37 Best Seafood Restaurants near Santa Luzia

“Van de vele restaurantjes hier aan de boulevard was hier de bezetting het hoogste. Meestal duid dit op een goede kwaliteit. Na onze maaltijd kan ik beamen dat in ieder geval de gerechten die wij besteld hadden werkelijk van hoge kwaliteit waren (pepersteak & zwaardvis steak). Verder hele goede indruk van personeel en entourage. Echt een aanrader!“

“Fish of the day was Bream and they did a good job grilling it. The serving was large and included boiled potatoes and a few boiled vegetables -- typical for this part of Portugal. We also had a salad which was nicely dressed in-house. The owners are eager to please customers. We were at the same place a few years ago and were initially disappointed that it chan ged hands; but the new owners look like they will be successful.“

“After trying this family-run restaurant and being very happy with everything we ordered, we have returned to Gaivota several times. We are never disappointed. The grilled fish (golden bream, see bass and so on) is always perfectly cooked. My husband had fried squid recently and thought it was fabulous. He also praised the mixed grill. The desserts are excellent! The waitress is friendly and attentive and has a great sense of humour. Just a note: If you want to have a cataplana, you have to order it the day before. Ours was delicious!“

“The place and the service are great. The prices are reasonable considering that you are just a stone's throw from one of the most important beaches in the Algarve. The dishes we ordered were very good, except for the ceviche which was just lemon juice with fish. He lacked everything. It didn't have red onion, it didn't have sweet potato or sweet corn. Not hot either. I was going to say it was the worst ceviche I've ever had in my life, but it's not a ceviche. It is fish in lemon juice.“

“Another surprising restaurant in the Algarve! We didn’t expect much but were pleasantly impressed. Our waiter was extremely pleasant and we had fun joking with him. The raw oysters were the best we’ve had in Portugal accompanied by a nice inexpensive white wine. Our Portuguese style tuna was a welcome change from the regular seared tuna and much appreciated. Finished off with cheesecake and a local delicacy, a carob, fig and almond tart… superb! One of our best lunches in the Algarve!“

“An excellent choice, we ate fresh fish, unbeatable cod, and the desserts were homemade and very good.
Friendly and kind waiter from the first moment, we went without a reservation and we were 12 people and he treated us very well. 100% recommended and if we return it is a safe visit.“

“Very good genre and good service, the desire for the seafood platter was good but it gave the sensation of being frozen. The rest of the things are fine.
The clams, made like the rest of the Algarve.
We ate 4 well with a seafood platter for two and some clams.
With few views of the sea since it has a parking lot and the port, but there is little traffic so it is comfortable.“

“Given the offer on the island, we were surprised by the quality and especially the speed of the service.
We ordered a seafood platter, the shrimp and the delicious clams. Without having tried the rest of the restaurants in the area, I think we made the right choice.“

“I wasn't very sure, in the area it seems that it is to get money from tourists, but the reviews were good.
And it was true, we ate very well and at a good price. The portions are huge and although they are Pakistani, they nail the Portuguese recipes very well. All very good.
We ordered some oysters, octopus in tempura which was very tender, cod also very good and a very generous portion and what we liked the most is an octopus that they make like golden cod, delicious.
All at a very correct price.“

“Great food with the extra touch of brilliant presentation. We tried to get a table but the restaurant was fully booked, so we booked to come back another night. It was definitely worth it, the staff are also very nice. It is a place you must try when visiting.“

“New visit and there are several. Very simple family-run restaurant with terrace. Informal but efficient and friendly service. Rui in charge of the grill; For our taste, it tends to become overcooked over time, so sometimes the fish arrives at the table overcooked. Very good quality of all types of fish (turbo, sole, croaker, sea bass, sea bream, snapper). For starters, some splendid and fresh sardines and a portion of medium-sized but very delicious clams. For seconds, a wonderful 1.5kg snapper for two for €40 and a portion sea bass for €15 (on another visit we ordered a sea bass of about 2.5kg for three for €60, a bit overcooked, unfortunately). Unbeatable prices. They accompanied it with a platter of delicious homemade fries that they don't charge. Desserts only acceptable. To drink well-poured beers.
The only downside is that they don't accept reservations and it fills up quickly, mornings and nights, so you have to wait in line. Highly recommended.“

“I'll start by saying that it's the best SANGRIA I've ever had, so you have a reason to go check it out! Relaxed atmosphere with a beautiful view of Manta Rota beach, very well prepared dishes and a welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend it.

Just missing a wider choice of aperitif with small accompaniments for our part..
A very good carob and fig cake to enjoy without moderation!
Best wishes !“

“Just discovered this lovely restaurant and had a family dinner here last night. Great varied menu with something for all, we had steak, burger, fish and pasta, all of which was delicious. Staff were so lovely and welcoming, we will definitely be back!“

“Very good place on a tourist street. Although it is on the typical bar street, it is a small place with several tables on the street.
The staff was very friendly and attentive and the food was very delicious. We ordered clams, garlic shrimp (not in the photo), grilled octopus and frango grelado (grilled chicken) for the little one.
A bottle of white wine, a juice and an ice cream and we paid €89
It would just remove the singer from the bar next door, but it was part of the show.
It is worth having dinner here, other tables ordered the cod and seafood cataplana which looked very good.“

“Good sushi and pretty good Thai food. The sushi was fresh and flavorful, but the Thai noodle dish lacked a little pizzazz. The warm fried tuna uramaki was the overall winner, but I do love fried foods!
The setting for this nice small restaurant is lovely, right on the river at the far end of the esplanade where all of the tour boats leave.
And the prices were very reasonable. I would go back. A good experience.

Wheelchair accessibility: It seemed like it was fully accessible. Outdoor patio and restaurant all on the ground level. And the bathrooms may be a little tight, but again, no stairs or barriers.“

“A stones throw away from the middle of Tavira, this seems to be a favourite of locals for both meals and drinks. I was very impressed by the food choices ( check specials on wall as well as standard menu) and the price of the carafes of wine. Very popular, get there early or be prepared to wait.“

“I'm glad I listened to the reviews. What a great success!
Super recommended. Kindness of service, exquisite food. Super good quantity and unbeatable quality price!!
We chose fish soup (very good), rice with octopus, grilled cod and stewed meat, everything was incredible, very delicious, you can tell that it is traditional and homemade food!“

“(Translated by Google) Very good, a family restaurant, great quality food and well prepared. A very kind and helpful service.(Original)Muito bom, um restaurante familiar, comida de grande qualidade e bem confecionada. Um atendimento muito amável e prestável.“

“(Translated by Google) Great facility and amazing staff with great service! Delicious food and homemade wine!(Original)Прекрасное заведение и восхитительный персонал с отличным сервисом! Очень вкусная еда и домашнее вино!“

“Privileged location with good appearance.
In August it is difficult due to the movement and too many people.
The service is always at a loss.
Still, we ate at 4pm with fewer people and we were well treated and the food was of good quality with nothing negative to point out.
I'm sure that in June, July, the end of August or September (in short... outside the high season) it can only be better.“

“First time to Santa Lucia!!! We're attracted right to the restaurant. It helps you parked almost in front.Great service!!! Food was fantastic!!! Had a octopus in puff pastry!!! I didn't expect more seafood that just octopus ?!!! Shrimp and clams and I think scallops maybe. My wife had octopus pasta. We also had breaded octopus as a starter. Every ounce was delicious!!“

“Reasonable price, very fresh cod, sardines and squid.
Being a little late, there was no octopus left.
They treated us very well.
The dishes take a while to come out because they are being grilled right at that moment.

Edit: We repeat another day, sooner and try the octopus ?“

“Wanted a typical Portuguese meal in place more frequented by the locals rather than tourists. This was the place. Terrific food topped off by a nice glass of an Algarve red house wine. Staff were great to meet and offered some nice local places to visit. Loved these guys and their restaurant.“

“(Translated by Google) It no longer exists, the restaurant has a new name and owners. What we ordered was all good. Location is ideal in low season, we can eat in silence and listen to nature.(Original)Já não existe, restaurante tem novo nome e proprietários. O que pedimos estava tudo bom. Local é ideal em época baixa, podemos comer no silêncio e ouvir a natureza.“

“Very good food!!
I highly recommend the black pork tenderloin, the meat is very well cooked and seasoned.
Very good dessert, the Isabel Cup. The carob pie had good flavor but was poorly served in terms of quantity.
It could have come with a larger serving of fries, but nothing serious.
In short: In terms of 5-star quality, in terms of quantity for the amount you pay, it is a 3.“

“Food well prepared and with good portions we were well attended to
The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I was bitten by melgas (inevitable summer bad luck and because I thought the bread was weak) besides the best in the Algarve“

“Excellent is what I can say.From the boss to the employees to the organization.We were always very well attended to the 4 times we went there for dinner.Food: whether fresh fish or meat with a lot of flavor, spectacular sangria, a very warm atmosphere.I highly recommend it but don't forget to bookBig hug to the whole team“

“What a pleasant surprise this restaurant.
Delicious food, very good, very well prepared.
Super pleasant staff, friendly and very professional.
Very pleasant terrace
Delicious desserts
Good wine list
I loved everything.“

“This is not the first time I have visited this restaurant, I was there more than ten years ago, and the dining room has not changed anything, nor has the decoration, which I think could be given some changes to adapt it a little to the new times, that is my opinion. very particular, but let's get to how interesting the food is, we ordered some sardines which were delicious, both for their flavor and for how well they were made, they served us with a picadillo, as we say in my country, specifically in Seville, composed of onion, tomato and on top he put some roasted peppers, once they were put with their salt, oil and vinegar, worthy of gods, for the second we ordered a stone-grilled beef tenderloin, which was accompanied with some French fries, I have the tenderloin What to say spectacular, it's been a long time since I've tried meat with a good flavor. I have to return.“

“Niet goedkoop en de obers hebben moeite je te verstaan als je geen Portugees praat. Maar dat is overal in Portugal. Het personeel is erg vriendelijk. Het uitzicht is geweldig, net als het eten. Heerlijke gerechten. Het is echter niet super goedkoop.“

“We took the risk despite the Google reviews and it has been a success. The 3.4 doesn't do it justice. A spectacular site. Fresh fish. It has fish rodizio at €17.50 which includes spectacular sea bass, sea bream, sardines, boiled potatoes and a salad with the option to repeat if you are left hungry. We will return without a doubt“

“(Translated by Google) I don't understand the bad reviews for this place. I've been eating here since it opened many years ago and it's always been great. I always ask for the espetada de peru (turkey skewer) that comes with two accompaniments that you choose and they put it abundantly. The quantity of food is very good and the quality also for the price it has. It doesn't usually take long unless there are a lot of people and they are friendly. When I always ask for the same dish, I don't know how I would rate the place, but when I always ask for the same dish (10/10 for me), I give it 5 stars.(Original)No entiendo las reseñas malas de este lugar. Llevo comiendo aquí desde que abrió, hace muchos años y siempre ha ido genial. Siempre pido la espetada de peru (pinchito de pavo) que viene con dos acompañamientos que Tu eliges y te lo ponen de manera abundante. La cantidad de comida es muy buena y la calidad también para el precio que tiene. No suele tardar mucho a menos que haya mucha gente y son amables. Al pedir siempre el mismo plato no se como valoraría el lugar pero al pedirme siempre el mismo (para mi 10/10) pues le pongo 5 estrellas.“

“This place is a 5*.If you fancy simple, traditional, good quality and very generous food then you'll be happy. We ordered their speciality Cataplana (mixed seafood casserole) for two. Yes they took 45 mins to cook it at a busy lunch, though 100% worth the wait. The bowl was stuffed full of 2x whole bream/dorada, 4x big Tiger prawns plus clams, potatoes and veg. Everything was cooked perfectly and most importantly, a rich stock... So rich that we ended up ordering bread so we could mop the bowl clean.It even had the added benefit of my girlfriend not speaking for 30 mins, just positive noises from the other side of the table as she wiped every last drop from the bowl..Ignore the silly 1* and 2* reviews for serrvice being slower at lunch in peak season or card payments needing a €20 spend.5*.“
