Arriving in the Algarve for the first time comes with a happy task: deciding what to eat. Portuguese food is approachable and satisfying, and a few dishes are the perfect introduction.
Easy first bites
The prego and the bifana are ideal for a first taste, simple and full of flavour.
Both are quick and easy to eat, so they fit any sightseeing schedule.
Go a little further
The bitoque and peppercorn steak show off more of Portuguese home cooking.
Add bolo do caco with garlic butter and you have a proper introduction.
A good first stop
In Loule, Pregaria gathers several of these classics in one place.
It is an easy, welcoming way to start exploring the local flavours.
