If you're looking for fresh fish and a view of the ocean, you can’t do much better than this popular restaurant above beautiful Praia do Camilo. Along with fish that's just come from the market, there are clams and oysters from Ria de Alvor that are prepared with skill. It gets very busy, so make a reservation, or be prepared to wait for a table.
Set away from the hustle and bustle of the coast and outside the touristic area, Calhou is a traditional Portuguese restaurant with a side of Italy—serving incredible Neapolitan pizzas from a wood-fired oven. The low ceiling and wood-paneled interior makes the restaurant feel rustic and cozy.
Overlooking the dramatic Praia da Batata, this restaurant has a simple but lovely dining room and a popular outdoor terrace. The fish is exceptionally fresh, and served up with little elements of fine dining finesse without the tiny portions.
