What to expect

O Paulo occupies the headland beside Arrifana Fortress rather than the beachfront below. The outlook takes in the fishing port and Arrifana coast, making the location part of a sit-down lunch or dinner.

Grilled fish and shellfish dominate the extensive menu, with seafood selections dependent on the catch. Cataplanas and rice dishes for two suit sharing; meat, pasta and a chickpea curry give groups other choices. Ask about the day’s whole fish and how it will be portioned before ordering.

Planning your visit

  • Book for the Arrifana restaurant; the group also operates other venues.
  • Seafood and fresh-fish selections depend on the day’s catch.
