RESTAURANTS
O Camilo Restaurante perched on the top of the beautiful coast of Lagos at O Camilo beach is a special place. The fish on offer is straight from the ocean to your table, and served to you as perfection on a plate. The views across the ocean and the stone sculptures the wind has created rise from the sea in front of you. You have to book as you can imagine everyone wants to share in this experience.

O Ribeiro
This is a typical Portuguese Churrasqueira (Grill House) where all the locals will congregate for their lunch breaks., the tourists tend to prefer the evenings. This is one of those restaurants that has survived over the years by word of mouth and its reputation. Remember the Portuguese consider meal times an opportunity to relax, enjoy friendships, drink wine and talk about good food. So if you’re looking for service out of the blocks and a quick turn around on your food, you could be disappointed. However if you want honest, genuine wholesome meals then this is the place for you. Anything on the grill is outstanding be it fish, chicken and or meat. To mention a few, the grilled squid, the pork secrets (segredos de porco), the steamed clams and the Piri Piri Chicken, their stews are exceptional, typically from the region.

António Tá Certo
One of the last few remaining restaurants still allowed right on the beach in their original configuration. Antonios has a romantic atmosphere with a choice of outdoor dining with Scenic views or Indoor dining and a great selection from the wine list. They have an excellent menu, but here we go with ChilliBoy’s premium selection, their succulent fresh fish every day, one of the best Piri Piri Chickens on the beach and Lamb Chops done to perfection every time.

O Xafariz
O Xafariz, is a working mans eatery attached to the Galp garage in Almancil. Not open at night but very busy for lunch with all the business people in the surrounding area. The plate of the day is always satisfying Portuguese food with great flavour. The great upside is the price, that’s why it is a working mans restaurante.
