I'm so happy that we can finally review Portugal - as my summer destination for the past few years, it gives me great pleasure to be able to recommend all my favourite places!
Onda Luz is just one of those places; affordable, relaxing, consistent and 100% genuine. Carlos and his guys do an amazing job and know the majority of customers by name. Go in more than once on your trip and they'll remember you.
The hanging kebabs here are to die for (the Oast House in Manchester has nothing on them!) Chicken and chorizo is a firm favourite of mine, with a side of chips - this is a fairly British part of the Algarve after all! The fish is amazing, completely fresh, with a different catch of the day to choose from each day, with the option of it being boned or coming to the table whole.
Wine is well priced, though nothing quite beats the 3 euro green wine that you can buy in the supermarket. Go when they're feeling really friendly and you'll be treated to a complimentary glass of port at the end of your meal.
If you're going to Lagos - or, more specifically, Praia da Luz - this is a gem worth visiting. read more
