Restaurant Al Sud, a gem in Western Algarve, offers an exquisite dining experience that's perfect for a romantic, luxurious evening.

With its Michelin star, stunning modern architecture, and breathtaking views of Lagos bay, it's a true standout.

The building is a blend of strength and friendliness, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Inside, the ambiance is light, stylish, and contemporary, with space for up to 24 guests and a cozy bar for pre-dinner cocktails.

Al Sud offers a choice between two tasting menus: the regular menu at 160 euros or the vegan option at 120 euros.

Your dining experience begins with a fragrant hand-washing ritual at the table, setting the tone for the evening.

The culinary journey is a delight, featuring dishes expertly crafted with local ingredients, like leeks with Alentejo peanuts, roasted cauliflower, Monchique mushrooms, and tofu with quinoa. The wine selection is also impressive.

The staff, led by the charming Beatrice and her team, is attentive and professional. Chef Louis Anjos personally checks in to ensure your satisfaction.

Despite the many courses, the pacing is just right, allowing you to savor every moment. And don't miss the divine desserts, especially the sweet potato puree with almond and the almond-infused final dessert.

Al Sud is a must-visit, and we're sure to return. Highly recommended for a memorable dining experience in the Algarve!
