Restaurants in Lagos

“I had the vegetable curry and I liked the fact that they asked if I wanted it mild, medium or hot. It didn’t have as much veg as you get in some places, but it was delicious. The service was also very good.”

“This restaurant deserves all the stars in the world. The food is exceptional, a must try experience for everyone. It’s a symphony of tastes and colors, masterfully done. We had the chef’s menu and it blew us away. The staff were brilliant as well. They went above and beyond to create a memorable birthday for my partner. They brought champagne, an exquisite cake with a candle and they sang happy birthday. We got complimentary amuse bouche dishes as well. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is visiting Algarve and wants to try a superior dining experience or celebrate a special event.”

“Very well organized place. Places are limited and the turnout is always high. Upon arrival they divert you to the rooftop to drink an aperitif. When a table becomes available you can go down and eat a good variety of tapas, sandwiches (pregos) and very tasty main courses. The sangria is recommended: it doesn't follow the original recipe, but I found it to be a very successful fresh and summery version.”

“What delicious food! Everything tastes fresh and looks good!? service was good too, all nice staff. It was a bit warm, but what do you expect in Portugal…

Vegetarian options: You can choose to make several dishes vegetarian or vegan.”

“This pizzeria that we came across by chance was a very pleasant surprise. Delicious pizzas and an adorable owner (the waitress too). We were finishing our vacation and we said to ourselves that we were ending it in style.”

“Yummy food at a reasonable price, very varied menu with something for everyone. Chicken dishes were excellent - I had chicken tandoori and husband had the mixed grill.

Superb service as well, fast and lovely servers/waiters.

Would highly recommend!”

“Great, mainly Thai cuisine, very thoughtful service. Every single dish we ordered was very tasty and we were a group of five. Mango lassi was delicious. Recommend!”

“This place is incredible. The freshest ingredients that are super simple but create such massive flavor. I'm actually not a big pizza person, but this pizza is literally the best I've ever had. Great customer service as well. Please add this as one of your stops in Lagos, I promise, you won't regret it.”

“I went there two days in a row. The food is good and portions are filling, and the service was quick and efficient. Nothing to dislike. Updated from previous review on 2024-09-13”

“One of the best pizzerias I have ever been to, we come from Spain and are going to this area for the first time.
100% Italian ingredients, the pizzas were exquisite, the dough was very good and the Nutella pizza was also very good.
The waiters are very nice.
We had dinner there and it happened that there was a karaoke, after dinner we stayed for almost 2 more hours because there was a very good atmosphere.
I recommend 100%.”

“Great place for breakfast, staff are friendly and , as with most places around Lagos, are English speaking. We had toasties for breakfast, plus a couple of coffees each, couldn’t fault it. Full of locals whilst other places were quiet, which speaks volumes.”

“Absolutely excellent burgers!! So tasty and delicious. Be warned the chips are actual crisps not fries so just be aware when ordering. A really nice burger and the fish tacos were excellent.”

“Great place! Service is good, food really nice and it is just at the end of the crowded streets, but more quite which is good. Particularly loved the Frappé Peanut Better to take away ;) 100% recommended!”

“Great place and good burgers. Fries are very delicios. The bun is maybe the only shortfall but everything else great

Vegetarian options: Great vegan burger as well”

“The restaurant is located outside the center of Lagos, in a quiet area. There are few seats and this helps to guarantee a quiet and relaxed atmosphere and a very attentive and quality service. The waiter who served us was very friendly and good at recommending wine. The food is exceptional. We took Muxama de atum (perfect contrast between the saltiness of the tuna and the sweetness of the onion and orange), Camarao frito con ajo (not the breaded fried food you think but probably just fried in oil, with very good prawns and a amazing sauce), patanillas de bacalao (good), polvo at low temperature with batata duce (very tender, with an excellent combination with sweet potato, perhaps the best octopus ever eaten, really delicious). Fair price for the quality offered. I would stay here again and highly recommend it.”

“The service was excellent and the staff there are the nicest!

Vegetarian options: Large range of vegetarian options.

Kid-friendliness: Small kids menu.”

“Absolutely THE best evening spent at Atasca-te. The ambiance is warm and friendly while at the same time classy and elegant. The food….exquisite!! The service…superb! Highly recommend. LOVE LOVE LOVE”

“We arrived with no reservation and the place was busy, but they accommodated us. The food was delightful (try the chicken in clay pot), the service was excellent and friendly, and the ambiance was very nice. Would recommend this place.”

“Fresh and authentic cuisine. After trying our luck at a restaurant around the corner and unfortunately not getting a table, we asked the owner where he would like to eat. He recommended the Reis restaurant to us - the five of us just managed to get the last table. By 8 p.m. all the tables, inside and outside, were full and the line was getting longer and longer. Rightly so: there is fresh cataplana with plenty of excellent quality shrimp and mussels, and the rice stew with swordfish and shrimp was just as good. 40€ per dish for 2 people is almost too little considering the quantity and taste. Three people could be fed per pot. Our son (9 years old) had the pork steak with fig sauce - he ate it all, the sauce was so good and the meat was tender (he pushed the figs to the side ;)) We were very satisfied - the service was very friendly and accommodating. Great evening! (Total for 5 people with starters, main course and dessert + drinks 150€)”

“Love this place!! The chicken is seasoned to perfection and portioned well. The addition of lemon or piri piri sauce are both delicious. They also have plenty of side dishes on rotation. And to make it even better, try the fresh berry cheesecake. Heaps of seating options too - I recommend the upstairs terrace.”

“The best is the waiter who served us, very nice and super attentive to the kid. Both the tuna and cod tartare are spectacular, as well as the braised tuna and especially the cheese board. But above all, the chocolate mousse. The hour we had to wait is highly recommended.”

“Tienen bowls tostas y postres con opción vegano. El bowl estaba exquisito. Sin ninguna pega lo recomiendo. Las tortitas veganas con fruta, muy buenas. Precio asequible. Calidad precio buenísima. Updated from previous review on 2024-08-18”

“Absolutely delicious food! Busspa, the owner, came to see us at the end of our dinner and we had the loveliest time! This place has the best service, the freshest and most delicious flavors, and will make you feel like India moved to Portugal! Yeamen, our server, was absolutely fantastic, giving us the best recommendations on their menu!”

“Incredibly delicious food! Nice service! Went quickly! Toilets noticeably clean! Would come to Lagos again just to eat there again. There is also a large wine list! ?”

“One of the best in our entire Portugal trip. We had piri piri chicken, beef Mozambique, and a shrimp dish (I can't remember the name), and all of them tasted amazing. Even after returning home, we are still longing for them!”

“We travelled to Portugal for our nephew's wedding-like a movie!We went around Portugal for 2 weeks.We will be back to Lagos and the Viva Cozinha.We ate there 3 times and each was better than the last.The owners are wonderful and they truly care about their food and drinks.This was the highlight of our travels in Portugal-don't miss it.”

“RECOMMENDED!! You might pass by this restaurant at first glance, but they don't deserve that. Super friendly service, best steak I have eaten in a long time and all for a very reasonable price!!!”

“Very good restaurant to choose in Lagos. Local and authentic cuisine. Fresh and quality products. Tapas concept that allows you to taste several specialties. Dishes offered typical of the region. The octopus salad is great. Fast and very professional service. Excellent value for money. I recommend”

“Incredible food, both the fish (fresh) and the meat (juicy). A marvel. The atmosphere was very good and the staff were very attentive. The price was acceptable for the quantity and quality of the dishes. By the way, the dessert (fig cheese) brought back old memories of my childhood when my grandmother made such a delicacy. Congratulations”

“Fantastic restaurant/atmosphere and great guy who owns it. The steaks are absolutely amazing. Well worth having the fillet on the stone. We stayed for a week in the area and had three evening meals there, that's how good it is. Some of the negative comments here are a bit odd. Go to relax and enjoy, with a little humor. The service is as you would expect from a quality restaurant, not rushed and not slow. Cash only!”

“DELICIOUS! This was one of my favourite restaurants during our stay Lagos. We ordered a few starters to share, and each of them were really good (the octopus was incredible- a MUST. The flaming chorizo was also very good). The vibe was great, and the staff were super friendly. If I ever visit Lagos again, I’m definitely coming back to Barbosa!”

“A restaurant with a fantastic product at a very good price. We ordered barnacles, Sapateira and oysters, everything was very delicious.

The service was very pleasant and very attentive, the only "but" we could find is the location, it is not the best to be honest, we stopped there because we were in Lagos and reviewing all the restaurants with the best scores, it is the one that caught our attention the most. attention.

We left very satisfied and would probably repeat if we were in the area.”

“Absolutely delicious (cash only!) We read reviews so we did the 20 min walk. Arrived and ordered but didn’t have cash. Oops! So we walked 10 min to an ATM. Returned and our meal was hot and ready waiting for us! My husband has been holding on to a childhood memory of a steak sandwich from Portugal. He absolutely loved the bifana (turns out it is pork, not beef) with onions. It fulfilled his craving!! I had a really tasty ham and cheese tosta. And only €2.40. Great value. Sweet staff. Delicious food. Locals cafe, not a restaurant atmosphere (at least during the day). Great for food. Not a hangout bar.”

“Good food and friendly treatment. A waitress attended to us in Spanish the entire time. The rice with shrimp and the black linguine were very good. My favorite was the pork balls.
Easy table is taken for dinner.”

“Excellent quality food and it is cooked and served well. Modern, simple and very clean environment. Menu with medium assortment which is synonymous with product quality. Few dishes but of quality. The restaurant is high end for those seen in Lagos.”

“Very pretty, partly sophisticated interior, very air-conditioned in the upper room at the back. The food was very good, plentiful, very nice wine selection at fair prices.”

“Delicious meal, especially the fish (golden bream with vegetables). It was one of the most beautifully cooked pieces of fish I’ve ever had, with a generous selection of roast vegetables to accompany it. Lovely service too! I loved the location in a pretty square, a bit quieter than the centre of the old town. Highly recommend!”

“It was a pleasant dinner, made up of very good and well presented mixed Tapas. They are all very kind and helpful, there was a bit of initial confusion with the dishes but nothing that makes this place not worth trying. The wine is excellent. ”

“We went for dinner since most central places had a long wait and it was already late. The place was fine, normal Italian. But it took them a long time to bring us the food and even though we ordered only one dish each, it is true that they later apologized because several tables arrived at the same time.”

“We have been to this restaurant a few times before but in the summer. It was busy noisy and the waiter was rude. This time everything was fabulous and the waiters could not have been more charming. We will certainly return but only in the winter months.”

“This restaurant upped their game. Don’t believe the reviews about long waiting times, the service was friendly and fast. Food was delicious. The only thing that could be better is that they can dress up the outside seating area a little bit more, other than that we had a lovely night.

Dietary restrictions: All allergens are mentioned on the menu with each dish.”

“Best place here around, especially for pizza”

“Read the reviews and thought it looked like a nice place. It was absolutely wonderful! Very friendly for us and our kids, sitting outside amongst local Portuguese, which is always a good sign. The chorizo cooked at the table was a highlight, and the garlic prawns and patatas bravas were really fresh. Kids loved the thin-based pizzas too. Very much recommended, up a lovely wee back street”

“Lovely casual atmosphere, food well priced and good quality.
However, on the salty side, but that seems common in Portugal

Vegetarian options: Present

Parking: On a busy road, I would recommend parking above Lagos, against the city wall. The people there ask between 1 and 5 euros. Then walk to the restaurant through Lagos”

“Basic fare but well cooked. Mushrooms in garlic and prawns in garlic both delicious. Sardines were plentiful and cooked to perfection. The monkfish in rice was good. Perhaps stick to fish rather than steak. The Algarve tart should not be missed.”

“Only stayed for one drink, order was wrong with one item and missing another. After asking to swap the drink and where the other was, we got the drinks but with an extra one as well. This was corrected but they did add the extra drink onto the bill, which again we had to correct. Seems like a lot of things to go wrong on one drink order, maybe I was unlucky.

Atmosphere was great, live music was on and the band was great, perhaps the bar staff were just distracted, we will give it another go”

“Hands down the best vegan sushi I’ve ever tasted. Vegan Temaki, Tofu Nigiri and California spring rolls were my personal favourites. This was the first time I’ve been to an ‘all you can eat’ restaurant and I was very impressed with the options!”

“Simplicity turned into greatness. We had dinner on the terrace, it is a typical Portuguese place without Instagram bullshit or decoration, we are the usual ones. The service, the people and the food….a spectacle, and very good value for money. To repeat (grandma's homemade food)”

“I've been coming to this establishment for the past 25 years it's a great place to stop and watch the world go by. The service is always very good, the menu is excellent and a reasonable price.”

“Great staff, lovely dog & different flavour pastel de nata's. Nice, warm pastels with delicious unique flavours. They do sell out though so if you are thinking about going tomorrow, just get them today.”

“The meat toast ? excellent and the service
There are only smokers on the terrace
I would have liked to sit outside without breathing smoke ?
Thank you”

“We were set a task to find Croissanteria 29 and I am so glad we did. Just off the main road. Croissants of all types. All fresh. This small dwelling is a gem the owners are a one off. I will be going back for sure.”

“Fantastic cocktails, best in Lagos and worth the extra cost! Try it! Sweet staff, friendly and funny. Good music. The only negative is that it us impossible to stop after one drink, the you end up staying until the end! ?”

“Delivery from this restaurant through Uber or Boltfood is quick, however if we eat at the establishment it takes a VERY LONG TIME but really... I don't recommend going there to eat, order! The food is very good.”

“Food portions are very big and very tasty. However, we waited a 40-50 minutes just to make an order. The waitress was really unmotivated, didn‘t even ask for drinks, although it was very hot. She didn‘t make an attempt to clean the table, which was dirty. Also, what is really disturbing, is the woman right in front with her artisan store. She sells all the time, screams and even tried to get us into her store, while we were waiting to be served.”

“So yummy! The duo making the ice cream is so friendly. Must visit Rolly’s if you’re in Lagos. My boyfriend and I went almost everyday during out trip. The owners even remembered us and our orders.”

“The best place to watch sport in Lagos

Sagres is always fresh and always coming out.

Food with flavor

Sympathy”

“Had a great full breakfast with eggs, toast, and bacon. Latte was excellent. Others with me enjoyed the burger, fries, and omelet. Close to the bus stop. Walking distance to the harbor and market shops.”

“(Translated by Google) Not so big small bar ideal for aperitifs and evening meeting good and abundant appetizers accompanied by cocktails or an excellent sangria to try the tapas comfortable environment with background music recommended(Original)Baretto non tanto grande ideale per aperitivi e ritrovo serale buoni e abbondanti stuzzichini accompagnati da cocktails o da un'ottima sangria da provare le tapas ambiente confortevole con musica di sottofondo consigliato”

“This is the place to go of an evening in Lagos. Great drinks (imaginative cocktails like the Trinidad and tabasco-yum!). Lose yourself in the parties and games. Big big screen and the owners are devoted football fans that always respect your game day. Dance dance dance and laugh laugh laugh with the best hosts in the town. Love you guys, will always return on me hols! Xx”

“In the last year it has become quite expensive.

Vegetarian options: There is usually a noodle or quinoa dish with vegetables.

Parking: On the street”

“Technobar, which is a good place to start the evening because of the low drink prices. After closing at 2 you can go to the opposite InsideOut, which is open until 4.”

“Very good bar, very very good music!I can in no way confirm previous reviews about aggressive behavior. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who argue as soon as they have a drink. This is simply not tolerated by the owners of the establishments in Portugal.”

“Nice pub with character and good service. Delicious cod, chips and peas and a nice pint to go with it. Considering this is in a vacation area the prices are very reasonable although I have to say my wife’s mushy peas are much better but overall would recommend visiting.”

“We travelled to Portugal for our nephew's wedding-like a movie!We went around Portugal for 2 weeks.We will be back to Lagos and the Viva Cozinha.We ate there 3 times and each was better than the last.The owners are wonderful and they truly care about their food and drinks.This was the highlight of our travels in Portugal-don't miss it.”

She didn‘t make an attempt to clean the table, which was dirty. Also, what is really disturbing, is the woman right in front with her artisan store. She sells all the time, screams and even tried to get us into her store, while we were waiting to be served.”

“The food is SPECTACULAR. I recommend booking in advance.

Parking: At lunchtime, parking is VERY DIFFICULT since it is next to the beach, but at night we had no problem finding a place.”

“Went there for the first time yesterday. Extra early because we didn't feel like looking at it for long, which is certainly possible. Prices for food and drinks are really cheap in comparison. What is a plus is that the toilets are extremely clean compared to other restaurants. We will definitely come back. ? ??. Unfortunately I have to take something off. On the third visit, most of the dishes suddenly became 2 to 2.50 more expensive. I also found it inappropriate that visitors came in wearing bathing suits, towels, tents, balls, etc. A pity, ...”

“Very good service, the waiters speak several languages ​​including French. A beautiful terrace in a pedestrian street. The dishes are quality and plentiful. The bill for 4 people is very reasonable. After the main course we were no longer hungry but we gave in to the desserts because we were feeling good.
I strongly advise French people passing through, there is a bit of a wait in the evening

Parking: There are paid public parking lots, you would get 3/4€ for a full evening, it’s time to save for your leisure activities”

“Good food and friendly treatment. A waitress attended to us in Spanish the entire time. The rice with shrimp and the black linguine were very good. My favorite was the pork balls.
Easy table is taken for dinner.”

“Solid food, fast service for 95% of dishes. It gets busy. None of my dishes came out late but one of our party waited a while for one particular dish. I wouldn’t sweat it since it’s all you can eat.
My only complaint was the salmon was not good. I shied away from any raw fish dishes after that but luckily there’s plenty to choose from if you don’t want any raw fish.
I HIGHLY recommend their tempura. I was very impressed with every tempura dish I ordered. Their chicken curry and egg fried rice was also very impressive.

Dietary restrictions: Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options.

Parking: Large parking garage nearby”

“Absolutely THE best evening spent at Atasca-te. The ambiance is warm and friendly while at the same time classy and elegant. The food….exquisite!! The service…superb! Highly recommend. LOVE LOVE LOVE”

The food is quite average in flavor and at somewhat high prices.”

“I really liked the interior, the staff was very friendly & the ordering/pay system via App worked well. I chose one of the menus for ~13€ which included the avocado toast (added tomatoes 2€), the bliss ball & a fresh juice. Everything was yummy & worth the money I think.”
