Explore the old-town lanes and marina for more menus, and choose a beach restaurant around the part of the coast you plan to visit.

Old-town streets

Rua Cândido dos Reis, Rua Primeiro de Maio and the lanes around Travessa do Forno offer different ways to eat within the old town: a restaurant dinner, burgers, bakery stops and regional sweets.

Avenida dos Descobrimentos and the marina

The waterside avenue and the marina across the footbridge form another dining area. The marina has its own cluster of cafés, restaurants and bars, separate from the old-town lanes.

Meia Praia and the southern beaches

Gaivota Branca is on Meia Praia; Camilo is beside Praia do Camilo on the opposite side of Lagos. Choose the actual beach area when arranging a meal rather than treating all coastal restaurants as a single seafront strip.
