We have visited many times in the past so we knew we wouldn't be disappointed. On this occasion we had grilled black pork and a mixed meat kebab. We had wine by the glass as I was drinking red and husband white. The bill was very reasonable and the service good. We may well return before the end of our... More

The only slight criticism would be that our waitress, though perfectly courteous, seemed quite keen to get us gone. Food was very good, we struck lucky with the wine we chose, a full-bodied red Alentejo from the Borba co-operative. I had squid and wild boar, my wife had fish soup (for a change!) and turbot. All good! Absolutely worth a... More

Both establishments are excellent. They have very different character and charm. The blue door offers great food at excellent value. Cantinho gives you fresh fish and Carlos.

Great experience on dinning and service in lagos. Carlos was great and made us feel like family every night when we arrived. The food was fabulous, the outside dinning is right at one of the oldiest parts of the city. We will definitly come back when we get back to algarve.
