Food & Drink in the Algarve
Where locals actually eat, what to order, and the dishes you can't leave without trying.
Traditional Algarvian Food
Algarvian cuisine is built around fresh seafood, cataplana stews, and char-grilled fish. The region has a distinct culinary identity shaped by its Moorish history, Atlantic coast, and market garden interior — different from Lisbon food in ways that matter.
