  5. Le Maquis

    There's a cosy all-wood interior but, for preference, reserve a table on the balcony with magnificent views of the bay, comfortable wicker chairs and candles flickering all around. Service is friendly and attentive and the food a delight. Save a cranny for the cheeseboard with around a dozen different varieties, mostly without name and all bought directly from the producer.

  8. Le Sud

    With its hippy chic-inspired décor, terracotta urns, sun mirrors and whitewashed walls, Le Sud affects Mediterranean cool. From its sweeping terrace you can enjoy some of Porto's finest and most imaginative dishes in a relaxed atmosphere and with a great panorama of the marina to boot. The refreshingly simple meat- or fish-based à la carte selection offers dishes such as lapin de la garrigue au romarin (wild rabbit with rosemary). Vegetarians will relish the assiette du sud with minted cucumber, tapenade, roasted peppers and chickpea purée.

  9. U Pescador

    Near the beach and sandwiched between the car park and a recently planted grove of trees (with the sea just out of sight, alas), The Fisherman does a quite magnificent fish soup. Rub a clove of garlic into the toasted bread, sprinkle on some grated cheese, pour on the rich broth, add a dollop of rich rouille, sip and sigh with pleasure. To follow, both the fish and seafood are delightfully fresh.
