Beyond our featured places
Browse the old-town streets for Portuguese menus, then explore the marina and Praia da Rocha for beach dining and evening resort life.
The older waterfront around Largo da Barca offers traditional restaurants and petiscos in a different setting from the beach resort. It is a useful area for fish, cockles, regional stews and a seated Portuguese meal.
Rua Direita adds cafés, sweets and small food businesses to the dining choice. Casa da Isabel and Maria do Mar show two different reasons to stop here: cakes and conservas-based tasting plates.
For beach dining or a marina terrace, head to Praia da Rocha. It belongs to the same urban area but has a separate resort atmosphere; choose it deliberately rather than confusing the marina with the old town’s riverfront.
Over 700 places to eat, drink and find a new favourite around Portimão. Take a wander, browse the menus and make room for a few delicious discoveries of your own.
