By far the most stunning local restaurant, Evaristo is a seafood specialist sitting just over the headland between Quinta Da Saudade and Albufeira. Nestled between the impressive rocky coves of Praia do Evaristo, this al-fresco dining experience is well worth the slightly higher price tag. There is no menu, and guests are encouraged to discuss their preferences with the chef in order to select their food. Evaristo is best saved for a special night as a more refined dining experience.
