50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Arvore

“A local tavern with a view of the ocean and the mouth of the Ava river. "National" cuisine. We tried the veal from the oven and it was great!
The waiter was friendly and made an effort to translate the menu for us from Portuguese.“

“Staying at Parque de Campismo de Vila Cha and went in search of local restaurants. What a fabulous and unexpected find! It may not look much from the street but the upstairs restaurant was lovely and full of locals which is usually a good sign. Staff were very attentive and food was absolutely delicious. We ate the monkfish rice to share for mains and it was outstanding. Would strongly recommend a visit. If we were staying here longer we’d definitely come back again!“

“The food in this restaurant was delicious and well presented, it had lots of choices between meat and fish too. The service from the waiters was exceptional and they seemed pretty chill. The location is beautiful too. Overall a very nice experience, I would recommend.“

“Very beautiful place, exceptional staff and fair prices for a varied menu with lots of good things. Everything very well made. I only switched to homemade fries, even with the skin on, but the ones that came were also good. Congratulations and much success!“

“As for this restaurant, the building itself is a monument. It has such a nice interior in a perfect location right by the sea. You can see the outside through the large window, but I couldn't see outside because I had dinner. There are 22 course menus, of which we ordered 7 courses. All the dishes were perfect, but the prawns and cod were especially good. Our expectations for a Michelin two-star restaurant were very high, but this restaurant perfectly met them. Also, they gave me a tour of the kitchen before desert, which was also a very interesting experience. They gave us a tea as gift when we left. Strongly recommended.“

“Restaurant, where the food is very good, affordable prices and very friendly staff. I advise you to keep your eyes closed. The dishes are plentiful. We were there for our daughter's 18th birthday. She was entitled to her candle on her dessert and an effigy 18.
Many thanks to you.
And before paying the bill, we double-check everything we ate together at the counter. No error possible.

“Excellent restaurant to eat quality fresh and well-cooked fish. Quality and concerned service. Price a little high for the house but perhaps in line with the competition. The invoice is not detailed, only mentioning the number of meals and the price.
Easy parking in the area.
For the quality, I recommend it.“

“We visited for Sunday lunch, the place appears to operate as a café, bar, TV lounge, takeaway and restaurant, and caters to locals as well as people from the nearby camp site. Skewered prawn and squid was fresh and nicely grilled. The dessert was too sweet for my taste, but a decent strong coffee made up for it. I've given four stars rather than five as I have eaten in more refined restaurants in the area.“

“Restaurant that you would not notice from the facade, but it is worth entering and finding pleasant, friendly staff eager to offer you good food. Please come in and enjoy. Greetings to the waitress who made everything easier for us. Very good food“

“Extremely friendly, attentive and competent, as well as authentic service! I would like to give this one more star!

The ambience outside in the small square, surrounded by old, typical buildings from the turn of the century or older with a view of a beautiful linden tree, is simply very pleasant.

The food was very tasty. I had bacalau with potatoes, spinach and asparagus. Delicious!
The white wine recommended with it was very suitable and would have absolutely convinced me on its own.

Definitely a restaurant that I would happily recommend visiting.“

“A couple of us went for dinner, we let ourselves be guided by the Google reviews and we didn't fail.
Very attentive and pleasant waiters, orders came out quickly and well even though the restaurant was full.
Apart from the typical starters that are typical of Portugal, they served us a Broa bread filled with cheese and mayonnaise that was delicious, we also ordered a seafood rice for two that was delicious and quite a lot for the price. That, plus a bottle of wine and a bottle of water, with coffee and dessert, were about €66 for both.
Highly recommended.

Parking: Parking on the street, right in front of the beach.“

“Cozy atmosphere, very pleasant sea view and I don't think they take advantage of the location to charge high prices, like other restaurants do. Very good monkfish rice, but in my opinion a little too salty and with a Knorr flavor. There was nothing lost in reducing the salt. However, in my group not everyone thought this. I also ate fried cuttlefish with cuttlefish ink. In my opinion, the name of the menu is misleading. For me, it's stewed, sautéed cuttlefish, anything but fried. In the Algarve there is a dish of fried cuttlefish with ink, I thought I had ordered that, and then it had nothing to do with it. Or at least the employees should explain that it is stewed when the customer asks. We were disappointed that it wasn't what we expected. But it was good. A good restaurant. The meat looked divine, it's for a next visit. I recommend the visit“

“This is the place where we ate some of the best seafood and fish in Portugal. We waited an hour to get in but it was worth it. 95 percent of the people who eat there are locals. We were the only tourists! Everything was delicious, we ate several items for two people and drank two bottles of wine, all for 90 euros! I recommend !“

“Small and fine restaurant at the river mouth. Very friendly and attentive service. We had Pataniscas as a starter, these were freshly baked and served hot. A dream!
The food was beautifully presented and was very tasty. The side dishes were also enough! The house wine went great with it!“

“Our group of four ate lunch here after meeting Américo and Maria the day before, when they were closed but invited us in to talk about their gluten-free meal options for our one member with a celiac condition. We all had fish dishes that were, quite simply, remarkable. The fish was prepared very well and Maria served us at the table. The potatoes that accompanied the meal were also prepared perfectly. The atmosphere was homelike and we were all very-warmly received. We definitely recommend and will return!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options to accommodate a celiac condition.“

“Unbeatable quality-price. The executive menu is fantastic, with exceptional quality and a very competitive price. Highly recommended!. Unbeatable quality-price. The executive menu is fantastic, with exceptional quality and a very competitive price. Highly recommended!“

“A very warm welcome to a classy but casual restaurant. After being seated we were shown a platter of fish caught locally that day to help us choose! Very tasty starters followed by superb fish mains and fresh veg. I could actually taste the sea in my bream. Could see the kitchen from our table - it all looked relaxed. Reasonably priced Algarve wine to accompany. After coffees we were offered complimentary glasses of port. Superb food, great staff and fantastic value especially for the quality on offer.“

“In Italy we say that a restaurant is judged by its bathroom. For the first time, here in my life I found music.
Wonderful venue. Wonderful service, kind and joyful.
Delicious food, cooked with care and love. A stone's throw from the ocean.
What more could you ask for?“

“A great place to eat on the water front. We came across this restaurant whilst walking past and decided to give it a try. We are glad we did. We were seated inside on a very hot day which was ideal. The waiter was very friendly and guided us through the menu. For a starter we had olives, a selection of breads with tuna pate. For the main we shared the local cod dish with prawns etc., topped with potatoes. This was delicious and we ate the whole dish !. For desert we had the tart which the waiter poured whisky on which made for a superb finish !. We also had a bottle of the local white wine. We would definitely visit again.“

“I sometimes go for a mixed grill dinner. The staff are friendly, very accessible and the price is also attractive.So far I have liked it, because it is well served.The desserts are also good (pudding, oreo mousse, biscuit cake)Sometimes the restaurant is very busy and the noise becomes unsustainable.“

“Restaurant serving meat and fish dishes.
We ordered meat, it was very tender and well grilled, but a little cold. The potatoes also came cold, but they brought others that were already hot.
The lady who serves is a restaurant professional, at this point the service was impeccable, without flaws.“

“Excellent restaurant for poor people like me. The food is fantastic, the price is even better, 6 meals with coffee, soup, dish of the day, bread and coffee. The service is also excellent. It should have a Michelin star. Highly recommended. Top du top?“

“Establishment located at the entrance to the campsite despite a lot of people the service is super pleasant and fast and always a kind word the dishes are well served and these are good and the shows are super good and of good quality. We had a very good stay. We will return in September.“

“Small place off the beaten path. We went about 1:30 on a Wednesday and there was us and a few locals. Service was excellent, menus in both English and Portuguese. We went with the steak on a stone (house special) and were not disappointed. The steak was fantastic and came with 4 different sauces. The dessert to try is their Sericaia: flour, eggs, milk, sugar and sprinkled with cinnamon. Such a simple recipe but sooo good. Not too sweet, like a pudding/flan texture. We tend to stay away from busy tourist places and find the local ones - this was one and so glad we stumbled across it“

“When we pulled up we nearly drove on. However we live in Portugal and know that some of the best places don't look much from the outside. So glad we stopped. We had fantastic whole grilled sea bass and whole grilled sea bream (robelo and dourada) served with portuguese vegetables and delicious grill roasted potatoes. The grilling of the fish was perfect, moist and charred in the right places. Fish was on the bone but cut in a way so you didn't need to flip it to eat it. They also have great dessert with my wife living the camel drool ( google it). All in all a great typically Portuguese meal. Simple and delicious.“

“Mega delicious food! At first we were confused about where we saw the prices and luckily we only ordered one portion of fish for two, which was completely sufficient! Fantastic location with good weather!!! Space on the terrace with the dogs!“

“After a long wait in line outside with a one-year-old child, a waitress with an unhappy face came out and waved her hands at us, indicating there were no available seats. We remained standing and after another 10 minutes, a man called us to a table. The woman constantly rolled her eyes and walked around with a displeased look as if we had done something to her. Madam, if you’re having a bad day, don’t ruin the customers’ mood. You work for them. If you don't like something, go to the beach and weave fishing nets.

Everything else was excellent.
The rest of the staff was very friendly. The fish and pastries were amazing.

Kid-friendliness: Read the comment.“

“I had the pleasure of having lunch at the Alfândega restaurant and I must share my enthusiasm for this exceptional experience. This restaurant embodies everything I love to find in Portugal: authentic, tasty and generous Portuguese cuisine.The manager, a true enthusiast of Portuguese cuisine, spares no effort to offer his guests a memorable gastronomic experience. His passion for good food is reflected in every dish he presents. Furthermore, his passion for music adds a unique touch to the restaurant's atmosphere.During my visit, I noticed that this restaurant is a very popular place, which sometimes means a long queue, especially on Sundays. This is undeniable proof of its growing popularity and well-deserved reputation.The quality of food served is truly exceptional, especially the seafood. The freshness of the fish is incomparable, which is understandable since we are in Vila do Conde, next to the ocean, with its dedicated fishermen. Every mouthful reminded me of the proximity to the sea and the commitment to quality that this restaurant embodies.In short, the Alfândega restaurant was able to capture the essence of Portuguese cuisine. My experience there was memorable and I highly recommend all lovers of authentic cuisine to enjoy this excellent experience.“

“We ate some super mussels and some very well-made sardines, with roasted peppers and a little salad, washed down with beer, 20 euros per person and we were full. Be careful with the starter they give you. It seems like a free appetizer but it is not. If you eat it they charge you.

Parking: Nearby there is parking without problems on the street“

They provide traditional Portuguese food to order for dine-in or take-out. The price may vary. It depends on what food you order. The staff is nice. You can pay in cash or multibanco.“

“Great experiences!!! A beautiful place, very good food, very friendly staff, beautiful decor... an environment that transports us to another country ... in front of the sea, for me, the focal point! We left there, always with good energy and a "clean soul"! Perfect combination!!! I adore!! Both for lunch and dinner, even for a coffee! ?????“

“(Translated by Google) Quite pleasant, with airy and conducive to socializing. Good food. Sympathy.(Original)Bastante agradável, com local arejado e propicio ao convivio. Boa comida. Simpatia.

Parking: Facilidade de estacionar gratuitamente nas imediações.“

“Food quality is amazing. We had the beef and pork and the taste was incredible. Be warned, the size of dishes is very large so if you are not a big eater think about sharing one dish between two people. The atmosphere was great but 4 stars because we felt music was a bit loud. The service was very good and they treat you very well. We had a great time and we recommend this restaurant. The price is not cheap but for the amount they give you and quality, it is fair. This restaurant is not for vegetarians though. Free parking on premises or on the road.“

“The food offers are interesting. The place is well located.

However there is an issue with the staff, especially the girls, and I mean all of them.
They don't pay attention to the customers or their requests. Barely do any follow up when stuff is missing.

If the owner/manager is present at all (didn't notice anyone doing any managing all of the times I have been there) then he needs to pay more attention to the waiters and go around the room and terrace to check on customers.

The service is very inconsistent and the complaints that I see here regarding the waiting times, tables that are available for waiting guests that are not informed and dirty tables have all been observed by myself too.

The feeling I have is that the place has great potential, the kitchen staff seems to work very hard but the waiters end up ruining part of the experience. And these details are being missed by management.

Regarding the food complaints that I see here, most of them are unfair and it comes down to people not knowing how to order... Or how to eat...

Summing it up, the fact that the place has a high volume of customers (because the food is obviously good) and not enough waiters that are well trained, means waiting times and missed requests.

The feeling that I have is that most of the waiters have zero experience / training, are basically here for a short duration "summer job", do not care about the customers or the service, and unable to manage the volume of customers.“
