Choupana Gordinni
Well worth the detour for this Italian / seafood restaurant! Be sure to book ahead and ask for a window-side table!
This is a market that has been revamped to include several stores and eateries. My favourites are Marisco na Praça, which specialises in fish and shellfish, Italian restaurant Gulli, which is great for kids, Pátio do Petisco, where you can split some snacks, and Grão d’Amor, which has toasted sandwiches, salads and the like.

Drinks & Nightlife
This roof-top is ideal for a sunset drink.
On a curious note ... the apartment used to have a stunning view over the bay ... until this hotel was built and cut most of the sea-view. But that was a long-time ago, and there are no hard-feelings. Go in and enjoy a drink!
