Hi all. I would like to know if there is a really good shellfish restaurant in lagos, or portimao, and the best places to be in lagos on New years eve? All sugestions welcome. Thank you all
the best shellfish in all algerve is made in a tıny little restaurant called "casinha do petisco".
it's located in the old part of lagos and looks like a little crappy snackbar but the owner louis has a golden touch with his food.
ask the locals for the adress.
most people know him because he's so damn good.
the restaurant is just around the corner from "whytes bar".
Thanks! i shall try that place. Ive lived in lagos before but havent been there in years. i used to go to a place called jotta 13, but i will try your suggestion this time. my partner never been to a proper shellfish place yummy. by they way, do you know if its still there that place that makes grilled chicken, take away like.. it used to be near the bus station? Thanks for your help. x
i haven't been to lagos for a while myself so i don't know about the chicken place.
i used to live in lagos myself in 1999 and 2000.
i worked down the marina with the boat excursions.
we might even have met back then :O)
Your face certainly looks familiar! i used to live on a building next to adega da marina lol. I miss those warm summer nights!!

i used to be responsıble for the sale of about half the boat trips leaving lagos.
i worked on the avenida for 2 summer seasons.
i worked with paolo santos and the big boats via sagres and via lagos, plus a few other boats.
i guess i made myself most famous for dating his daughter and having the biggest sh!t fight with him after we broke up in the middle of the avenida :O)
I think it must be wicked to have a father like that :)
Are you still in lagos, or ''around the world''?
i am currently working in turkey as a tour guide, but that is just temporary.
i travel the world these days taking danish hiking groups around the world.
last month was the french alps and next month it's england.
Meia Praia means "Half Beach". It is located about three kilometers northeast of Lagos and is perhaps the reason why most tourists come to Lagos. However, it is not over-crowded by tourists. You have enough space to sunbath or to build a sand castle.
This is seafood cooked and served in a "Cataplana", a traditional pan, generally made of copper. It seem 2 equal shells that close tight, so the food are cooked under pressure and keep all his flavour. It opens on the table and you feel the pleasant smell of fresh coriander, tomatoes, peppers, oignons and obviously the shellfish, all in a mediterranean way. You must look for a Restaurant that have serve this.
Lagos still has a fairly large part of the old city walls left intact.
They really add the the nice vibe of the town and you should make sure to pass by them and have a look at them while you are strolling along the river in Lagos.
Lagos is a small town where lies incredibly crystal clear water beaches. During high season (summer season), prices go up with the tourism and some places get very crowd, so the best thing to do is going during mid-season (april-jun, or sep-oct) but the water may be cold during mid-season.
Praia Dona Ana is one of my favorite beaches in Portugal
Because of its crystal waters snorkel diving is very straightforward there, one can even just take his swim glasses and start exploring the places!
Water sports are also practiced there.
As in all small cities around Portugal people tend to be very warm (off course during high season sometimes they just are stressed with so many people there) and one can find very good fishes to eat there. As elsewhere in Portugal Codfish is the most desired dish by the tourists.
The city is very nice, with some churches, fortresses and historical places to see.
