Breakfast
Fabrica Velha Bakery
Portuguese traditional bakery, everything is fresh and good quality, best option for traditional Portuguese breakfast. It’s around 10min walking from the town house location, very easy walking.
Earth Shop & Cafe
Very good option for a brunch in a very cosy environment and also very short and easy walk from the townhouse.
Musa by Tania
Another great option for brunch or light lunch or pancakes.
Café Fino
Great variety of option between yogurts with granola or toasties or natural juices.
Lunch & Dinner
Rei das Praias
Best fish/sea food restaurant in the region, with a fantastic location – in the beach – in a small town near by – Ferragudo – but it really worth the visit. It’s 10 min drive from the townhouse.
O Indiano
If you like Indian food, this is the best Indian restaurant in Carvoeiro, very good Indian food. There’s a lot of Indian restaurants in the zone, but this is definitely the best option and very close by.
Chef’s Kitchen
Trendy/modern restaurant with a fancy cuisine full of flavours, colours and glamour.
Dom Carvoeiro
A lot of options – meat, fish, pizzas, Portuguese dishes – with an amazing view of the sea 1min walking from the townhouse.
Villa Medici
Very nice option for Italian food in a very pleasant pateo.
Casa Algarvia
Traditional Algarve cuisine, very friendly staff (ask for Mr. Ivo on my behalf) and very good local food. Again, 8min walking from the townhouse, very near by.
Mar d’fora
Just 2min walking distance from the townhouse, with an amazing view of the cliffs and sea you will find very fresh fish and seafood and a very friendly staff.
Bistro Algar Seco
Amazing view and simple meals, nothing very fancy, but the view and the quality of the food are really good, it’s a best option for a light meal or cocktail.
The scenic walk to get there its amazing and you definitely do it by the board walk.
Ice-cream/waffles/Creps
Ice-Cream Palacio do Cone
You will find several options in the town centre but our favourites are definitely – Ice-Cream Palacio do Cone – 2mins walking distance from townhouse.
La Piazza
The best artisanal Italian ice cream in the village of Carvoeiro, and just a 5-minute walking distance from townhouse.
Supermarket
Apolónia Supermercado
You have plenty of small groceries shops in the town centre but to find a proper supermarket you need to drive and the best option in terms of products and variety is definitely Apolónia, it’s 10 min drive but there you can find prepared food with very good quality and several options, international products, very good wine selection, etc…
Intermarché
Other option just nearby Apolónia is Intermarché a Portuguese normal supermarket, less expensive but less fancy too . It’s in the same street of Apolónia, so you can use the map above.
