Guidebook for Lagos
Food Scene
A plain and simple “tasca” (simple restaurant). The fish will be super fresh, boiled potatoes and salad. As simple as it gets. The fish will be perfectly grilled and super tasty and we recommend to finish your meal with a chocolate mousse, if available. They do not take reservations, so we suggest you go either early or late and avoid the 8 o'clock rush hour.

Literally on the Meia-Praia beach, it’s a great spot to enjoy dinner at the sunset hour. You will be shown to a counter of fresh fish to choose the one you want them to cook for you. It will be grilled to perfection, accompanied by Algarve-style side dishes. A great meal with the best fish, wine and the best local deserts. It I can be expensive though, but the ambiance, food and the view are great.

Great for wine lovers, they have available more then 400 national wines. The food is delicious and you will find an upscaled version of traditional Portuguese dishes. In this case, without the typical grilled fish you will find in most places in Lagos. Phone: +351 282 792 436

Great restaurant. We love their "Cataplana". One of our recommendations.
Cataplana is a Portuguese seafood dish originating in the southern region of Portugal in Algarve, and it is about as traditional a Portuguese dish as you can get. It uses a copper cooking device also called a Cataplana which unique to the Algarve region.

We recommend restaurant Senses for some fine dining. It is inside the Cascade Wellness Resort in Porto de Mós.
The menu is a "homage" to the Algarve flavours, with a selection of the finest local produce. It is supposed to transport us in a gastronomy voyage with a mediterranean origin, deeply influenced by the proximity of the sea. Great food!

Marina de Lagos a lot of night life. A couple of bars, restaurantes to get you started. And it is only approximately a 10 minute walk down the hill. After your night has ended, remember that it is time for up the hill so give an extra 10 minutes to the initial time. It is not a leg burner, but it will definitely get your muscles to work.

Parks & Nature
Plenty of things to do in Meia Praia beach. Just to name a few:
SUP (Stand Up Paddle Boarding), water ski rental, para-gliding, windsurfing, surfing (with the proper swell), snorkeling, dolphin watching, boat rides... and, of course, relax under the sun and swim in the sea.

Follow the road "Estrada da Ponta da Piedade" until the end to see the stunning Geologic formations. Even better, get a sightseeing boat cruise to visit the grottos and caves. Plenty of options to book in Lagos Marina directly.

Probably one of the most photographed and beautiful beach in the Algarve. Be sure to check it out before 3 o'clock. From this time onwards, it gets a shade from the rocks which can be perfect for those really hot days.
