Restaurant Brisa do Mar in Quinta do Lago is an absolute gem on the Algarve coast. Situated on the first floor of the five-star hotel Quinta do Lago, it offers stunning ocean views.

What immediately stands out is the accessible luxury that welcomes you as soon as you step inside. As a former hotel manager at Golden Tulip, I can appreciate the attention to detail.

With both a lunch and dinner menu, there's something for everyone. The lunch menu offers delightful options such as sandwiches, burgers, pizza, salads, and bowls, including fish, meat, and vegan choices, starting at €15.

The diverse dinner menu, with plenty of gluten-free options, starts at €17.

Despite the higher prices compared to average restaurants, it's still an affordable alternative to Michelin-starred establishments, offering the same level of luxury.

The restaurant shares a fantastic view with Gigi Beach pavilion and is close to the beach. The presence of a conservatory and a terrace, all with ocean views, makes it even more appealing. The adjacent cocktail bar and lounge add an extra dimension to the experience, something rare in the Algarve.

The friendly and professional waitstaff complete the service, and the flavorful dishes make Brisa do Mar an absolute recommendation for food enthusiasts. This is a place where we will definitely return to.
