Restaurante Associação Naval do Guadiana

The Algarve


Housed in a stark glass-and-tile box, this restaurant is more inviting inside than its exterior might suggest, with a timber-panelled dining room and white-upholstered chairs overlooking the river. Seafood is the speciality here, including cataplanas (seafood stew) for two, monkfish, salmon and lobster skewers, and laden platters.
