Sagres doesn't do fine dining with white tablecloths. It does fresh fish pulled from the Atlantic that morning, grilled over charcoal and served with nothing more than salt, olive oil and a cold beer. The food here is honest, local and shaped by the same wild coast that draws surfers and adventurers from across Europe. From traditional seafood restaurants to laid-back surf bars, here's where to eat and drink in Sagres and the western Algarve.
Sagres is a small town with a surprisingly good food scene. Most restaurants are clustered around the centre and along Rua Comandante Matoso, all within easy walking distance. The best advice? Ask what's fresh today, the daily catch always beats the printed menu.
