Cafetaria Bombordo

Reviewed By MarkW55

This pleasant little cafe offers an alternative to some of Luz's rather expensive diners. Service is good and the menu choice is fine with very reasonable prices. Outside seating offers good people watching.

Hugo Beaty

Reviewed By Eanna57

Usually a good place for breakfast but this time really disappointing. The large breakfast, while large had overcooked sausages, burnt mushrooms and tasteless bacon. This was a favourite place of mine but no longer. There are other places offering better food and better value. So disappointing.

Atlantico

Reviewed By Zaphod125

We found this place on trip advisor and were delighted with our choice. I think it was Grill night or something similar, it was a Monday evening. There were fixed menus for 2 or 3 courses at €15.90 or €19.90 which included some really good food. Main course choices were a whole sea bass or steak or Piri Piri chicken or grilled swordfish. All really nice - there were 4 of us and we had all 4. Great service (the waiter could have been a little chirpier) but was a good evening

Reviewed By feetrixie

I have stayed in Luz several times now and on each occasion we have eaten at Look. The food is fantastic, my friends/family and I have never been disappointed. They serve some of the best steaks I have ever tasted, the mashed potato is gorgeous and the lamb is delicious. They also serve the most fabulous sangria! I would suggest that you book to avoid being disappointed. Really helpful and friendly staff.Cannot praise this restaurant enough, a real favourite of ours. Thank you very much ☺

The Dolphin Restaurante

Reviewed By DUN01170

No reservation is possible, so get there early as the place fills quickly. Tables are close together and the diners chat together easily which makes for a pleasant atmosphere in an otherwise rather unprepossessing premises.

Commercial centre Edeficio Luztur.

Reviewed By Ryleegirl1022

This restaurant had a ton of Michelin recommendation stickers on its door. And for good reason.We were greeted upon arrival and escorted to a great corner table. The restaurant is tiny, and only seats 24 guests, of which all seats are full except for one table of two. Decor felt like I was sitting in someone’s home. Very comfortable. Two of ordered classic Portuguese dishes and another ordered the lamb. The classic dishes were delicious. The lamb was a little over cooked for my friends taste, but still tasty. So if you like your lamb rare, you bets let them know. Desserts were delicious and they ended our meal with complimentary port. Service was attentive and friendly. One of the best meals we had in Portugal.

OndaLuz

OndaLuz on the entrance to Praia da Luz, near when Rua da Varzea meets the Rua Direita, is a really nice traditional Portuguese Restaurante, know for its fish dishes, but it also has a wide variety of meat and seafood, you should also try the house especi

Reviewed By Eanna57

First visit to this restaurant in quite a while and was not disappointed. Really nice and well prepared food, very good atmosphere if just a little noisy. Staff helpful and service was professional. The monkfish Portuguese was really tasty and my guests were impressed by both the steak and kebab. Will be returning soon but booking is essential.

Restaurante Piri Piri

Reviewed By rosiebell42

After waiting 1.5hrs for main course, we enquired if our food was coming- to overhear staff saying what do think this is McDonald’s?!!!Staff couldn’t be bothered. Even when we got the food, chicken piri piri was dry and tough, and sea bass was not good. Chips greasy. So many lovely places so don’t go here.

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.

Reviewed By Tikiwanderlust2025

We stayed in Lagos for one night and we found this restaurant through trip advisor! Excellent space with great food and service. Actually location is the best because it’s away from the usual tourist crowd! I surely will repeat again when I come back! ;) keep the good work!Thank you for your visit, I'm glad you liked it!See you soon!
