Review: Beach Restaurant Chá Com Água Salgada

 Location and Atmosphere 🌊

Chá Com Água Salgada, located in the beautiful dunes of Manta Rota beach, offers a unique combination of serene dining experiences with the salty sea air. Located at R. da Praia da Manta Rota, 8900-038 Vila Nova de Cacela, it is only a 15-minute drive from both Tavira and Vila Real. Parking is free. From the restaurant, you can walk over a wooden walkway to the large, flat, and fantastic beach of Praia da Manta Rota.

Reception and Service 🌟

Upon arrival, you are personally welcomed, something often missing at trendy beach venues. The calm and relaxed atmosphere, combined with good and experienced staff, makes this a top experience. The restaurant is a modern wooden pavilion with a small terrace for coffee and cocktails at the front and a spacious indoor and outdoor terrace with sea views.
