resort) but is is definitely worth the quest! This restaurant is build in a cliff, overlooking the beach. You can only reach it with a lift. You can have lunch or just a cocktail. But if you really want to be ‘wow-ed’ make sure to go here for dinner (reservations recommended). When it is dark, a beautiful arrangement is projected on the cliffs. https://maps.app.goo.gl/AVwmHEMpTD7vTAVA8

O TEODOSIO - GUIA

This is definitely the place to be for typical Portugese chicken piri-piri! Actually it is the only thing on the menu but finger licking good ;) https://maps.app.goo.gl/aCUJ91mMcw42KPhZ9

DOS SANTOS CRAFT BEER - ESTOMBAR

A beautiful designed restaurant with stunning view over the vineyard. Make sure to reserve a spot on the terrace in the golden hour before sunset. They serve great wines but if you are more of a beer person, you are in the right place too. They brew their own beer! https://maps.app.goo.gl/qStskVGPtCmo4AUC8

ABRIGO - LAGOS

It is on the terrace of this restaurant where we decided to look for a property in the Algarve! So this restaurant is special to us and we love the atmosphere on the little square. https://maps.app.goo.gl/zB8ovyrZdLKuGcfa8

SPECIALS

PALACIO DO CONE - PRAIA DO CARVOEIRO

We visit this place every year for 25 years and we still love the ice cream! They make the cone waffles themselves and the ice cream is delicious. Make sure to go for the whole package, so with whipped cream and a sauce on top. Sit on the square or near the beach while you eat it or walk up the stairs and have a wonderful view over the cliffs. https://maps.app.goo.gl/tB59xZHXdd1rAyFr9
