Restaurante Casa Algarvia
Restaurant
👍👍 It is a perfect location for dinner after my watching the sunset at Algar Seco, with only 10’minutes of walking. I had a roast cod for the first time in life, and the portion of the seafood dish was huge!! The restaurant looked to be very popular for the locals, it was completely full between 7-8pm...

A Paleta
Restaurant
👍 Great Portuguese restaurant with friendly staff and an extensive (affordable) menu. The T-bone steak is highly recommended and the desserts are made in-house. There is a Fado performance every Friday night, so booking is essential.

Boneca Bar
Restaurant
👍👍 This was recommended to me. Set within the Algar Seco, you need to go down the many steps (safe though) to access this cute bar. I only had light tapas here and was planning to return for a proper dinner but it didn’t work out as the kitchen closes at 8:30pm - I got there after admiring the late sun...

Fábrica Velha
Bakery
👍 Nice bakery close to the center of Carvoeiro. Staff is very professional and helpful. The pasteis de nata are delicious! The other pastries are just ok and the croissants not worth it, really dry. Coffee is also average. Orange juice is fresh and very good

Earth Shop & Café
Bistro
👍👍 Little cafe and shop on the top of Carvoeiro. 5 minutes away from the center. Inside the cafe is a small shop with artisanal salt, jam, honey and other specialities from local producers. Nice to see the support here!
The food was amazing! I ordered the earth Mercado brunch with the sunrise smoothie...

Gurkha Kitchen Nepalese & Indian Cuisine
Indian restaurant
👍👍 We had a nice meal here on Sunday. Nice, relaxing atmosphere, tasty starters and mains. Although there was a slight mixup with my main course, it was sorted soon afterwards by the staff who were excellent, and we got a complimentary drink at the end. If you're in Carvoeiro, you should definitely giv...

O Stop
Restaurant
👍 We were pretty surprised by this place.
We ordered the family plate for 2 and the rustic plate, the fish plate was pretty generous and tasty. Rustic one had some pretty nice cheeses but we would have had enough with the fish one.
Service was kind but also a bit slow.

Villa Medici
Restaurant
👍 Great service. Black spaghetti with seafood was tasty. Gorgonzola, spinach and garlic pinsa (pizza)- under seasoned and could hardly taste the gorgonzola and garlic undercooked. 10 minute walk from the beach.

Oásis
Steak house
👍 Piri-piri sauce on shrimps was very delicious. Portuguese style steak was ok.
Thick ceramic plates keep the food warm longer 👍

Café Fino
Cafe
👍 Cosy place with friendly staff. Best Açai bowl in carvoeiro and great pancakes. The other food we tried was just average (I don't recommend the pasteis de nata) We went there several times and it was very convenient for a quick bite or breakfast.

O Rústico Restaurante
Restaurant
😠 The only star I have to give it goes to the location and ambiance of the place. The other 4 stars are missing because of staff incompetence. I haven't seen so many waiters for 10 tables in my entire life yet we waited to be served for more than 15min and when they took away our plates for 25 min no...

Mar d'Fora
Restaurant
😠 Surprised at the rating of this place. At 10% capacity, off-hours, shoulder-season and were denied table with ocean view because they didn’t want to bother separating the tables. Said that’ve walked all the way up for the ocean view but to no avail. “No time for that” they said. I’d be worried about...

O Escondidinho
Restaurant
👍👍 This restaurant is well out the way but you can find it with Google maps. There was plenty of parking and plenty of space inside, although we were told it is so popular you have to book. They do a fixed price meal of €15 for that you get your bread & olives, a starter of soup, main course choice of...

Taberna Algarvia 31

👍👍 What a great find on the backstreets in Lagoa a traditional family run Portugese restaurant.
Lovely owners and really nice food and very reasonable, we will definitely be back.
We had the grilled mixed meat and tuna belly and it was really nice.
It looks small from the outside but is much bigger...

Chef’s Kitchen Carvoeiro

👍👍 I have been lucky enough to eat and work in fine dining restaurants and try good food and different cuisines, but so far this place has won my heart! With no exaggeration I had tears of joy. Service, food and cocktails was top quality! It was the perfect end of the night and our holiday!

Taste Restaurante
Portuguese restaurant
🫤 Quite ironic that the restaurant is called Taste, because that was exactly what the vegan lasagna missed. Note to the chef: vegans eat herbs and spices. This dish lacked both, even salt and pepper, which wasn't offered either. I was so excited because they have 3 vegan main courses, which I totally...
