Lagos Restaurant Tips by ott2007

Restaurant Name: D.Henrique

Situated on the main street the looks the resturant stand out from the rest with a more business like designed interior. Staff are very professional but not as personal as on more local type of restaurants. If you're into the lobby type of interior and staff that won't bother you with social interactions this is the place for you.

Favorite Dish: The food was flawless and I had the best dish of the week here. Try the D.Henrique salmon - cooked to perfection and with a good combination of flavours.

Restaurant Name: Don Toro

Visited this Angus Steakhous restaurant on Valentines Day and had the todays special including a four meal course and a bottle of sparkling wine. I myself had the grilled swordfish so I can't say anything about the steaks which obvisously is the speciality if this restaurant. Personell (the Dutch owner?) was very social and talkative and we had a pleasent evening. Well worth a try if you want to stay with the steak and skip the starters and desert.

Restaurant Name: O Algarvio

Off the beaten track next to Hotel Tivoli Lagos you'll will find this hidden gem. Nothing special regarding interior just a typical local restaurant. Staff a bit reserved but if you take the first step you'll get a good interaction and some smiles. I hade the grilled swordfish platter and this was absolutely perfect. This meal is something that I will remember long after all other memories of Lagos has faded. If you want to eat typical algarvian cooking and to be sure to get really fresh ingredients and also be sure to have it in a typical local setting. This is the place for you.

Restaurant Name: Cantinho Algarvio

This local type restaurant on the main restaurant street has a very inviting meny with additional evening specials. As i most local restaurant the theme is fish. However the food wasn't up to standard and there is a lot of similar restaurants to choose from. Guests was also treated differently and we just didn't feel welcomed. Main courses was substandard and starters was a disaster.
