What to expect

The family-run restaurant sits on Meia Praia rather than among the historic-centre streets. Its kitchen draws on fish and shellfish, meat from Portuguese producers and local-style petiscos. Beach and bar services form part of the wider venue.

Use the restaurant’s menu and reservation route for a meal, and make any beach-service enquiry separately. The Meia Praia address matters when arranging the journey from central Lagos or Praia da Luz. It is a practical choice for combining beach time with a sit-down lunch or dinner.

Planning your visit

  • Located on Meia Praia.
  • Restaurant reservations and other beach services are separate arrangements.
