Beyond our featured places
Quarteira has many more cafés, pastry shops and neighbourhood food businesses than this featured selection. Walk inland as well as along the promenade for casual meals; nearby Vilamoura expands the choice but does not replace the town’s own restaurants.
The fish-market end of the waterfront is a natural place to look for Portuguese fish and seafood. Avenida Infante de Sagres continues along the seafront with restaurants, cafés and ice-cream shops, including Madeira-influenced cooking.
Rua Vasco da Gama adds wine and petiscos away from the promenade, while Rua do Leste has further restaurant choices towards the eastern end. These are useful alternatives when you want a different atmosphere from the market frontage.
Vilamoura Marina offers Italian, Indian, Portuguese and contemporary dining nearby. It is a separate restaurant district from Quarteira’s market and promenade; the featured order puts Quarteira itself first.
