Despite the misleading name, this cheerful restaurant actually does have a patio, and a beautiful one surrounded by trees and soft lighting (the name translates roughly as "in the courtyard"). The chefs incorporate premium local produce in dishes that have an international flair.
Traditional Portuguese cooking (especially charcoal-grilled fish and seafood) is the draw at this Lagos institution, which has welcomed hungry diners to its rustic environs for nearly 50 years. You can dine at elegant candlelit tables inside or on a sidewalk out front. You may wish to start your meal with a typical fish or shrimp dish, followed by the seafood stew or cataplana—all extremely good.
