Tia Alice
There are two reasons to visit Fátima: one is religious, and the other is Tia Alice, a restaurant so iconic that it’s worth a pilgrimage of its own. Elegant and beautifully designed, the restaurant boasts a team of master chefs. In 1993, its matriarch, Maria Alice Marto, earned a Michelin star, which she retained for three years.

Canastra do Fidalgo
Housed in one of those striped, colorful cottages, this restaurant is known for its fresh seafood. The turbot stew is a must-try, as is the eel stew for those who enjoy it. The bright and welcoming space is famous for its bolo de bolacha, often called one of the best in the world.
Tue-Sat 12:00 PM-3:00 PM, 7:00 PM-10:00 PM, Sun 12:00 PM-3:00 PM
Zé Manel dos Ossos
A Coimbra institution since 1959, this tavern is famous for its pork bone dish and its ties to the city’s academic life. The walls are covered with handwritten notes, love messages, and dedications, creating a unique atmosphere. The menu features comforting dishes such as bean rice with pork ribs and grilled octopus.
Mon-Fri 12:30 PM-3:00 PM, 7:30 PM-10:00 PM
MA
Just steps from Sé Velha, the door at 13 Rua do Norte remains closed, but the Michelin plaque leaves no doubt—this is where MA, a Japanese restaurant, is hidden. Ring the doorbell and step into an intimate space with a 12-seat counter and tables for 18. The minimalist atmosphere reflects the menu’s focus on quality and seasonality.
Tue-Sat 7:30 PM-12:00 AM
Palitão
For top-quality meats—plentiful in this region—Palitão is an excellent choice. It combines the warmth of a traditional home with the modernity of a steakhouse, including a unique twist: side dishes are served from a roaming cart.
Mon 7:00 PM-10:30 PM, Tue-Sat 12:00 PM-3:00 PM, 7:00 PM-10:30 PM
Cabra Preta
Born to recreate the flavors of our grandparents' homes with a modern touch, this restaurant features a cozy and elegant dining room inspired by a Beirã-style house. Highlights include venison stew, oven-baked codfish, and Beira-style sarrabulho.
Tue-Sat 12:00 PM-3:00 PM, 7:00 PM-10:00 PM, Sun 12:00 PM-3:00 PM
Mercantel
By the river, right in the city center, Mercantel has two lives, and its latest one has been making waves. Once known for its seafood rice, today it is a hub of creative and dynamic cuisine. Warm lighting, dark tones, and wood create an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere.
Tue-Thu 12:30 PM-12:00 AM, Fri-Sat 12:30 PM-2:00 AM, Sun 12:30 PM-4:00 PM
AKVAVIT
Among the ever-changing novelties and tourist traps, AKVAVIT remains a stronghold of great food in the Vilamoura Marina. Open for nearly 35 years, its menu is Portuguese with Scandinavian influences. The seafood display is enticing, and the cataplanas are a specialty.
Mon-Sun 10:00-23:00.
Pisco
Pisco is proof that vegetarian cuisine can be just as fun and packed with flavor, without any strict rules. The slow-fermented pizzas play a key role on the menu, but the seasonal dishes also stand out, showcasing the chef’s expertise. To drink, there are natural wines. The atmosphere is so cozy, it feels like home.
Mon-Fri 18:00-22:00.
