Adega da Marina
This barnlike place is a bit like a Portuguese grandmother – she hasn’t changed her hairstyle in a while. But she dishes out generous portions of reliable (and economical) tasty grilled chicken and seafood favourites to grateful guests. Her accessories include iron chandeliers and farming implements.

No Patio
Run by an English expat, No Patio (which means 'on the patio') is a charming and petite restaurant, with a sunny enclosed terrace, where fusion cuisine comes expertly prepared. Prawns and guacamole, asparagus risotto and tasty grilled fish go nicely with the sangria. Reservations advised.

Bora Café
Tiny Bora is the ideal place for your healthy fruit and veggie fix, delicious batidos (fruit and milk drinks) and a cool setting. The downsides are that outdoor tables cost more, smoking is allowed, and the computers’ fashionable rubber keyboards are impractical.

Vino Divino
Rich and flavourful Italian dishes come beautifully prepared at this elegant restaurant. Appetisers like goat's cheese and roasted eggplant are fine preludes to homemade pastas and raviolis (try the tagliatelle with seafood). There are good wine selections and a rooftop terrace.

Bar Lota
One of the few traditional authentic ‘what-you-see-is-what-you-get’ fish places around. Think wooden benches with paper tablecloths, loads of clients, and piles of fabulously fresh seafood daily plates.

Vista Alegre
Beyond the town walls is this warm, intimate eatery. The chef is French, his wife Portuguese, and the menu an enticing mix of both. Think lamb provençal and quail (with a jus to die for).
