One of my favorite beach towns, Burgau! I love this place. Its steep cobbled streets, blossoming bougainvillea, blue sandy cove and slow paced living. It's also the place where I live in the Algarve when I'm there. A cute little beach flat - for rent on Airbnb. This beautiful tiny fishing village with so much to offer.
In this blog post, I take a little look at some of my favorite restaurants in in Burgau. So wondering where to eat in Burgau? Look no further! Wether you're searching for the perfect sunset drink, traditional Portuguese dinner or the best breakfast in town, I've got you! Here is my personal selection of the best restaurants in Burgau.
MIAM
Lunch & dinner
This place just has it all. An amazing view of the ocean, chilled vibes, good food and great service. You have to love it. I love their smoothies and dinner menu. Especially the ameijoas (clams). There are also enough choices for vegetarians (which can be hard in Portugal 😉). One of the best restaurants in Burgau!
Love Burgau
Coffee, lunch, dinner & drinks
The location of this chilled little cafe is amazing, tucked away in the steep cobbled streets of Burgau. I love sitting here and watching people wandering by on their way to the beach. The perfect cafe to unwind after a big beach day! My fave time to visit is around 18:00 for a cocktail and some bites and enjoy the great vibe of this cafe and the slow paced living of this town. Tip: have a pizza here, they're the best off the Algarve!
Corso & Cafe Horizon
Breakfast & dinner
One of the best places in town for pizza, breakfast & coffee! The atmosphere is cozy, the service is excellent, and the pizza is absolutely delicious. I recently discovered that it's open in the morning by Cafe Horizon, and they serve the perfect breakfast. It quickly became my favorite place for a morning coffee and poached eggs. Add a nice view of the town and ocean, along with a bit of morning sun, and you’ve got the perfect way to start your day! Be sure to check this place out when you’re in Burgau—you won’t be disappointed.
Sul
Breakfast, coffee, lunch and pizza
Sul is the place everyone’s talking about! This charming little restaurant boasts a stunning view of the ocean and serves absolutely delicious food with a truly innovative menu. You’ll definitely find dishes here that you’ve never tried before!
I’m a huge fan of their unique offerings, excellent coffee, fresh juices, and impressive selection of natural wines. Sul is a real gem for Burgau!
Tip: Whether you're looking for dinner, drinks, lunch, or all three, Sul is the perfect spot. But don’t miss out on breakfast—it’s simply the best!
Sul Cafe, Burgau
Cafe do Burgau - beach break (super market)
Breakfast, coffee, lunch and pizza
My favorite breakfast in town! See the cinnamon buns in the picture? 👇 You need to try these! Don't worry, they also have plenty more healthy options but the freshly baked pastries and bread is what I love most here. The cafe is located in the same building as the little local supermarket, Mais Perto. You can enjoy your meal outside in front of the supermarket (doesn't sound great, but is actually lovely). Prices are very fair.
Beach bar Burgau
Lunch & drinks
Honestly, the service leaves much to be desired. So why do I still have this place on my list? It's all about the location! Situated directly on the beach, the view with your sunset beer is unparalleled.
