50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Porches

“Aladin Grill offers a good balance of meat and fish for those with differing desires. The beef stroganoff and crepes souzette is prepared tableside and both were fantastic. The food is very tasty all around and I would highly recommend giving Aladin Grill a try if you are in the neighborhood!“

“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 have visited many restaurants in Algarve on holidays but this is the one we go back to time after time.
Lovely clean, airy atmosphere with choice of indoor or outdoor seating. Very friendly people.
The food is fabulous, the prawns are the best I've tasted anywhere, have tried just about every dish on the menu, and they're all excellent.
We'll be back the very next day we holiday here.“

“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.“

“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.“

“A carne pedida estava de extrema qualidade, no ponto certo. Bife pimenta maravilhoso e bife aquamar 10 estrelas, delicioso. Sagria de espumante espetacular, mega recomendável. Comida de alta de degustação. Staf totalmente atencioso super profissionais e extremamente amigáveis. Local bem posicionado e romântico na Sra.Da Rocha, Porches.“

“We were recommended to the O Barril from our hotel and TripAdvisor but that was fully booked due to the football games playing in the square so my partner and I discovered this hidden gem.
We tend to avoid the typical tourist restaurants catered more to the English as we are on holiday and want to try new things. This place was what we were after great food and service.
My partner had Portuguese steak and potato, which she loved so I had a tiny bit to try and it was really nice. I decided to order the same meal the night after but in O Barril..this was far from as nice.
The menu is a bit pricier that some of the other places to eat but we managed to get a table outside, and we were able to watch the sunset and thought it was really worth the price. Brilliant meal to start off our holiday.“

“Very pleasant time spent in this restaurant.
We enjoyed the seafood platter, very generous for 2. The crab stuffing was a little salty.
The bife Pimenta was very tender, although the sauce was too salty.
Recommended as well as the visit to the town of Silves.“

“High quality fish, they grill it and it is very tasty. We ordered salmon, sardines, sea bream and calamari (lulinhas) and everything was incredible. Friendly staff. I recommend asking the waiter since there are more options than what is on the menu. Unbeatable prices, for us it was €15 per person. The only thing wrong with the place is that it is quite hot inside even though they had the air conditioning on. We will repeat for sure.“

“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.“

“Food was lovely but their timings seem to struggle with a large influx of diners

Wheelchair accessibility: It is possible to get to the restaurant in a wheelchair, but be warned that there is a long boardwalk to Traverse to reach the entrance so it’s a little bumpy“

“Found almost by chance, it turned out to be a good choice. Very good food and generous portions like the seafood rice, the other dishes including grilled tuna and beef with egg and fried yam. Perfect service, thank you Samantha for your kindness sympathy and attention.
If you pass through Portimão I recommend it!“

“We dined there for three times during our weeklong visit to Portimão. Both my wife and I considered Carvi is the very best place to eat in town.The grilled octopus is absolutely the most delicious dish we have. The seafood and monkfish rice are also very testy with larger portion.Most of all, all three waiters are warm, smiling, and welcoming that let’s feel enjoyable to eat there. Highly recommended, no doubt, Carvi is the very best restaurant in Portimão city center.“

“What s fabulous family run restuarant. A big thank you ( Obrigada ) Nicha & her family who made us so welcome from booking the table till the end of our meal. We booked outside but as the weather had changed Nicha suggested a small cosy table just inside still with a good view of the sea. We decide to share so started with a fresh crab pate ?followed by prawn gratin ( stuffed full of fresh prawns) so delicious Then we had the most amazing Tiger prawns cooked to perfection. So much seafood choice though lobster. Mussels, Clams which we will try next time. 10 out if 10“

“It's a great place with good food, fantastic cocktails, wonderful staff, and reasonable prices. The only drawback is the excessive seaweed on the beach, which needs thorough cleaning. Without this issue, it would easily be a 5-star experience.“

“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.“

“Wenn Sie guten Fisch, Oktopus, Meeresfrüchte, einen guten Eintopf oder Bouillabaisse, eine gute Fischsuppe, einen Zackenbarsch im Ofen, kurzum alles Gute, was das Meer zu bieten hat, wollen: Gehen Sie einfach in die Seafood Boutique! Ich empfehle!?????? ?????????

If you want good fish, octopus seafood, making a good stew or bouilabese, a good fish soup, a grouper in the oven, in short, all the best that the sea has to offer: just go to the Seafood Boutique! I recommend it!?????? ???“

“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“

“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.“

“A very warm welcome to a classy but casual restaurant. After being seated we were shown a platter of fish caught locally that day to help us choose! Very tasty starters followed by superb fish mains and fresh veg. I could actually taste the sea in my bream. Could see the kitchen from our table - it all looked relaxed. Reasonably priced Algarve wine to accompany. After coffees we were offered complimentary glasses of port. Superb food, great staff and fantastic value especially for the quality on offer.“

“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.“

“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 ?“

“I ordered monkfish pasta with shrimps and mussels,but what I didn't know-it will be not pasta,but soup))) Yes, it was not what I expected, but it taste good and worth to try)next time will learn Portuguese and read more about names of dishes to be prepared. But waiters were so nice and helpful,they made an evening just nice as it can be. Will recommend this restaurant to everyone.“

“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.“

“Great location with great food, the king Prawns and portuguese steak were delicious.
Portion sizes on point, left feeling just full.
Very busy restaurant, we booked 2 weeks in advance to get a Seaview table, there was a constant queue of people waiting for tables.“

“Well located and tasteful place. International food.
Restaurant, terrace and VIP awning area.
The only downside... an apparent person in charge at the awnings who believes that foreign customers should have priority and deserve more attention, we know why!!!!
Even though I don't continue to visit as often as I used to, I still think it's a place that deserves a visit, especially for its beautiful sunsets.“

“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.“

“(Translated by Google) The service was very friendly, the recommended desserts were all fantastic, the sardines were very good, in relation to the price, which is normal for the area in which it is located.I recommend.(Original)O atendimento foi muito simpático, as sobremesas recomendadas estavam todos fantásticas, as sardinhas muito boas, em relação ao preço, o normal da zona em que se encontra.Recomendo.“

“5 of us ate and we loved it. Very attentive and very pleasant service and excellent food. We ate the cod, the salmon with citrus sauce, the rissotto and the classic bruschetta and everything was excellent.
When we went it was August and there was room to park. An excellent experience.“

“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!“

“Couldn’t have finished off a week of travelling the wonderful Algarve region in any better way!!
This restaurant and its location, is absolutely stunning… The food was delicious, staff ultra friendly and what a magical sunset view.
This has been left on our to visit list upon our return trip in years to come!“

“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.“

“The food was lovely, I had the meatballs to start then the Octopus for main, they were Devine. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. As it was a Saturday the entertainment was brilliant, we were singing and dancing. Would recommend to everyone and their gluten free varieties were excellent.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options readily available good choice too.“

“This is, in my opinion, the best restaurant in Ferragudo. Humberto, Antonio and Jessica cannot do enough to make your evening special ! I have been eating here now for around seven years and Humberto, the owner, will go out of his way to get More“

“The experience went super super well, I'm not giving any more stars because there are no more than 5?

We went at 9pm, very well served, super attentive, we ate garlic shrimp, beef chops, cuttlefish and everything was divine, we also ate bitsoques, the only thing that would improve was the French fries which instead of being industrial would become homemade, but overall it went well. It's ok, you're super friendly, the environment is peaceful.
I will definitely be back.

I visited based on the reviews, and I didn't regret it.

Keep it up, you're on the right track, thank you very much for the dinner/snack

Parking: Perfect location

Kid-friendliness: Has a baby chair“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“Estivemos de férias em Armação de Pêra e jantamos lá várias vezes. Cozinha absolutamente de primeira classe e a equipe é muito simpática e profissional. Sinta e desfrute num ambiente familiar. Meu parceiro teve hipoglicemia. Fomos cuidados como seria natural. Muito obrigado e com certeza voltaremos. Atenciosamente e beijos André e Heidi We were on vacation in Armação de Pêra and had dinner there several times. Absolutely first class cuisine and the staff is very friendly and professional. Feel and enjoy in a family atmosphere. My partner had hypoglycemia. We were looked after as it would be natural. Thank you very much and we will definitely come back. Kind regards and kisses André and Heidi“

“The octopus à lagareiro was excellent, and so was the view.
I would have given it 5 stars if it weren't for two employees coming up to me and asking if someone had installed us or if we had sat on the terrace overlooking the sea without asking.
Next time, make sure you understand each other and don't throw yourself at customers like that.“

“The fish stew was downright one of the best that I had ever tasted. I was apprehensive that the monkfish would be tough, but to my surprise the owner managed to make it immerse in the soup's flavour while remaining succulent tender. 100% would recommend.As is the case with all restaurants in Portugal, remember to let the restaurant know if you do not want the bread/butter/olives. Those are NOT free, but they will not charge you if you tell them that you don't want it before touching it.“

“I ordered 3 portions of chicken on the guide for 5 people.The chicken was very tasty and the fries were well served.Both the biscuit cake, the Algarve delight and the house sweet were very good.Very good quality price.Clean, welcoming and pleasant space.Super friendly and helpful employees.I highly recommend it! :)“

“It was great being back at this beautiful restaurant again. We were warmly welcomed by Eduardo and his team. It was a lovely evening so we were able to sit on the terrace with a fantastic view of the sea. The ice cold beer was a welcomed relief from the heat and the food and service was up to its usual high standard. They serve the best Pulpo à Lagareiro which is my dish of choice. Can’t wait to be back next year and bring other members of our family who have not yet had the pleasure of dining hear.“

“Good menu, good food, rapid service. Very efficiently run. It was very noisy on Sunday lunchtime when sitting undercover, as it was busy. Difficult for conversation. Would want to sit outside next time. Certainly worth a visit. It's in a nice quiet area in the countryside.“

“Wonderful food and sensational service. The restaurant has been run by the same family for 5 generations and the family members themselves served us. They serve fresh seafood and the dishes are super tasty. I recommend ordering portions of shrimp as a starter and the corvina steak for the main course.
I highly recommend it!“

“We read the reviews and on Sunday we tried dinner there and we loved it. We ordered sardines and sea bass and they were delicious. Both juicy and on point, accompanied by salad, sardines and steamed vegetables, the sea bass, very delicious too. Very well priced too. With drinks, some olives, and a sardine pate, we paid 29.50 in total for 2 people“

“The place offers a wonderful view of the ocean and the surrounding rocks. We waited a long time for the food. The agave pickle/Saxon was very tasty. The strawberry rice is special. However, instead of the tomatoes that were served with the salad, some fruit would have been better. I would have preferred to eat figs with it.“

“First time in Portugal for holiday. We ate at all kinds of restaurants in Armacao de Pera but this restaurant we visited 3 times. Excellent food + service on a beautiful location. Go and try yourself!

Kid-friendliness: The kids get a propper cooked meal“

“Can’t say enough good things about this place. The service was absolutely phenomenal, the staff very friendly and attentive, food was excellent and that view of the beach can’t be beaten. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone in the area

Kid-friendliness: Good kids menu, colouring provided, staff very friendly and funny in their interactions with my four year old“

“Extraordinary dinner. We had Fragateria - its a soup. We ordered for 2 person - 34€ but the portion os for 3(4) persons at least. Taste? Very good taste, lot of fish bites, sea fruits…very satisfied Taste: 5/5 Visual: 5/5 Service: waiters 5/5“
