Algarve, Portugal Food Guide: 10 International food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Lagos

January 17, 2020 Janette Largent

Find out what International restaurants to try in Lagos. There is rich and beautiful history within Lagos’ 14th century walls, from its fortress to picturesque churches like Medieval São João Hermitage and the 17th-century São Sebastião. But that’s all appetizer. People come here for a main-course coastal buffet featuring more than a half-dozen beautiful beaches. Quiet sandy coves are sandwiched between dramatic cliffs. The sandy 2.5-mile stretch of Meia Praia caters to every water sport imaginable. And when you’ve had your fill, you can digest your day with some of the best nightlife in the Algarve region.

Restaurante No Patio

Romantic, elegant charm

Reviewed By 53sherwoodg

We had a lovely meal at No Patio and this restuarant is quite unique in Lagos. We only found it by accident on an evening stroll and booked a table for a couple of days later. They close Mondays but still took our booking call. The interior of the restaurant is partly open and partly under cover which gives the impression of you being in a privater garden or courtyard and has been decorated to set a fantastic aura.The service was very good and friendly and you got the impression that nothing was too much trouble and all the staff were smiling as they served.The food was excellent and if we had been there longer we would certyainly have gone back.

Tasca Jota

Tasca Jota – where the fantastic Portuguese cuisine meets a very peculiar twist. The result? Tapas, steaks, and much more for the delight of the senses, in a relaxed atmosphere, to enjoy with friends by a nice glass of wine.

We had a meal booked here for our last night. Got a lovely seat outside. Food was delicious and the staff were very accommodating and attentive. They also gave great recommendations for wine to suit your meal. I had the shrimp curry and my partner had the beef cheeks which were both very tasty.

Reviewed By annamaraeline

Okay service, tip: remember enthusiasm makes the difference between mediocrity and greatness! But the food was very good! Beautiful dishes, I had a nice “salad” which was like a raw pasta dish of sweet patato and a sauce of peanuts. The goat cheese salad is also very good! And the Seitan dish had lovely patatoes. Desserts were also good! Alltogether very nice food!

Having been to the Avenida a few times we did not expect the service and food to have been elevated to new levels. The meal was amazing, service on point and Chef Roland and his team are serving the highest quality food with freshest ingredients. The scallops and food gras were superb and the main course beef cooked to perfection. Chef serve an amouse bouche of grilled marrow bone topped with caviar and roasted coriander seed which was delicious. Wine list would make great reading anywhere. Highly recommend.Dear Alan, Thank you very much for visiting our restaurant once again and leaving our restaurant with such a sensation. We are pleased to read that we exceeded your expectations and created a whole new level of gastronomic delights. Certainly we will forward your fantastic review to the Avenida Team and Chef Roland Klein and hope to have you back very time soon.
