Located in a remarkable spot overlooking the sea a short distance from Vila Nova de Milfontes, you could say that the location is the essence of this restaurant, but that would be to devalue the service and above all the culinary offerings that can be found here. O Porto das Barcas manages to intertwine these three points in an admirable and original way, offering a place where hospitality and kindness go hand in hand with gastronomy full of imagination based on traditional cuisine which is almost sacred in these parts.

O f course the fish and seafood- always fresh! -are king here, with the fishing just a few steps below and within sight. It all results from team work and a great relationship with the fishermen. The specialities are conceived by the owner and put into practice by the talented cook. Fresh local vegetables are also close by.

So just to whet the appetite, we have Gambas à Brás (prawns), Alentejo bread with goats cheese, local sausage with courgette and cheese or pasta and fish with the aroma of fresh mint. For dessert, the chocolate mousse with Fleur de Sal (sea salt) and Virgin olive oil is already a mark of the House. The sparkling sangria with red fruits and a rich wine cellar with good Portuguese wines with Alentejo wines leading the way are also a mark of this restaurant.

The white tables, the spectacular view over the harbour (das Barcas), the good taste that prevails and the serenity that is felt are all an immediate invitation to stay! The music is ever present, but at an almost imperceptible level, beach rhythms, as the view demands.
