He allowed us to sample many flavors before we made our choices, which was difficult because the flavors were all so good. For me, the standouts were the Nata Goiaba, Mousse de Maracuja, Frutta do Bosco, and the Jamaica. I wish we had enough time left in our trip to return!

They also have a specialty of encasing the ice cream with chocolate. Staff spoke English perfectly well and teased us to charge €100 for our gelato. We didn't ask to sample any. Hubby wanted the strawberry. It was delicious - flavorful and refreshing. A simple cone with a single scoop is €3. The price is fair.

Delicious gelato! Reminds me of the gelato I got while I was in Italy. We found this place the…read morefirst night in Lagos and didn't go anywhere else. Some flavors are the same but they rotate other flavors. We went there 3 nights in a row! We enjoyed the flavors of Panna cotta, pastel de nata, coffee, chocolate, caramel etc. It's made fresh daily and there is always tons of people trying to get this delicious gelato!

This was located right across from our bed and breakfast. Our first night there, i noticed that the…read moreline was very long, longer than the other gelato places that occupy the old town center of Lagos. Curiosity got the best of us so we figured we would try. It did not disappoint! By the time we decided to buy some gelato, a majority of their flavors were out (it was already 11:30pm). We opted for a one scoop of chocolate since we were just sampling. Very good, not too bitter and not too sweet. Had just the right amount of flavor needed and did not taste artificial. The cone didn't taste like any regular cone, it had a light airy crisp to it. I told my husband i wanted to come back here before we left. I made good on my word and immediately came the next day. This time, there was no line and it had just opened. I got to meet the owner and he makes all the flavors right in the shop. I asked to sample the coffee and bueno flavor and they were amazing! (Yes i was a fatty and got 2 scoops). The prices are very reasonable and they don't skimp on the amount of gelato they give per scoop. Its located in the old town of Lagos. There's quite a handful of gelato places there, but don't miss out on this one! Fresh flavors made daily with the freshest ingredients. Owner is a really nice guy as well! Go ahead and Treat yourself to a scoop or two!

Great place to have lunch or dinner. There are a plethora of restaurants to choose from in Olhos de…read moreÁgua, this is one of the bigger ones and it is close to one of the beaches. Honestly, we initially chose this restaurant mainly because the bathrooms were wheelchair accessible (my mom has trouble walking). The waitress was so nice and helpful that we decided to eat there for lunch. It wasn't busy because we were there during the low season but even so there was plenty of (shaded and sheltered) seating available. Sitting in a bit of shade, in a light breeze from the Atlantic Ocean, we had a very enjoyable lunch consisting of shrimp in garlic and a pizza di Campo (thin crust, salami, onion, mushroom and pesto). It took about 20ish minutes for the food to come out but when you are sitting on a comfortable sunlit terrace, in an old Portuguese town, watching people stroll by on the cobblestone streets, with the dim sounds of the ocean waves breaking in the background, you tend not to be in a hurry. Our food was pretty good, better than I would have expected from a restaurant we kind of randomly chose. They offer a nice variety of appetizers, sandwiches, pastas and pizzas. The desert menu also looked very enticing and they apparently make their own gelato. Unfortunately, we were too full to try it. Solid four stars, maybe even five stars, if the gelato lives up to its promise in the future. We would definitely consider coming back!

The Dom Rodrigo, thin egg yolk threads in a sweet syrup and wrapped in colorful foil, was saccharine and unique. I originally thought it was pumpkin, and was surprised to learn it was made from egg. The Doce Fino was so fun with all the different fruit and animal shapes. They were the best marzipan I've ever had, a soft crumbly texture with a light almond flavor. The Queijo de figo, fig cheese, consisted of fig and almonds compressed into a fig cheese. It had a good fig taste with some star anise flavoring

We are a family of 5 - 3 adults and 2 kids under 10, and the staff was super attentive and friendly. They did a great job communicating with us considering we all spoke English. It was a treat that the menu came in Portuguese, French and English It is a beautiful shop, and in addition to the food looking like a work of art - it tasted delicious! Everything was super fresh and uncomplicated/unprocessed. For breakfast we tried some spiked coffee and fresh juices. The adults ordered Eggs Benedict with parma ham or smoked salmon. The kids got a "make your own breakfast" of yogurt with granola and fresh fruit, and a croissant with a chocolate spread. We also got pastries to go for dessert later; a beetroot cream filled roll, fruit and custard pastry, lemon bar, cookie, and the lightest whipped cheesecake I've ever tasted. The only downside to the whole experience is that they are closed on Tuesdays (which really isn't a downside, people do deserve a day off)
