Squeezed in among many other beachfront restaurants touting usual international fare, this spot serves up fresh-made Portuguese as well as other Mediterranean dishes—tapas style. There's a climber-covered canopy to keep you sheltered from the sun on its cool terrace, with quirky decorations all over the place.
One of the city's first wine shops, Loja do Vinho has a cozy cellar lined with hundreds of bottles from all over the world. Plates of cured meats, boards of local cheeses, and bowls overflowing with olives make good companions to the many varieties of wine on offer here or on the tiny outdoor terrace. If you enjoy the bottle you had with your meal, you can buy another to take home.
