37 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Cercal

“We had dinner here twice and loved the local, laidback, traditional vibes and caring service.
The olives and bread were delicious.
We particularly loved the choco (squid) and white fish (Galo). Also the house white wine in a jug was so delicious.
Such great value for money for home cooked food served with love.“

“If you've heard of "hidden gems" this little place is a hidden gem. A simple kitchen where the flavors of the dishes and good preparation are exalted! The house wine is delicious and is able to release your deepest declarations of love. Plus you know the cuisine is authentic when you see the locals who always come to eat here.The black pork meat is highly recommended, incredibly tender, compared to the best restaurants I've ever been to. And the chilli sauce is very tasty.“

“A unique place in a unique environment! Everything is exclusive, the decoration, the environment, the service, the food. We had skate with chickpeas and pork neck with beans. Very elaborate dishes and cooked with great skill. The dessert, chocolate mousse with caramelized orange, was the finishing touch to a perfect dinner. Exquisite!!!“

“The octopus very delicious. I didn't like the lagareiro cod, it was very bland (I think they went too far with the desalting) and it came with very little pepper or onion compared to the photos or compared to other dishes that were served to other customers.“

“Well decorated, air-conditioned restaurant with a family atmosphere. Starters: octopus salad and game sausage + Excellent flavor and consistency of cooking the octopus. Main course: monkfish rice + very well done, accompanied by drops of house-made chilli and a good rosé wine. Dessert: farófias and sericaia, + divine..“

“Four years after our first visit we are still very impressed. My husband's pork cheek was amazing. I loved my fried squid and my 12 year old loved her carbonara. So sad it's our last night. We would eat here every night. Great value and lovely owners. We only hope they are still here for our next visit. We will certainly be back. We love the quality and tranquility of the place. Thank you. X“

“Dinner on a special date, without prior booking, with high expectations. High but fair prices, taking into account the quantity, but above all the quality of the products presented. And in the month of August! Good space (it's just a shame it's not air-conditioned), family atmosphere, fast and professional service, great friendliness (any debut is a two-way study) and in the end, a more friendly farewell like come back whenever you're welcome! I advise.“

“We will definitely be back! We ate some eggs with alheira as a starter. The eggs were at the ideal point (not overcooked) and the sausage had crispy pieces! Delicious:)
The main dishes followed: Cheeks of the Day that were literally melting they were so soft and the Lagartos with Alentejo crumbs and some equally delicious vegetables.
The end was a freshly burnt Milk Cream which was good (but not extraordinary)
It is recommended to book, especially if you come in the summer!!“

“We visited this restaurant twice during our stay in Albufeira between Christmas and New Year. We had a fabulous lunch on both days although they didn't offer a childrens menu they were able to make a reduced portion for them. The service was excellent and so was the meal!“

“We ate there 3 times. It was excellent! Price-performance ratio is right here, even if it's not a cheap restaurant, the quality and creativity justifies it. The service was extremely friendly, so small deficiencies in experience and professionalism were more than compensated for by young staff. Be sure to order one of the outstanding desserts!!! The atmosphere is stylish and modern, I also liked the playlist :). We went there with our baby and they were extremely child friendly. So I absolutely recommend that you should eat here if you are in Porto Covo.

Vegetarian options: I like to eat vegetarian and the selection is rarely large or creative. Here the menu is designed to be balanced with vegetarian, fish and meat. Everyone will be happy here!“

“We had read very good recommendations and it doesn't surprise me. It is recommended to reserve because although the place is small and there are several tables, it is very popular.
The food is homemade, but elaborate. They treated us with great love and dedication. We ordered squid with hake roe and stuffing that enhanced its flavor. Then clams with a fish similar to hake and a sauce similar to green. For dessert (it's worth making room for) the chocolate mouse and cheesecake with pistachios. The price was €60.
Congratulations to the chef and the entire team. It is a wonder!“

“Just like the name, it really is a true Oasis, full of flavor and gastronomic quality.

Parking: Located on dirt, very typical of maritime areas, but easily accessible.

Wheelchair accessibility: It has minimal accessibility.“

“Lots of options to choose from and all the food tastes fantastic, in a very welcoming atmosphere. The space is not very large, considering the number of people who come to them, but it still has a good terrace, a good room and a small terrace.
The price could be more appealing, but even so, it is one of the most affordable restaurants in that area.
I highly recommend it, as you will love it ?“

“We waited a relatively long time for the food, but given the view it was completely excusable. Since we sat outside, we had to wait in line to get a drink at the counter. My companion's food was a bit bland, but my mix of pork and shrimp was very tasty.“

“We both had steaks (with different sauces) and enjoyed them. The waiter (son of the owner??) was super nice without being intrusive. I had another wonderfully tasting dessert made from egg whites, the name of which I unfortunately can't remember. One star deduction for the ambience, as the small room is very cramped and it is too bright (for my taste). To be fair, it has to be said that many restaurants in Portugal are similar.“

“A super nice dinner?
Food was delicious??
We chose some Bulhão Pato clams, which were delicious! This was followed by a monkfish cataplana with clams and shrimp, equally delicious? Well-balanced quantities and price to match€€
Very friendly and attentive staff? I recommend it and we will definitely repeat.“

“It is without a doubt a typical Portuguese family barbecue. The best roast chicken I've ever had, as well as good side dishes. The price... unbeatable. It is recommended that you place an order to guarantee your meal. Open for takeaway only. If you are in Milfontes, it is a mandatory stop to get food.“

“Typical Alentejo restaurant, nothing fancy, but very welcoming.
It seemed like a family business even down to the jobs, there was a girl who was very friendly, while the two men we saw were very helpful but had few words or smiles.
However, the food was divine, we had octopus rice for dinner, the best I've ever had in my entire life, and super brothy had to be eaten with a spoon ? our son ate mixed grill, also super tasty, freshly roasted meats and homemade fries.
Desserts were also good, everything homemade, however I found both my egg white tart and my husband's homemade pudding extremely sweet... ?

An experience to repeat for the wonderful food...??“

“When a mother and daughter take care of us it says it all.
Wonderful, sublime and enchanting. From the excellent food, to the service full of friendliness and dedication. With a full heart and soul to have the honor of being able to eat at O ​​Amândio.
Dona Júlia and Martinha, thank you very much for a holiday full of good and delicious food.
On the Alentejo Coast there is nothing better.

“I'm from the North (Braga) I ordered some grilled sardines, they were very, very good, they have a very extensive menu... I looked for some restaurants in the center and tried them out... quality, price and menu are really good... I strongly advise young employees but with excellent education and professionalism, not to mention a wonderful view over the pier, congratulations.“

“Fried cuttlefish for the main course, makes up for the short wait, adjacent to a busy restaurant, you know, well-fried cuttlefish, spectacular mayonnaise and garlic sauce and wonderful french fries! Even better is the attractive price, competing with others nearby. Thank you for your welcome Dª Zézinha!“

“The best restaurant in the area.
Spectacular food for me, rice, fish...anything you want and more.
And the attention is 10.
Special attention to Beatriz who is a show girl and the boss Ricardo.
I love this Res“

“Excellent option in Vila Nova de Milfontes, with good value for money if you can enjoy the all-you-can-eat buffet, which includes salads, soups, hot dishes, non-alcoholic drinks, dessert and coffee. I recommend the steak on the stone (the buffet includes one per person). The restaurant has a view of the sea.“

“Exquisite food, super friendly service. We waited a bit to get a table, I thought the method was great, they sign you up as you arrive and when there is a free table that matches the number of people you are, they tell you to sit down. Don't miss the desserts. I would repeat with pleasure“

“Very friendly restaurant, very well located and with great views of the sea.
Very friendly and attentive team, the service was incredible.
The starters and desserts were great.
The main course option, the first two choices were unfortunately no longer available. And the choice we made, unfortunately, wasn't wonderful either. We hope to return next time for better luck.
Good wine list.

It's worth the visit!
Reservation mandatory, at least on weekends during the summer, or else an hour wait at the door…“

“Informal place but ideal for the place, along the coast with a menu that is not huge but of excellent quality and the dishes are all very tasty and good. The courteous and kind owners guided and supported us in choosing the dishes. A pleasant and tasty surprise for lunch with friends traveling from Lisbon to the Algarve. 5 stars deserved. Right price.“

“Visited O David at lunch time and had a great seat with a view of the cobbled walkway outside and a view of the Charcoal Barbecue Grill which has a clear , transparent viewing screen in front so you can watch whilst your lunch is being cooked.The Chicken Piri Piri was cooked absolutely perfectly and was super tasty.I had mine with Chips and Salad which again was lovely...I ordered a Glass of Red wine which was gorgeous...At lunchtime O David does a lunch deal of €6.90...Amazing value. I would definitely recommend to visit this Typically Portuguese Restaurant.“

“Conceito moderno e bastante interessante. Bem situado no centro da vila. Atendimento de excelência. E muitos parabéns ao cozinheiro(a). Para além da entrada que escolhemos (ovos mexidos com farinheira), as tirinhas de porco estavam muito saborosas e as migas muito aprovadas. Recomendo!“

“(Translated by Google) Ladies and gentlemen, what food!!!All very well served, delicious and the service was courteous and friendly. I recommend and will return whenever possible. Observation: Rump on the stone, it is to be eaten kneeling.(Original)Senhoras e senhores, que comida!!!Tudo muito bem servido, delicioso e o atendimento foi cortês e simpático. Recomendo e retornarei sempre que possível. Observação: Alcatra na pedra, é de comer ajoelhado.“

“Small portions, average prices, low quality
ATTENTION. When they give you the bill they add the olives, bread and butter for a total of 13 euros even if they don't bring it to us
Scammers!
Highly not recommended!“

“Very pleasant atmosphere, rustic, well decorated and easily accessible. I'm Brazilian and I came to try the pizzas from Portugal and I really liked them, they were light and very tasty. The flavor I ordered was half Al Mano (Mozzarella, ham, shrimp, seafood and corn) and Di Pollo (Mozzarella, chicken, mushrooms and cream cheese). The service from the staff is excellent, I was served by João and Leandro, both of whom were super friendly. I recommend visiting the Pizzeria and the prices are really cheap. It's definitely worth taking your family. Congratulations?

Parking: Several spaces on the street to park.“

“Good food, well served and friendly people. I go often. I recommend

Parking: Milfontes close to the beach, spacious, airy with terrace, impeccable bathroom ?

Wheelchair accessibility: Space for wheelchair users“

“When we got there the employees didn't seem to be very happy with our presence, in fact when we arrived the kitchen was still closed but they gave us the option of staying and drinking something while we waited.
After lunch, they became more friendly.
The food is very good
And the service turned out to be good too.
We ordered the mixed fish which was wonderful and the shrimp curry which was also 5 stars“

“We went to this restaurant by chance.A typical restaurant with good cuisine.I don't give it 5 stars because really in terms of hygiene it's not the best. My glass came back dirty and the fried cuttlefish already tasted a bit like burnt oil.But other than that, it was a pleasant experience.“

“We had a very good experience, straight off the beach and dinner at 6pm is not normal but very welcomed by this restaurant. A very good wine list and the option to sample before committing to a bottle is a great idea. We enjoyed Amêijoas à Bulhão Pato and Arroz de Lingueirão com Camarão my partner is Portuguese and she assured me it was as good as I thought.

Parking: Mid July plenty of spaces

Kid-friendliness: Swings out back

Wheelchair accessibility: Rock and roll ramp“

“Good selection of fish dishes to suit different tastes. Very well served portions. Please note that everything is drizzled with plenty of olive oil...
Fresh and tasty fish!
Friendly service, a little noisy atmosphere.
Recommended for families!“

“We arrived at 2220 and were served quickly, the food was good, I just didn't give it more stars because the fries weren't homemade. The portions are generous and the choco was great?! The people who work at the restaurant are very attentive. It was worth it “
