Restaurants near Monchique

“Un poulet Piri piri digne de ce nom. Il est excellent, tendre et bien cuit, avec son petit goût fumé et le piri piri maison pour les amateurs de repas pimenté. Un restaurant typique sur le bord de la route et un voyage culinaire dans un cadre magnifique. Un accueil très chaleureux de la part des serveurs. À ne pas manquer si vous passez dans les alentours de Monchique ????”

“We stopped here to shelter from the rain and found a friendly traditional restaurant with excellent service. We just wanted a light grill so we had black pork ina traditional sauce of olive pile garlic and oregano and Piri piri chicken. The extra hot sauce was good for both. A nice place to stop for some good traditional fare”

“Cute shop selling sandwiches, coffee, wine & beer and local meats and cheese plates. Owner doesn’t speak much English but was very friendly and even gave us a free dessert. Very inexpensive and the place to do for a wide selection of Medronho, the local liquor.”

“Food is home made, fresh and goodService is not as good. Have to wait to be served, while others that get there after you are served first.Atmosphere is ok in the back dining room.”

“It’s a local place and they serve traditional dishes. Not touristy. Good portions. Fast service. Excellent cheese cake. Good value lunch (it’s super close to my very good dentist Bright dental clinic, that’s how I discovered it)”

“Lovely place to eat with super friendly staff and a great menu. The acai bowl was amazing. The young girl serving us spoke perfect English and was incredibly happy to help. Highly recommend this place.”

“Original and unusual experience.The only dish is Chicken, delicious succulent Piri Piri served with the chefs own recipe Piri Piri sauce, Fries and salad.Call for reservations and cash only. But it’s a bargain ! Not far from Monchique Resort , easy to miss and difficult to park but definitely worth taking a trip if you want authentic Piri Piri chicken.”

“Incredibly delicious coffee, reasonable prices, a wonderful view and very nice service. I definitely recommend visiting, you will appreciate a cold draft beer after a long journey on foot.”

“Excellent for the lighter meal we wanted, although you could have had a larger meal on the substantial menu. Friendly staff, great atmosphere - and that was outside.”

“I visit every year and have never been disappointed. The best homemade pao com chouriço made fresh each day in the clay oven outside. Very nice atmosphere in the woods/hills of monchique. A little pricey but to be expected in the area .”

“Good restaurant with typical food from the region, with a large and inviting room. It was already 3pm, it took a while for them to serve us, but in the end we had a great meal.”

“Stopped by spontaneously and ordered two pizzas here. The edge is super crispy and the topping doesn't melt either.
A great pizza, a real insider tip!”

“Very nice café with friendly service and located in a nice square. The affogato was great, and there were small pastries too - if you like something with almonds, this is the place for you.”

“Excellent service, well served dishes and an affordable price for the Portuguese people. I was in love and amazed to find such good quality at an affordable price in the Algarve!”

“We came across the restaurant by chance - amazing fish, big portions, friendly staff, great atmosphere and excellent value. Well worth a visit - and would travel to eat there again.”

“Delicious traditional food. My wife had the bacalhau de nata (cod in potatoes and cream) and I had the pork Alentejana (pork bites with veg and clams). Both were delicious. The pork had pickled veg and a dusting of cilantro. House red wine (1/2 litre), bread, olives, two coffees. About 22 Euro. These plates were the daily specials. Side salad came pre-oiled and vinegared, so if that's not your thing then let them know. Owners speak English. Jazz in the background. Cozy decor. Kind staff. Will definitely return when we're in the area.”

“If you ever get lost in this side of the Algarve, stopping by Cafe Cansado will save your life. Great value, super service and a relaxing atmosphere. Have an espresso or a beer and enjoy Portugal’s hospitality.”

“Typical rural and farmer's restaurant where we really enjoyed the local cuisine. The restaurant would serve as a base for the workers in the region. It is an 8' drive outside the town of Silves. We arrived at 2:00 PM and could only choose from one dish ? The BBQ is next to the terrace and smells delicious. Very democratic prices and generous local wines. With a bit of luck you can communicate with the boy in English! An absolute must!”

“This is an original bar/restaurant for locals. Prices are very cheap, food is excellent. The view is great. Go there for sunset and enjoy the simple quality of life.”

“For me, it continues to be the best seafood restaurant in the country and in the Algarve they are ambassadors of good traditional seafood
Mr Rui is an excellent person and a great ambassador for our Algarve”

“Staff spoke English well and were very nice. They had an English menu with a separate page for the vegan/vegetarian options. I had the vegetarian burger which I really enjoyed.”

“Only had something to drink here, something with lemon. Very refreshing!
Completely understandable, but it is a shame for the view that there are all kinds of electricity wires hanging for the panoramic view.”

“We found this address in le petit futé.
And fortunately we followed the advice because there were few people, but frankly, a menu of the day for €12 is worth it!
Good welcome, typical restaurant with Portuguese decor, simple and traditional dishes, cold beer, inexpensive wine, terrace in a small street
In short: only positive for us”

“Modern establishment with a well-integrated wooden terrace located in the center of the castle. Prices are correct. Placed on a pool of water with a pebble bottom.”

“Perfect environment! In the middle of nature, wonderful food and great service!!! We will definitely be back! Ok value for the quality, very well served! Congratulations ?”

“We stumbled upon this gem in our morning walk, and decided to eat here on our last night in Lisbon… absolutely beautiful… from start to finish the service the food atmosphere… the best we’ve had experienced and definitely will try the London branch as from Uk however we all said rather well travel to Lisbon again with revisiting this restaurant again thank you for all… even the wonderful service every dish was mouthwatering prime meats melts in the mouth and the Caipirinha cocktails ? to finish was amazing having the Brazilian cuisine in Brazil this is best to it … well done we look forward to seeing you again graciously thank you..”

“The staff are super friendly, they transmit an atmosphere of serious work. This restaurant was my go-to for good fast food a good ten years ago. And luckily it continues to be great. Of course, before you didn't pay for extra ingredients and now you do. What used to be possible to create unique burgers, as if it were a Subway inside a McDonald's. Still, they continue to invest in the Jumbo Menu, which I fully appreciate and fulfills its objectives. What a good fast food experience, which is rare. They deserve a lot of success, thank you, seriously.”

“We had a wonderful menu here tonight with fish soup and Dorade.Super fun service [Original] We hebben hier vanavond heerlijk een menu gehad met vissoep en dorade. Super leuke bediening”
