Beyond our featured places
Luz has further cafés and restaurants beyond these featured places. Compare the seafront menus with those in the surrounding resort streets, using Burgau or Lagos when you want a different town for a meal.
The beach-front avenue and Rua da Praia bring together tapas, café stops and casual meals close to Luz beach. Boaty’s and the Luz branch of Nah Nah Bah have separate booking arrangements.
Fortaleza da Luz offers a historic seafront setting. Chicca’s is now within Estrela da Luz, so use the current resort address rather than searching only along the promenade.
Burgau gives you a smaller beach-village alternative to the west; Lagos adds a much larger old-town restaurant area to the east. Both are separate trips, shown after the choices within Luz.
Over 30 places to eat, drink and find a new favourite around Praia da Luz. Take a wander, browse the menus and make room for a few delicious discoveries of your own.
