Typical Portuguese cuisine. Listed in the famous Guide Michelin several years in a row... And located 150 meters from our penthouse! You can see the entrance hall to the restaurant through our bedrooms' windows, so it's in-cre-di-bly convenient to celebrate a special event without having to drive back ;-)

One of our all-time favourites located in the pedestrian center of Lagos, only a few kilometers away from Luz. The menu is typical, products are fresh, you can handpick your fish from the "catch of the day" platter, and the staff is both friendly and professional. The decor of the restaurant itself reflects the history of Portugal, both on the walls and in the wine cellar.

Loulé features both an open air market and an indoor market. The MAR Shopping Center (both regular and outlet) on the A22 ("zona comercial/Ikea") is also a must if you are looking for clothes, shoes, cosmetics, etc.
