Here we feature all the eating establishments we have really enjoyed and that have remained consistently good over the years we have been visiting. We tend to favour the traditional taverns and adegas where proper Algarvian dishes are served, but we also highlight the best spots for international cuisine. Obviously, sea food is the staple here on the Atlantic coast with simple grilled fish dishes the main offering, but we also recommend the soups, pork dishes and, of course, the infamous Chicken Piri-Piri. The sweets / desserts are good too but we’re usually too stuffed for anything more than a ‘bica’ (an Algarvian version of a double espresso). Portuguese wines are now up with the best in the world and if you’re eating lunch a vinho verde is a light and refreshing accompaniment.
