Pavilion Bold Octopus

Nestled within the beautiful nature reserve of Ria Formosa, just off the coast of Almancil in the Quinta do Lago district, Pavilion Bold Octopus offers a unique dining experience accessible via picturesque wooden footbridges. There is (paid) parking nearby for your convenience.

The highlight of this venue is undoubtedly the rooftop terrace, which offers the most breathtaking panoramic views of Almancil's coastline, complete with sandy beaches and endless ocean horizons. The atmosphere exudes a trendy vibe, accompanied by an impressive selection of cocktails. On Sundays, this place comes alive with live music and dancing – truly a highlight!

On the ground floor, a charming terrace near the restaurant's entrance beckons.

While the restaurant is designed with glass walls for abundant natural light and picturesque views, its size detracts from the cozy atmosphere. Additionally, the acoustics leave something to be desired, making conversations during dinner a bit challenging.

Pavilion Bold Octopus offers 3 menu's: regular, gluten-free, and vegan, including dishes like the Poke bowl (€13), Risotto (€15), and Curry with rice (€15).

While the cuisine and service are okay, there are better dining options in the area, as you can find on www.hotspotsalgarve.com.

Nevertheless, the rooftop experience, especially on Sunday afternoons, remains a must-try due to its unparalleled view.

Enjoy your visit!
