50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Pera

“Fabulous restaurant.

Small restaurant hidden in the streets of Pera, completely distant from the classic tourist restaurants of Armacao.
A good choice of dishes, absolutely of quality and with fair prices. The kindness and niceness of all the staff was fantastic, both in welcoming us and in helping us with explanations of the various dishes in both Italian and English.
The homemade desserts are also fabulous.
Spotlessly clean and welcoming.
Absolutely recommended, especially for those looking for something authentic away from the confusion.
It was a truly excellent dinner.“

“I recommend +++ this great restaurant. If you are looking for calm during this summer period, you are in the right place. Cocktails very well served, great food, the dishes were excellent (octopus and pasta with beef and vegetables, really very good), the service impeccable and the waiters very friendly. We had a great evening away from the crowds and the bustle of the coast this summer. Come through the door of this great establishment, you won't regret it.“

“Hello
We arrived without a reservation and for the first time, the interest in us being able to have dinner was worth valuing. Very good food. The entire excellent work team especially mentioned Patricia for her cordial treatment and empathy. Greetings“

“We hebben hier in augustus heerlijk gegeten boven in de molen. Intieme en romantische setting. Onze ober was een super aardige man en het eten was verrukkelijk. Tip ga voor de vegetarische opties die waren het lekkerst. Zeker een plek om nog eens terug te komen!“

“A wonderful place. Located in a small bay that empties pleasantly in the evening, you can sit on the terrace right on the beach with a view of the sea. The service was always attentive and the staff were very friendly and fond of children. The kids got two helpings of the children's spaghetti bolo. The menu is clear, but there is always fresh grilled fish that you can choose from on display. Grilled calamari, sea bream, red snapper and much more are on the plate. The fish are filleted by the table service. You can easily go from beach day to dinner here in swim shorts and shorts. Very relaxed, simple, delicious - that's all I need on vacation. The prices are fair and, starting at €60/kg for fresh fish, are typically cheap in the area.
There is a kiosk window where you can stock up on small drinks, snacks and ice cream during the day.
Absolute recommendation for a simple, relaxed, friendly and very tasty dinner where the kids can play and kick on the beach in between :-)
Reservation recommended, just do it by phone. Cash only!

Kid-friendliness: It is offered to serve the children their food with the parents' starters - very attentive.“

“Spectacular dinner in an elegant and private location! Fresh fish, delicious. Satisfactory quantity flow rate. Light and well prepared. High level service. The boy who served us, I think his name is Richard, was very kind and left us lots of advice on the beaches to visit! Highly recommended“

“Me and my wife had the pleasure to dine at Cafe In-certo twice during our holiday in the old town. On both occasions the food and service were impeccable. The whole experience and how we were treated was amazing. This was one of our most favourite places to eat good food, drink some lovely local Paxa wine and totally immerse ourselves. Thank you to the brilliant and attentive team, you made our stay in the old town truly amazing. Thank you Paul & Simona Morgan.“

“Had dinner here last night as it’s a 5 minute walk from where we’re staying. Fabulous. Off the beaten track and very small but food was excellent. We had lobster tails and lamb cutlets with homemade mint sauce. Delicious and reasonably priced. Not many vegetarian options but we’re not vegetarian so not an issue.“

“Our dishes (black linguini seafood and mussel risotto) was high quality and good price. Very tasty and lots of various seafood. The walk down the relatively steep and dark staircase can be a little daunting but worth it. Wednesday November 15th was the last day open for the season. Otherwise we would gladly have visited again. Opening again somtime early next year. The sunset picture is taken before we went down the staircase. It seems that google this is part of a hotel which it is not. It might have been associated with Holiday Inn nextdoors. The hotel is closed for refurbishment and will open later under new management.“

“Small restaurant that was recommended to us, we didn't have a booking and staff were lovely and very accommodating, they were turning people away as it was so busy. Steak was amazing and reasonably priced, service was quick and the steaks were cooked to perfection just how we all wanted it. Best meal of our holiday and we would 100% recommend!

Wheelchair accessibility: There was no wheelchair accessibility as seating is upstairs with no lift.“

“We had a truly delicious meal here and perhaps our best dining experience during our 16-day trip to Portugal. Prince was our server and he did a very deft job. Calm, friendly, patient and professional. We had the chateaubriand for 2 people together with the Moinhos do
Coa red wine. We ordered spinach and fried vegetables separately. The bread with all kinds of dips was also very nicely presented and tasty. Unfortunately we ran out of room for dessert. Good reason to go back again.?“

“We met the manager by chance and we hit it off directly because he is a superb person!! You will receive an excellent welcome from both him and the waiters!!
Breathtaking tapas,
A large salad with goat cheese toast and incredible honey mustard vinaigrette!
And for dishes, a falafel burger and sea bream, everything is fresh and seasoned perfectly!

We might as well tell you that we had a blast!!
10/10 a treat of fresh produce and exclusively homemade compositions!!
We will come back without hesitation so don’t hesitate!!

See you soon Paulo!

“I just discovered this place and I'm delighted.
It was really delicious with very good quality products which is rare
Nuno is very pleasant and the place is nice
It’s a shame that it’s only open at lunchtime because for an evening aperitif, this address will also be perfect.
The prices are very reasonable, water, two dishes and two desserts for €35!
The photos show a shrimp salad and the burrata salad with the red fruit cheesecake. Everything was perfect ?
My friend was too quick and greedy for the Oreo mousse dessert but it was flawless.
I highly recommend this place
I'm a fan! thank you for everything
See you soon ?“

“Stoped by while visiting this area, this restaurant is far ahead of whole area competition with their food and especially with their service! Chef is Michelin star equal and service was amazingly friendly along with smile and welcome attitude!
You guys rock!!! Thanks to manager who runs this place as this is your product of labor.
It was outmost pleasure to be here and for sure will come again. Please keep up the good work!

Parking: Just above the restaurant there is gated parking and it’s free of charge as well nice and leveled“

“Family atmosphere, excellent service and typical food of the area. One of the best "Francesinhas" I have ever tried and all the dishes were super delicious. Coincidentally, my visit coincided with my birthday and they invited me to one of the desserts. I just have to say, thank you very much friends. 100% recommendable!!!“

“Authentic and inexpensive restaurant in a city where Portuguese gastronomy is being lost to tourist restaurants/canteens. Here you will find simple but super good and typical dishes as well as a traditional atmosphere. To be tested without hesitation!“

“Very good restaurant, the octopus was very good but not exceptional, quality accompaniment with fresh produce, the monkfish with its seafood was not as tasty as we thought based on the comments, on the other hand the sauce is excellent.
Beautiful presentation of the dishes, quality service.
A very good value for money.“

“Good place to eat and have a drink. Excellent treatment. Good traditional Portuguese food, affordable price and close to the beach.

I'm back after a couple of years. The service has not only maintained quality. But it has improved it.

Vegetarian options: Goat cheese toast with honey and walnuts
Vegetable omelet
Rice with legumes and soy sauce (vegan)

“Great experience!!

This place is brilliant. Staff care, take pride in their service, the quality of the food is excellent too.

We had the Brazilian steak and the grilled sirloin. Both excellent. The sirloin was cooked to absolute perfection.

Desert was also tasty.“

“We came for dinner and we ordered the Salmon, Sea Bass and Salmon salad, everything was very delicious, but the best of all is the attention received by all the restaurant staff, they serve you very well and always have some detail with you, You feel at home, it is a place that you cannot miss in Carvoeiro, thank you very much family, we will return ?“

“Quiet, family-friendly place to eat. Extensive menu of dishes, although few desserts; Yes, the one I ordered was very delicious.
I have to comment that in the food, the sea bass was very cooked.
The quality is good and the prices are reasonable.
Clean bathrooms.
The place is a little dated and the staff friendly.“

“If you come to Carvoeiro, don't hesitate. Recommendation from the Danielin guide, make a reservation so that you have a table in the interior rooms, from there enjoy it....the brutal grilled cod and octopus are wonderful.
As starters, an Alentejo cheese and a tomato and onion salad.
Good, pretty and very acceptable price.“

“We were able to visit several restaurants during our stay in Algavre and this remains one of the best!We ate there several times both for lunch and dinner and each time tasted different dishes and all were excellent.Delicious homemade dishes and a top waiter We have never been disappointed!I highly recommend it“

“Perfect spot for dinner with excellent service (English speaking) and great food. Most tourist places are too noisy for decent conversations. Pepper steak was about a 10-oz portion and so tender. The best steak ever. Ordered it medium rare. Could barely finish it. The chicken filet with mushroom sauce was delectable, also too much and took half as take-away. The sea bass is fresh and tasty, and guest was so stuffed eating it all. The fish filet special is breaded, not grilled. Be sure to ask server which you prefer. My favorite is the sardine pate and amazing olives. Their bread uses a rye starter for incredible texture. 5 thumbs up!

Parking: The street narrows so best to park up the hill for free parking by the municipal building. 10-minute leisurely pace up the hill.“

“We went because we were on our way to the hotel and what a great success! The food and the treatment were very good. We found a place by miracle. We ordered clams, meat and fish and everything was delicious.

Kid-friendliness: We went with our one and a half year old baby, and she had no problem getting into her high chair and eating our food.“

“IT'S OUTRAGEOUS HOW DELICIOUS THIS PIZZA IS!
This was really one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten ?? Super nice people and our food was ready quickly. Value for money is great.
In theory you can eat on site because there are 2 or 3 small tables with chairs here, but it's more of a snack bar.“

“Cuisine raffinée, excellente, créative. J'ai adoré : bateaux de chicorée farcis aux oranges, bacon et fêta. Tellement rafraîchissant et savoureux. L'accueil est bienveillant dans un environnement serein. Une belle découverte. Bravo.“

“We visited twice during our holiday and the food both times was superb. We stuck with the tapas menu on both visits so managed to try most dishes. All delicious. We sat outside with lovely views of the garden and sea views in the distance. Very relaxed atmosphere and attentive service. Highly recommended.“

“Great location with easy access. Friendly and dedicated staff. Food of great quality and quantity. Good meats and well-prepared spirits.

Wheelchair accessibility: Access ramp at the entrance and interior space between tables“

“It was a perfect experience. The staff was incredibly nice and very knowledgeable about the wine. Everything we ordered was delicious, I think the Tuna Belly was some of the best I’ve ever had.

Would return again and again!“

“The taste and service are very good, the price-performance ratio is first-class, and it is clean and hygienic. The grilled lamb chops I ordered today were very tender. Generally speaking, the dishes were very homely. It's the kind of restaurant you can go to every day. You can sit down and eat and drink as you like. It's very relaxing. Strong recommendation.“

“What a find!! We have been coming to Carvoeiro for over 14 years and this has to be our best find. Andre is a superb host, attentive to the needs of his guests interacting well with the whole family. All the staff team are friendly and efficient. The menu both at lunch and in the evening is limited, however it doesn't need to be anything more. The food is delicious and very reasonably priced. My husband enjoyed the best steak he has ever had, and my 11 year old loved the seabass. You will not be disappointed, and we will definitely be paying future visits!!“

“Very happy with our visit to this restaurant, which offers a very varied choice. Our starters and mains were excellent, with generous portions. The restaurant is impeccably clean and the staff are super welcoming. We had a very pleasant evening. We will come back without hesitation and we recommend it 100%: go for it with your eyes closed! As an added bonus, the restaurant is halal, and it’s the only one in Albufeira that offers so many choices. Do not hesitate !“

“We have been happy to go there every year on holiday for the past 5 years. The food is plentiful and the price is appropriate for the quantity. The owner is always friendly and even knows our taste preferences, even though we only go there once a year.“

“Had lunch at Eduardos yesterday.
The service from Eduardo is first class.He is a really nice man.
The food.... simply fantastic, Eduardos wife does the cooking and it is first class. The meat was very tender. The home made dessert was out of this world.
The best restaurant I've eaten in on this holiday. Try it. You won't be disappointed.
Thank you, Eduardo.“

“We visited this place three times during our holiday. Very nice sardines. Very reasonable prices. Good and cheerful staff. We were lucky to get a table for our first lunch and lots of people were queuing for a table. We booked tables for our subsequent visits.“

“BEST PIZZA EVER! I came here 3 times for the week I stayed in Carvoeiro. Tried 3 different items as well, all tastes like heaven! Would come back just for the pizza. The one thing I love the most is the adjustable spicy level, I love spicy, and chef can adjust different spicy levels!“

“Incredible place, I couldn't' recommend it more! The food, the service, and the atmosphere were all perfect! Kudos to the sushi chef the sashimi was sublime and presented beautifully! 10/10 all the way, don't hesitate to go, world class establishment!“

“We walked to this restaurant from put house and my God it's a hidden gem, the food is absolutely gorgeous.we had the ribeye steak and it was perfect I already can't wait to go back tomorro and try the seabass,I highly recommend this restaurant the food is amazing staff are lovely and kind. 10 stars from me thanks so much for a lovly evening ❤️just came back for the seabass and it was absolutely gorgeous?kids loved there meals also this is my new favourite to go to place for dinner ???“

Food to cry for more.
Friendliness from the man behind the grill, to the girl serving the table.

I will always come back...

Kid-friendliness: Baby and children's chair, pencils, colored pens, coloring books.“

“We came this evening June 3 at 8:30 p.m. We were very well received.
The servers were very present and helpful, available to their customers.
A small panorama on the terrace, very beautiful to see.
Everything was very very good whether it was meat, veggie or fish.

They even made the effort to speak French with us.
Nothing to complain about, I recommend!!!!

Vegetarian options: Excellent vegetarian burger

Parking: Easy access parking“

“Dinner with a group of friends who were customers of this restaurant who had already told me about the good quality of the food. I decided to take a risk at their invitation, since the restaurants in the guide, in my understanding and knowledge, are very common and the dish is always the franganito, congratulations on the friendliness of the entire staff and the good quality meal I enjoyed with my friends, I will be back soon. I RECOMMEND IT.“

“Excellent restaurant! Pleasant atmosphere, very good and plentiful dishes, the sangria is perfect and the staff incredible, I particularly thank Dean who is the best waiter I have ever met! He does the animation all by himself, it’s a gem, honestly go for it“

“What a little gem. Frango da Guia is the best, and this little restaurant made it! Excellent chicken, fast and friendly service, price is unbelievable! Economical and tastiest chicken do Algarve. We had lunch for two and paid 21 euros, with drinks. Located right off Guia roundabout. Parking little bit further, on the street. Not to be missed, when visited Algarve!“

“If you like seafood, shell fish in particular, you're going to love this place. You can order ala cart or a combination platter that will feed four to five people. On the higher end of price in Lisbon. That said, about 1/4 the price of equivalent food in our home town of Tampa, Florida.“

“Very delicious and honest food, almost everyone orders one of the three daily specials and hardly anyone looks at the regular menu. The food is just fantastic, fresh and tasty - and it‘s offered for a very reasonable price. We went there several times during our vacation. Food can be eaten there or also taken home. They are also very friendly with kids and speak very good English - so no worries to any tourists going there despite it looks like a very local place.“

“When we arrived the staff was so kind and helpful. He spoke perfect English so easy to understand. We ordered a lot of different and all was happy with the food. This is more a place before a big dinner, because the food portions was not so big. But worth it. Recommended to check out.“

“This is where we enjoyed our meal best during a week in Carvoeiro. Relaxed atmosphere and excellent cuisine, what more could you want. The grilled dishes are particularly recommended. Very attentive service!

Kid-friendliness: Very attentive and friendly!“

“Nothing is too much trouble for this team and it really is a pleasure to dine there
We went for lunch and had a most delicious veal strips salad (there was limited choice for coeliacs). Returned for dinner as the salad was good but discovered that the salad was only on the lunch menu. Edgar, the charming waiter, spoke to the chef who made me the salad again as a special request. Can recommend the local green wine too“

“Een oase van rust. Hier was het voor ons (bijna) elke dag even thuiskomen. Na een dag strand een sopa do dia, kaasje, ham, salgados, menu van de dag, echt alles is met liefde gemaakt. Je proeft het verschil! Suzana verwelkomt je en laat je genieten van al het lekkers! Locatie in een uniek rustig steegje! En de beste sangria, wit of rood ♡♡♡♡♡“
