Beyond our featured places
The selection covers seafood, Portuguese cooking, Moorish-influenced food, wine and café stops. Silves has additional local restaurants beyond the main sightseeing streets; decide whether you want to remain on the castle hill or eat lower down before choosing.
Rua do Castelo and Largo Jerónimo Osório have cafés and restaurants that suit a pause during a heritage visit. Choose between a coffee-and-cake stop and a fuller meal rather than assuming every café serves the same food all day.
Rua Comendador Vilarinho, Rua 25 de Abril and Rua Elias Garcia add seafood and Portuguese restaurants below the castle. Largo Coronel Figueiredo and Largo do Mercado place further choices near the bridge and market area.
Recanto dos Mouros is on the Monte Branco side behind the castle, while Ponte Romana is at Horta da Cruz. Both need their own address and approach; neither should be treated as a restaurant inside the castle visitor route.
