Sueste, Ferragudo

The bizarre-looking but incredibly tastyemparador (emperor fish) is one of the more unusual treats on the menu at this fabulous quayside restaurant overlooking the River Arade. Spectacular summer sunsets bathe the terrace with a golden light, adding greatly to Sueste’s appeal.
Tarantino’s, Quinta do Lago

Creative pasta dishes served with finesse and with some of Portugal’s best wines. Bookings advisable.
Teotonius

Arched ceilings and low lights provide a romantic setting for this cosy restaurant. The imaginative menu includes diet-inducing fondue.
V Terra Restaurant. Estoi.

Food with a flair! The restaurant is spread over 3 floors including a roof terrace but is quite small and intimate. Prato do dia is excellent value.
Vila Joya, Albufeira

An exclusive gourmet restaurant boasting two Michelin stars. The menu degustation errs towards French haute cuisine, with a superb wine list to match. The terrace has a magnificent sea view. Tables are strictly by reservation only, and the dress code is on the casual side of smart.
Where to eat in Moncarapacho

MONCARAPACHO.

Antonio’s, also known as the Internet Cafe.

This has a fairly plain bar at the front, but it is well worth trekking through to the back where there is a very nice air conditioned restaurant. The Prato do Dia (lunch time menu) is very good value with a main course priced at aroud 7 euros. Don’t be surprised if some people get served before you, they’re the workers and have to get back to their jobs! The evening menu is a little more extensive and a little more expensive, but still good value.

Colibri.

Also known locally to some as “Danny’s” Once again you need to work your way through the bar to the restaurant with it’s closely packed tables, in the summer there are more tables outside in the street. Most people have to try the steak on a stone, which is becoming world famous, and proclaim it to be “the best I’ve ever had”. Don’t be shy, wear the bib.

The Bistro,

Most of the dishes have an Italian flavour. They have a small terrace for outside eating, and will do a takeaway pizza.
