    We are regulars at Prato Cheio, and their portuguese menu is varied and comprehensive. The fish is always fresh, and not many restaurants offer a cataplana for one. Excellent all round, highly recommended.

    Local restaurant serving traditional Portuguese food. Full of locals on a Friday evening. We had the dish of the day- a bean stew with different cuts of meat in it. Very tasty. Great value. Would recommend but make sure you book ahead.

    Food was delicious and the staff were very helpful and friendly. All the portions were very generous. The red snapper was particularly enjoyed and it would likely be ordered again. A full list of local desserts is available and all ordered were very tasty. The 3rd time we’ve eaten here. Highly recommended and make sure you book in advance as it gets very busy, particularly with local people!

    We were looking for an authentic Portuguese meal, and that is exactly what we got here. Food was amazing, service was great, prices were reasonable. We had the fish cataplana for 2, the Portuguese steak and the pork tenderloin with mushrooms, all of the dishes were delicious. Would definitely recommend.

    Food and service are excellent and prices are very reasonable. We had a lunch and a dinner here. It's away from the tourist area and many local people eat here. Lots of choice too and very warm atmosphere.

    Delicious meat skewer. Very generous portions. Unless you are a big eater, you don’t need any extras like bread or starters.

    This was our favorite meal in Lagos. We were greeted with friendly faces and warmth. Our food was absolutely delicious! We started with red wine, the anchovies in olive oil and garlic, house baked bread and then shared the fish Cataplana. This was not about new age or modern food, but good, classic preparation with high quality ingredients. We finished off with espresso and cheesecake. I wasn't sure which dessert to choose, so the owner escorted me back to view all of them and make a selection. Very kind and hospitable. Definitely recommend.

    Food was tasty and well presented as always. We both had the pork & prawn skewers which were excellent, then a couple of very nice desserts from the display cabinet which the waiter took time out to explain and recommend for us. All in all a great dining experience at very reasonable prices. We paid €52 for a small sharing starter, mains, desserts and two drinks each. It's a little bit out of the centre but well worth the effort.

    Since the restaurant was busy, it's a bit hot at the dining area without AC.

    The food here is amazing! The seafood rice on Sunday's are worth the wait all week. Book a table. Eating lunch on a weekday is also a treat- the daily specials are flavourful and so filling. Put it on your list!

    The Cataplana was very good, full of good portions of fish. Grilled prawns to start were excellent. Wine great. Services was attentive and very friendly

    The service was awful. The man who served us seemed annoyed we had turned up, was unhelpful and unwelcoming. The quality of the food was appalling. Reheated glop is the best description. It was such a disappointment. My husband's meal was barely edible, and the presentation of the food was similar to how my teenage son might prepare and present a meal. Shockingly bad

    Podia ter dito na própria altura que não estava a gostar Seria fácil remediar toda a situação Pois disse me a mim que estava tudo muito bem e não comia sobremesa por estar cheio Afinal mentiu Obrigada de qualquer forma Grande abraço

    Really nice food and a great buzzy atmosphere. Restaurant was full of locals in big groups having a lovely time. It all added to the family feel of the place. Very good value too for the quality of the food. We’ll definitely be back when next in Lagos

    Typical Portuguese menu, very varied and extensive. The cataplana for 1 person is very good, laden with 4 different fish and prawns and clams. Portions are very generous and prices very reasonable. Would highly recommend a visit for lunch. Booking very advisable.
