Beyond our featured places

Explore more places to eat around Olhão.

Explore the waterfront and central backstreets for more dining choices, then widen the search to Fuseta if your day is already taking you east along the coast. Portuguese restaurants, Italian food, sharing plates and pastry shops give the area several different kinds of meal stop.

Avenida 5 de Outubro and the markets

The waterfront avenue is a clear starting point for a meal, with Portuguese seafood at O Horta, sharing dishes at N24 and Italian food at Pizza na Pedra. The latter is beside the municipal market area.

Rua do Comércio and the streets inland

Step into the central streets for options such as A Chaminé on Rua do Comércio, Tapas e Lendas on Rua Dr. Manuel Arriaga and Mósse! on Rua Teófilo Braga. Their individual food styles broaden the choice beyond the waterfront.

The EN125 side

Kubidoce and O Franguinho are on the main-road side of Olhão. Use their exact addresses rather than expecting them on the market promenade.

A separate visit to Fuseta

Borda d’Água is in Fuseta, within Olhão municipality. Pair it with time around Fuseta’s lagoon-side beach, rather than treating it as an Olhão town-centre restaurant.
