25 Best Bars in Portimao

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“A space with a stunning view of the ocean.
The space deco is exotic and appropriate for the type of establishment.
I ordered the house special sangria which was a delicious surprise and very good quality-price ratio and the Gorgonzola Pinsa which was very good.
The staff girl Ines is very friendly, smiling and helpful.
Sunset here is a must, truly 1 of the best spots in Portimao.
Parking is not easy but after 7pm one of those nearby is free. ~3 mine walking distance.
I will certainly come back.“

“Beautiful and well decorated space, when we arrived we were suggested the Gin of the week, I confess they were very weak. I ordered a different one and a very well made Gin. With so much variety of Gins, we tried 2 more of the Gins made and recommended by the bartender, surprising and fantastic, some of the best I've ever tasted, and which have nothing to do with the ones from the week recommended.“

“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 ?“

“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!!“

“The food here was fantastic! Great atmosphere and always busy for a good reason. All you can eat Japanese and Chinese food with a huge menu it’s honestly a little overwhelming to look at because you want to try everything! So many vegan options, small portions per serving so you have the opportunity to get all the dishes you want! My partner and I loved it so much we came back again the next night! Must try if you are in the area!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“petit café agréable et sympathique, génial pour un petit déjeuner ou pour boire un petit verre et grignoter un bout.

Kid-friendliness: nous sommes venus en famille et nos enfants ont apprécié leurs encas (bifana et tosta mixta)“

“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“

“Cactos Bar is my ultimate haven, perfect food, incredible tunes, and a lovely staff. Their burgers are a taste sensation, delivering pure perfection in every bite. it's the staff that truly shines, welcoming with genuine warmth. Cactos Bar isn't just a pub; it's my sanctuary, where every element converges to create an unforgettable experience.“

“(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“

“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.“

“(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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“We are giving it 5 stars for the bar, not for the restaurant. Excellent view over the ocean. Nice place to watch football but what makes the place really amazing was the live band!
We also ate there and would not recommend. We had the fish and chips and salmon, which both were not good.“

“Visited Portimao for the first time to meet some friends who live here, and they brought me to this restaurant for dinner. I tried the speciality francesinha and it was absolutely amazing.
Service was very nice and friendly as well.

Highly recommended!“

“Excellent bar with great service, great view, spacious, on Sundays at 4pm there is always music in the outdoor area, sometimes live with a wonderful and friendly singer and a musician with a very high quality guitar.
Excellent option for a really long afternoon.“

“Wandering through Portimão I found today highly recommended if you know nothing about this city as a foreigner like me. Top Lounge had some of the best service I've ever experienced, perfect meal options for after a long day at the beach and a cozy atmosphere for drinks with friends.“
