About
One of the best seafood restaurants in town is this old-style tavern serving what is market-fresh every day. Their menu is adjusted daily, depending on the catch. The service is courteous, and the classic cookery never seems to disappoint. Of course, the recipes are the tried-and-true, familiar fare to all devotees of seafood along the Algarve. Our favorite is the parrilhada de mariscos, a mixed grill of shellfish. Also savory is the arroz de marisco, shellfish-studded rice and gambas (shrimp), prepared in the style of Mozambique, or with hot peppers. The chefs also do the best lobster dishes in town, and serve up a limited selection of meat dishes, including roast beef, roast pork, and veal escalopes cordon bleu.
