    Mum's has an unique menu, not a place I'd normally try, but when on vacation one should explore…read more Their menu is vegetarian, it does though include fish. They have food combinations that are daring, out of the usual, but most importantly scrumptious. They serve fish caught fish, so the menu options change as to the fish; the night we were there they had fresh corvina, paired with lemon risotto, just lovely. We started with a carrot garnish/ purée, onto carrot bisque soup, mix green salad topped with sesame seeds and chickpeas, finishing with the corvina. Dessert was a muffin of sorts spilt in 2, the middle had strawberries & cream, while the top had been drizzled with brandy. Wine selection was good, local wines were well presented. If you're traveling thru Sagres it is a most stop. FYI - take cash, no credit cards accepted.

    This was an excellent restaurant, more suited to couples or groups of friends. It is a perfect…read morebalance between laid back Portuguese vibe and contemporary gastronomic execution. Ran by a long time Sommelier, definitely worth visiting when in the area. I ordered their deep fried octopus dish with a barley risotto, I was told the octopus was caught wild off the coast 10 minutes down the road. It melted in my mouth like butter, easily the best executed octopus I've ever enjoyed. Will definitely be going back as the rest of the menu grasped my attention they are always coming up with new ideas.

    Wow. What a surprise that food this good came from a little town like this! We were staying nearby…read moreand are vegetarians who prefer locally sourced ingredients. What a delight to find this gem of a restaurant! The lovely waiter (Lebanese cutie whose name we didn't get) was excellent and quite helpful. He answered our questions and led us to choose fantastic dishes. We decided to share two appetizers and two mains. We selected the corvino and the tempura veggies, both excellent. Our entrees were the incredibly flavorful lentils with eggplant and the risotto. Both were melt-in-your-mouth delicious! Although we were more than completely stuffed we were talked into taking a slice of the vegan ginger cake with us. So glad we did - the coconut frosting was the perfect amount of sweet and the cake the right amount of moist. As we were leaving our lovely waiter gave us each a taste of moroño, the distilled local berry. It's something like 40% alcohol and will our hair on your chest! Definitely firewater! Apparently the locals drink it with breakfast! We will be back to Elska should we return to this region of Portugal!

    Wow. This was my favorite restaurant in the Aljezur area. If they have monkfish on the menu, get…read moreit! Their menu changes frequently, based on the fresh fish and produce they can get for each season. My husband and I spoke to the proprietors, who said they were trained in London and then by Portuguese Michelin-rated restauranteurs. It shows. Excellent food; excellent presentation; excellent service; charming, casual atmosphere. Fabulous.

Nuno was channelling not only his Grandmother's spirit but ALL Grandmother's ... I only wish I could still have the opportunity to bring my Grandma here. The only problem is that I am staying an hour away and I wish there was a way to know what Grandma would serve us for Breakfast!!

The decor is rustic, like grandmother's kitchen. Let me say, the food was all very fresh. We started with garlic bread and sautéed mushroom appetizers. They were both quickly devoured. There is an emphasis on fresh herbs in every dish. It children opted for chicken nuggets and fries (they could have had steak.... kids), which were probably the only things that were not freshly made. I have never ordered stew in a restaurant (that I can recall), but I was not disappointed. My wife ordered grilled tuna, served with an herb butter. The stew was delicious, simmered in brandy and herbs, with carrots, celery, and maybe leeks. The beef was tender. The tuna steak was delicious as well. We had house wine, so nothing spectacular. Our meal came in at 60€, out the door. For our American friends, that includes tip/service, two sodas, one bottle of water, three glasses of wine, for two adults and two children. Service is relaxed, meaning slow by American standards. You have to adjust your expectations of you are looking to just dine and dash. Our food orders came out in a reasonable amount of time and we did not feel rushed. Like most places in Portugal, we had multiple people waiting on us, in other words not one dedicated server. They were very friendly, attentive, and wanted to make sure we enjoyed everything. Just a couple tips. If you want outdoor seating, you must call for reservations. We did not and ate inside, which was fine. This was the best meal we have had in Portugal. This is comfort food at its best. We were made to feel very welcome. The prices were very reasonable. I hope to eat there again before we leave. Eat here, you won't be disappointed. Highly, highly recommended.

This is a testimony to how amazing it is here! The pizza's are fantastic yes, and there is a good selection of wines and beers to wash it down with, however it's the service and atmosphere that make this such a sought after place! Casa Padaria is owned by a couple, Juliette and Ben, Juliette is front of house and Ben runs the kitchen. The both do an absolutely brilliant job and I leave here every time with a full belly and a big smile on my face. Lovely people, lovely pizza, lovely place!

Pizza's have lovely thin bases with tasty toppings, a good selection of 'set' pizzas on the menu to cater for most tastes and the option to create your own. There is also a 'special' pizza featured each week with a more unusual slant. If pizza is not your thing then you can choose from a selection of pastas and salads with vegetarian options too. Starters are also available but I find the pizza is enough, especially to make sure I can fit in one of the delicious homemade desserts. Special mention has to be made of the coleslaw - it is the best ever! You are always guaranteed a warm friendly welcome from Juliette who will make you feel at home and relaxed while waiting for the fabulous food prepared by Ben. If you are around Burgau then a visit here is a must.
