38 Best Cafes in Portimao

“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.“

“The cafe did not appear as good as when we went last March. There was only a small selection of cakes/ pastry. The duplo coffee was still as good but we could not find the pastry we would have liked. It was dark and rather warm in the cafe. Staff were pleasant.“

“Went here to grab a drink and snack. We had coffees and were given complimentary water. We shared a chocolate peanut butter banana bowl as weren’t too hungry. The portion was generous (I would have struggled to eat the full thing myself). The member of staff that served us was absolutely lovely. Great little place“

“About half of the menu was vegan, including the daily special which is always vegan, and including homemade cakes which were also all vegan. The food was all so fresh and delicious, the staff were really friendly and helpful and the whole experience was beautiful.“

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

“(Translated by Google) One of the incredible places in Portimão, first of all due to the absence of a suitable restaurant sign. Chef Evelin works daily to delight the palates of patrons, with the fresh products that he personally chooses from the local market, ensuring the best quality/price ratio. The daily menu consists of a vegetable and vegetable soup, a meat or fish dish, as well as a homemade dessert.(Original)Uno dei posti incredibili di Portimão, innanzitutto per l’assenza di idonea insegna del locale. Lo Chef Evelin si adopera quotidianamente di deliziare i palati degli avventori, con i prodotti freschi che sceglie personalmente al mercato rionale, assicurando il miglior rapporto qualità/prezzo. Il menù del giorno consiste in una zuppa di verdure e ortaggi, un piatto a base di carne o pesce, nonché un dolce fatto in casa.“

“I love this place. It's off the main strip about 2 minutes back. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Great price. Amazing caprese salad. Great bread. Really good coffee (which is not the norm around here in my experience). friendly service. Very reasonable prices.“

“A cafe/restaurant that stands out and stands out in relation to several similar spaces in the Algarve, for the quality of service, therefore always attentive, with attention to the customer and in the treatment. It's not everything you ask for but it has weight in the business and without a doubt the food served is also very good, so in this case an easy 5 stars.“

“(Translated by Google) Small village restaurant, home-made Portuguese cuisine, 2 daily specials to choose from, usually 1 with meat, the other with fish. I recommend the pernils if you are lucky enough to fall on D-Day. Good value for money.(Original)Petit resto de village, cuisine portugaise maison, 2 plats du jour à choix en général 1 avec viande l'autre avec poisson. Je vous recommande les pernils si vous avez la chance de tomber le jour J. Bon rapport qualité prix.“

“A little Portuguese house with Algarve sweets recovered from old recipes by D. Isabel over the years. The reception is warm and experienced. They are all great but I recommend the Alvor bowl, which is a delicate sweet with egg jam, cinnamon, lemon and a crunchy dough all around that gives it a texture. Great cold tea from Lúcia Lima and lemonade to go with it.“

“My friends and I came here three times over the course of a 4 day trip to Praia de Rocha. The owners are the sweetest people ever and they had incredible pastel de nata and a great tuna sandwich! Genuinely lovely spot, would recommend to anyone looking for a friendly and welcoming atmosphere!“

“(Translated by Google) A very well decorated place, dishes of the day at pleasant prices and well prepared, good homemade desserts. A place that when I'm close by I will definitely return(Original)Um sítio muito bem decorado, pratos do dia a valores agradáveis e bem confeccionados, boas sobremesas caseiras. Um sítio que quando estiver ao pé voltarei sem dúvida“

“We visited Snack bar Silvas when staying in Portimäo as we were looking for somewhere cheap & cheerful to eat without breaking the bank. Liked the look of Silvas and the owner (we think!) was nice and welcoming. Ordered a couple of petiscos - chicken gizzards and pork cheeks. Also ordered 2 mains which were pork dishes, one of which was carne à portuguesa. Bread was given to us & we realised later it was at an extra charge. We also got some beers. The food took awhile to come as it was literally a one man show with the same person serving and cooking. We enjoyed all the dishes & the petiscos were interesting. There was quite alot of garlic with the gizzards & pork cheeks which was nice. It was also good to dip the bread in the gravy served with the gizzards. The Portuguese meat dish tasted of paprika & was served with pickled cauliflower which gave it an interesting kick. The pork steak was cooked well and both the mains were served with chips. The mains were 7.50€ each & with the petiscos, beer & bread, everything came up to less than 25€ which was great value for tasty, freshly cooked food. We liked it so much we returned the next day. Sadly the codfish & octopus salads weren't available so we ordered the pork testicles with scrambled eggs as well as pica pau. For mains, they didn't have one of the dishes we wanted to order so gave us a grilled fish & a beef steak. Again, it was a bit of a wait for the food but they were cooked fresh. The testicles had a chewy texture - like a cross between gizzards & pork. They went with the eggs. Pica-pau was similar to a main we had the day before & was served with pickled gherkins & cauliflower. The steak was served with chips and the fish with boiled potatoes & a salad on the side. Once again, the food was good with the only disappointment being a small bit of the fish which wasn't completely cooked. The mains were 8€ each & the bill came up to a little over 25€. Other than the glitch with the fish, we really enjoyed the food we had at Silvas & the unassuming vibe of the place as well as the kind & welcoming service. It's definitely recommended when in Portimão!!“

“(Translated by Google) A spectacular service with a variety of choices within what is expected in a place where the typical street/neighborhood snack bar predominates.The soup is wonderful, the salads, the steaks in homemade bread, and everything with 5 star hygiene(Original)Um serviço espetacular com variedade de escolha dentro daquilo que é esperado num local onde predomina o tipico café snack bar de rua/bairro.A sopa é maravilhosa, as saladas, as bifanas em pão caseiro, e tudo com uma higiene 5 estrelas“

“(Translated by Google) A quiet cafe with very good value for money and very friendly staff. We went one day for breakfast by chance and we have repeated the following during our stay in Portimao. The breakfast is abundant, and the toasts with ham or cold cuts are delicious. Finally, the place is very clean.(Original)Una cafetería tranquila con muy buena relación calidad-precio y personal muy amable.

“We were recommended to try this restaurant and it did not disappoint. I ordered the grilled fish and received a whole fish plus sides. Delicious. We arrived when it opened and it filled up quite fast. Service was lovely. Such a nice local feel.“

“This restaurant is in a prime spot and in the day time has great views out to sea. We were here in the evening having checked it out earlier in the day. We were greeted warmly and given a choice of tables. The lighting made the place feel cosy and created a nice atmosphere. The service was perfect~ maybe helped by the fact that at this time of year there weren’t many customers but we appreciated the effort the staff went to. Two of us had omelettes which came with fries and salad, each presented as a good sized meal. For me I had the star of the show ~ a whole sea bass served butterflied with potatoes and veg. Without hesitation I can say this was the best sea bass I have ever eaten. Fresh and locally caught. Perfect.“

“**Review: Red Velvet Cake with Macaron Decoration**

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of tasting a Red Velvet cake that far exceeded my expectations. From the very first bite, I was captivated by the perfectly balanced, moist texture of the cake.

But the real highlight was the decoration. The macarons delicately placed on the side were not only visually stunning but also added a delightful crunch that contrasted beautifully with the softness of the cake

In summary, this Red Velvet cake is a true delight for the senses, both visually and in taste. I highly recommend it to any pastry lover. It's a dessert that will surely please even the most discerning palates.“

“By far, one of the best Portuguese restaurants I’ve ever been to! The food was absolutely delicious, probably the best grilled fish I’ve ever eaten. The staff took their time, but that’s how it is in Portugal. Don’t be discouraged by people saying the service is bad. The staff was friendly and hardworking, but in Portugal, you have to learn to slow down.“

“The English house in Portimão was the city's landmark. Tea room always full of people and good pastries. Algarve specialties were tasted and eaten here...fig cakes, carob cakes, the best D. Rodrigo cakes in the entire region and the famous colorful almond cakes.
I was disappointed with the quality, especially the famous d.rodrigo flavors. Dry and far below those of the past. I ate much better in other places.
Very expensive and unavailable service.“

“We came here to use the pool mostly.It's big enough to enjoy proper swimming or having fun with your kids. Great service from the people at the café/restaurant. Home made pizza is always a great choice, there is a vegetarian option too“

“(Translated by Google) Very friendly despite our lack of knowledge of the language. We had breakfast every day, and although small it gives good service and there are few places in the area(Original)Muy amables a pesar de nuestra falta de conocimiento del idioma. Desayunamos todos los días, y aunque pequeño da buen servicio y hay pocos sitios por la zona“

“Restaurant with very good food at affordable prices. Excellent service from the staff, especially Dgmar, who was super attentive, helpful, always asking if we needed anything and if everything was ok, etc. They also serve Take-Away, which made it a lot easier for us to take it to the Apartahotel, as it is right next to the restaurant. Whenever we return to Portimão we will not forget this restaurant.“

“Simple and crazy good. Top home-made food that I tried in Portugal. Price to quality ratio is amazing, such big portions for relatively so little. Restaurant was closed but they have a bar open from the main street. If you look for something authentic, no hussle, that's the place. We ordered dish of the day, didn't even go through the menu.“

“(Translated by Google) Super friendly service!!!?I didn't like the house wine very much and immediately got another wine. The food is simple but very tasty (and my husband is very critical ?).Delicious seafood (we had the clamsand the tiger shrimp as a starter), then steak with pepper sauce and a secreto of a black-legged pig, tasty meat, mmmmm, and the homemade dessert topped it all off, for about 60 euros we really enjoyed it here.We will absolutely be back, a must in Portimao!!!!(Original)Supervriendelijke bediening!!!?Ik vond de huiswijn niet zo lekker en kreeg onmiddellijk een ander wijntje. Het eten is eenvoudig maar heel lekker (en mijn man is heel kritisch?).Heerlijke visgerechten ( we hadden de clamsen de tigershrimp als voorgerecht), nadien steak met pepersaus en een secreto van een zwartpootvarken, lekker vlees, mmmmm, en het zelfgemaakte dessert maakte het helemaal af, voor ongeveer 60 euro hebben we hier ontzettend genoten.We komen absoluut terug, een grote aanrader in Portimao!!!!

“One of the most traditional patisseries in Portimão, which experienced exponential growth with the owner who managed to spread a chain of patisseries throughout the city of Portimão with the same name and the same quality. Fresh bread several times a day and very good traditional pastries. You have to try Pastel Ginga...“

“A quiet, sea view terrace cafe which we loved during our stay in Portimao. Prices are very reasonable so we saw locals having their drink there too. We loved fresh orange juice and pasteis de nata which had rich cream fillings and very satisfying. Staff were all friendly and kind. Thanks for having us and we will come back!“

“Mandatory stop if you are in Portimao.Lena is a kind and caring lady, who makes everything by hand at the moment with fresh and excellent quality raw materials.We took a tropical salad, an excellent combination of fruit and vegetables, very particular but above all good.Excellent prices and unique productsCome!!!“

“Good shakes. Good service.
Prices a bit high.
A crepe with strawberries and nutela was 8 euros.
The location was good, there was music and it was comfortable.
Friendly employees.

Total:
1 milkshake + 1 smoothie
€8.70“

“Friendly terrace bar with a breathtaking view of the rocks.
As strange as it may seem, we were well received by the Native waitress, a few words in Portuguese made us smile.
Democratic prices for the view and the large, very quiet terrace.“
