Mesa dos Mouros, Faro

Faro’s historic 13th-century cathedral overlooks this quiet, rustic establishment, the name of which translates as “The Moors’ Table”. Thejavoli com molho de frutos (wild boar with fruit sauce) is a much loved classic from the restaurant’s range of Southern Portuguese cuisine.
Migas

Wonderfully unassuming with friendly service, Migas is one of the few restaurants to serve traditionalsopas de poejo com entrecosto (soup with fried meat).
Monte do Casal, Estói

An old farmhouse restaurant with tempting fare, including a ravioli of goat’s cheese with red pepper coulis.
Mullens, Lagos

Full of character and run by a young, friendly staff. The spicy beef, Mozambique-style, is incredible.
No Pátio, Lagos

With dishes liketamboril “Lady Curzon” (monkfish, prawn and mushrooms in a curry and white wine sauce) it’s no wonder the Danish owner/chef is regarded as a master saucier. In summer, diners can enjoy the patio.
No Pátio, Lagos

The chef here is a master saucier. See Restaurants.
O Alcaide

Discreetly wedged in between a row of cottages, this homely eatery radiates warmth and relaxed hospitality. Excellent regional fare and a generous wine list.
O Alentejano

A local favourite at lunchtime. Ask for the superb-value “Dish of the Day.”
O Ceú, Gorjões

The duck breast in sweet and sour sauce is marvellous, as is the deer in red wine.
O Charneco, Estômbar

Larger-than-life proprietor Joaquim Charneco and his wife Marta have scooped numerous culinary awards for their delicious choice of rustic fare. Traditional wood-burning ovens give the food its distinct flavour.
