50 Best Bars near Porches

“This all-you-can-eat barbecue restaurant offers a high-quality dining experience. The food is delicious, the buffet is varied and the price is fair. A right choice for those looking for a memorable meal. I've been going to the house for 3 years now, I recommend it!!!“

“We had a wonderful stay at Vila Vita Parc! Everyone is friendly, the breakfast buffet was incredible and had many options, the pool staff was always accommodating and the facility was very clean and inviting. The staff was responsive to any questions we had and was always quick to respond to requests - car/valet, shuttle service, restaurant reservations, etc. We would definitely recommend staying here with your family if you are traveling to the Algarve region!“

“Very welcoming little bar to stumble across on way back from supermarket in the pouring rain !Amazing selection of drinks and just an easy place to sit and chill out - sad to miss out on their Sunday dinner though so will need to come back to Porches as other customers say it’s amazing ?“

“Lords bar......what can I say? We found this bar just down the road from our hotel on the first night and ended up visiting every night of our stay.
David and the rest of his staff were just so friendly from day one, they make you feel welcome as soon as you walk in.
There is seating inside and out, with a view out to sea.
The drinks are very reasonably priced as well. The cocktails were a big hit with all of us.
There are even TVs available, if you're a sports fan as well, so the 2024 Euro's were on.
I'm sure we'll be visiting this area again in the future, so looking forward to seeing David soon, thanks guys for a great week.“

“Wonderfully relaxed place with a beautiful bohemian atmosphere. Right on the beach. Service is attentive and friendly, relaxed. The food - grilled fish etc. - is simple, but with a certain sophistication. The tuna steak was cooked to perfection. The view is fascinating. A reservation is recommended as there are very few places available, but that makes it pleasant. A top spot!
You can park directly above. And the bay is great and invites you to explore in an adventurous way if you continue along the right - lots of small caves and rocks.“

“It was a lovely experience all the staff were very helpful and the food was excellent they had set it up really nicely

Vegetarian options: There was so many vegetarian dishes to choose from

Parking: There was tons of spaces

Kid-friendliness: They were very kind to the kids they were always giving them high fives and encouraging them to eat

Wheelchair accessibility: There was a lot of space“

“Excellent atmosphere at dinner, with live music. The food is very good, the cod is tasty and tender and the apple pie is very well made. But the best thing this restaurant has is the fantastic staff!!!
Well disposed, helpful and very attentive.
Thank you to Maura, Ângelo and Tó for making the night incredible.“

“Amazing beach bar that balanced a very relaxed atmosphere with excellent service. The two in charge had everything under perfect control and were extremely helpful and kind when we asked (likely quite stupid) questions. Had the salmon sandwich and carpaccio sandwich between us and they were both divine.“

“A really great little bar. The owner Manuel is a fantastic guy who made this our favourite place for a drink or two in Carvoeiro. We wish him every success and we’ll definitely be back. Tony and Orla.“

“Hugo is a very friendly, efficient bar tender. We really enjoyed drinks here every afternoon overlooking the sea. Prices very good, taste of white wine & red wine was really lovely. Frequented last year and this year. Always meet other lovely like-minded people.“

“Very friendly pub with fab service mostly Charlotte on when we were there was never disappointed with the place ?

Wheelchair accessibility: My husband had to use a scooter and had no problem getting up to the table, obviously would need someone to push you up the ramp if in a manual wheelchair ?“

“Stumbled upon this place months ago, after the restaurant we had planned to go to, was closed that day. This place is definitely a hidden gem! Really nice spot with an extensive wine list and the food is to die for! We each got different items from the menu and although we left full, we left wanting more. I can’t recommend this spot more- give it a shot.“

“Carvoeiro Bar is een bekende van ons. Elk keer dat we naar Carvoeiro gaan, bezoeken wij altijd deze bar. Het is er gezellig en de eigenaar, Bob, zorgt er altijd voor dat er iets te zien of te vieren valt, zoals live muziek, karaoke of zoals dit keer ook de EK. Er komen hier veel landgenoten, Nederlanders dus. Kortom, het is een bar voor gezelligheid, nieuwe contacten maken en lekker drinken. Leuk weetje: Bob maakt de gehaktballen zelf. Zeer de moeite waard om dat er te eten. Ik vond het zelf heel lekker! ?“

“Could be better customer service and we did find few options based on chicken to satisfy our hunger. Convenient location with local parking spots around. Authentic cuisine, shame that we don’t eat red meat but we tried the cakes which were decent enough.“

“Didn't eat here but stopped for drinks a couple of nights and cannot recommend Nelson and his sister more. It's a small bar with a huge welcome. Will definitely come back

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes there is accessibility“

“Hi, We love this bar. The owners are so nice & go that extra mile. There is often good music too. They show football rugby etc. Going back soon for food. They do nice hearty home cooked food. Spotless & always friendly. Not over priced and vert reasonable.“

“If you looking for a special spot to eat in Praia da Rocha you should absolutely try F Restaurant. The views are unparalleled anywhere along the beachfront, the atmosphere is great, the service is a notch above the norm and the food is incredible. All our friends and guests who have been there have also raved about it. Do yourself a favor and go to F Restauarant if you have the opportunity.“

“It’s the best indian food Iv had in my past 9 days in Lisbon and my first day in Algarve. Service was also very good. We will go back soon.

Vegetarian options: They have enough vegetarian options.

Dietary restrictions: They understood the allergy for 1 of us and custom made it accordingly.“

“We went two nights to their outdoor terrace and discovered a good mojito for 5 eur and we had it in a quiet place 20 meters from the combat bashing that you have on the main street of the nightlife in Portimao.

Good, nice and cheap, you couldn't ask for more ?“

“If you want to listen to good music, it's here!At 9:30 pm they sacrifice a goat on the terrace and we drink a few shots of bloody medronho and the party begins. Party ends with the sacrifice of a chicken on the bar counter at 4 am in honor of the horned one! No kidding, one of the best metal bars and a very good atmosphere, compared to other customers they are very friendly and lively, I really like the decor. The bar also has a darts machine, which makes everything much better and addictive! ❤️“

“A fantastic bar playing great, northern soul and motown tunes. Owners Sue and Jennifer were brilliant really friendly and welcoming. A good range of drinks including cocktails all reasonably priced , nice and relaxing atmosphere with lovely customers. Thanks to you both for helping to make our holiday fantastic and good luck for the future. Hope to see you next year, love and best wishes Steve and Sue ??‍♂️?‍♀️?.“

“Booked for Sunday lunch, which was fabulous. We have never been before, so we thought we would give it a try. The lunch was lovely, beef and pork, roasties, carrot and swede, cabbage, green beans, carrots, Yorkshire pudding, cauliflower cheese, followed by homemade choice of desserts all for 14 euros. We were made to feel so welcome. The family made the afternoon, and they were so friendly. We had a fabulous few hours. There was also a singer who was very good. You do need to book for the Sunday lunch. Would highly recommend. Drink prices were very reasonable, too. Enjoy ?“

“I come here whenever I’m in Carvoeiro, usually more than once every time I’m in the area. The food is fantastic, and the service is always really nice. I have never been disappointed by the choice to eat here and it wasn’t the last time! Big thumbs up.“

“Excellent view of the sea and cliff.Fun environment. Live Brazilian music on announced dates with a pagode band with Brazilian musicians.Very good Brazilian and international food.Wine cellar well served with wines and gins.A place to go all year round. I highly recommend it!“

“The server is calm.The price is super attractive. (8€ = 2 cocktails)We walked around the building to find the small bar (accessible from the busy street) but once we found it we stayed there for a while and had a few cocktails with a few shots.We will come back during our stay!!!Keep it up, it’s excellent!!“

“A great cafe providing many fresh & delicious delights. A no frills atmosphere frequented most by local which is a good sign.It has many very reasonably priced sweet and savoury options.Friendly service.We have been back many times.It has a wonderful south facing terrace which is a great sun trap in the colder months.Recommended!!“

“We had coffee and breakfast and the overall experience was good. The service was very kind, fast and attentive. I had the continental breakfast. The food quality was not impressive, but considering there aren’t many good places around, the proximity to the beach, and the speed of service, I would recommend to visit.“

“Came here on a Tuesday night. Most other places were closed. I had read before I left UK that the chicken was good. After a long days walk, the nibbles (cheese, bread and olives) were devoured, then we shared the chef salad - nice, then a plate of chicken, ribs and chips were shared (€15). These were piping hot and super delish. Lip smackingly good. All washed down with a bottle of red (Sossego) which was great too.Great value and fully recommend.“

“We went there in a group of women because we knew about the different card games, and it was great.Other than that, the environment is beautiful and super pleasant, I imagine that in the summer it would be perfect due to the pool and the leisure options offered.“

“The staff at this little bistro is always so welcoming and attentive. The food is delicious and reliably consistent. The drinks are top notch. We went on a Wednesday and enjoyed the live music. Lots of people having a nightcap at the bar at 10pm.“

“Very cozy place, the girl who attended us was super nice.
We went to try the francesiña, which is a typical dish from the area and it is highly recommended, there were many more dishes that I would have tried but the portions are quite large and of good value for money. I would definitely return!“

“I went to see Portugal- Czechia. I ordered a Guinness to drink and wanted something to drink/eat (they told us there wasn't any). Service somewhat abnormal as we had to get up and go to the counter to order and there wasn't even a table and they came to bring it. Thanks to Vitória de Portugal, suffered, for the environment and for Guinness“

“Absolutely deserves it status at a top restaurant. Had a taster menu and it was delicious from start to finish.

I’ve chosen not to post all courses so save the surprises but my stand outs were the squid dish which is probably in my top five dishes of all time. And also the orange tree.

Service and the experience was impeccable. Deserves the star.

Would go again.

Dietary restrictions: They substituted out for allergies to scallops, welks and clams.“

“Leuke bar vlak aan het strand. Filipe vriendelijk barman. De vrouw die daar werkte kon dan weer een stuk vriendelijker zijn. Voor de rest zeer leuk zitten vlak aan het strand. Bij zonsondergang prachtige beelden.

Wheelchair accessibility: Oprij ramp.“

“(Translated by Google) The bar is located in a quiet area, next to a swimming pool. It's not easy to find as it's set back from the main street.Prices are low for the area where it is located.recommended(Original)O bar está situado numa zona calma, ao lado de uma piscina. Não é fácil de encontrar, pois fica afastado da rua principal.Os preços são baixos, para a zona onde se encontra.Recomendável“

“This is a pleasant walk into the older port of the town although it is up a hill and there are many steps. Just before you arrive at the Church is a small open space with this Café which offers a range of drinks and also a good range of snacks. The location is peaceful and pleasant a joy to stop for a quiet rest.“

“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!“

“Great little bar with friendly atmosphere.screens for sport. Pool table. Karaoke and good beers and drinks. Bit crappie that they only accept cash. Lovely pizza restaurant next door. Friendly slightly older bar maid with a cracking set of nawks !“

“This is a bar where you are welcomed and served by the owner of the establishment, our dear Kim.A small bar in the historic center of Portimão, where you can regularly meet musicians and other local artists.There is always good ambient music, good drinks and snacks. All prepared by Kim.“

“We went here two times during our stay. The first time we were pleasantly surprised by the innovative and well-thought menu, followed by its high quality. They exceeded my and my hubby's expectations and the daily dish with tuna felt as tender as wagyu beef and just melted on the tongue. The second time we went there for drinks and a light snack, they delivered good quality drinks as expected.“

“(Translated by Google) Very tasty place, fair value, fast service and very friendly! I loved it and will definitely be back again!(Original)Local muito gostoso, valor justo, atendimento rápido e muito simpático! Adorei e com certeza voltarei de novo!“

“One of the best burgers, if not the best, I've had in my life. Extremely fresh ingredients, notable for the difference in the sauces and ingredients that make up the burgers. I ate the Niagara and all I can say is that I loved it! It's fantastic. The red fruit lemonade was perfect, not too sweet, fresh with that touch of lemon ? refreshing. With three options for children. In addition to all this, it stands out for the diversity of craft beers available. To be repeated, without a doubt.“

“I’ve eaten in dozens of restaurants on Sao Miguel and this has been the best so far! Incredibly delicious food that is beautifully presented. Top notch service and a lovely overall vibe. If you are a true foodie you will want to dine here, even if it means travelling a distance. You will not be disappointed!“

“Chris is Jason Stratton look alike ??? service amazing Rachel is wonderful very friendly an knowledgeable of area and great for advice food is amazing and drinks flow nicely very reasonably priced and not watered down highly recommend a visit“

“This place holds a lot of memories for me. As a teenager, living in Portugal with my parents, back in the mid 80's, we came to eat at Cabanitas... a lot!!And now I'm back as a tourist... I visited for the first time in 20 years.The area is so built up now, compared to 20, 30 years ago, but Cabanitas still rules the crossroads! We sat out on the terrace area, nice and early, at 10am. Friendly service plus really great coffee... what more could we ask for?!Well, actually, we asked for food. A tosta mista (cheese and ham toastie)... and a Bifana (a pork steak in a crusty roll).The food, plus 2 x Portuguese small coffees and 1 x milky coffee plus a bottle of water... came to €11.50.Bargain!“

“The husband-wife team who operate this restaurant are very friendly and gracious. This was our second visit in two weeks for lunch. The quiche, soup, goat cheese baguette, and Greek salad are all delicious. The presentation of the food on the plates is beautiful. You can’t go wrong with their cakes or freshly made ‘natas’. Highly recommended.“

“If it's really great food you are looking for, this is your restaurant. Off the beaten track, I'm told that the area is considered semi-industrial and the restaurant is frequented by the locals, especially at lunch is in the evenings there is plenty of space. We had six spectacular meals at real value-for-money prices. Steaks were enormous, the fish was delicious and the home made potato crisps were a pleasant surprise. The wine list is the speciality of the house. All wines are displayed on the restaurant shelves. Some of the deserts did look a bit tired but the service and overall experience was great. We will go back.“

“Great bar which serves English type food, great selection of beers and spirts at great prices compared to the town centre. Ideal place to watch sports and also play darts and a quiz on a Wednesday. Big mention to Sarah who always makes you feel welcome and nothing is to much trouble.“
