Taberna Do Valentim
Hidden among the humble abodes of the old fishermen’s neighbourhood you’ll find this fantastic seafood restaurant. Fresh grilled fish is available by the kilo, while the equally well-loved dishes are the rich seafood stews – arroz de tamboril (monkfish rice) and magnificent caldeirada (fish stew).

Scala Restaurante
Overlooking the rugged Praia Norte, Scala has unrivalled views of the sea. The interior is less exciting, but livened up perhaps by the broad menu of salads, crêpes, seafood and the usual Portuguese favourites. Scala is 2km west of the centre.
