Food Scene
Adega Da Marina
35 Av. dos DescobrimentosLots of people and long queues, but good food at good price.
FAVORITE RESTAURANT! Good grilled food and good price. Only lunches! The restaurant is situated outside Lagos, so you need a car, but it is worth the short trip from Lagos to Odiaxere. The restaurant can be a little difficult to see, but when you see all the cars parked, on your right side, you have found the it. The kids will love the small farm just inside the restaurant. You can eat inside or outside the restaurant, and if you want to avoid que, eat you lunch between (14:30-15.00). Estrada Nacional 125 Sítio da Torre, 8600-256 Odiáxere, +351 282 798 205, Closed Sundays.
