It was, in a word, fantastic. First off-the service. The gentleman who attended our table was delightful. Patient in explaining the dishes, his favorites (which we ordered), and just a great sense of humor and kindness about him. Next, and importantly, the food was amazing. We had the Stonbass and the Turbot with potatoes and a mixed salad. Grilled to perfection, fresh as could be. The meal was so good. My partner had the lemon meringue (after the pastry chef suggested it). Light and lovely. It was a great meal. A great spot. A great staff. We could not have asked for more. Neither could you. Do it!

The best part of our entire dining experience was the kind beautiful smile and expert service by the young woman with beautiful black braids. Her name may have been Erika (she's expecting also). What a gem of an employee and definitely an asset to this restaurant. All in all a great lunch at a traditional Sagres family restaurant!!

Great roadside restaurant right on the way to the Sagres fort.

To walk into the left hand side after they have been cooking is to inhale the richest purest aroma of fish broth. A promising sign of things to come. We started with their appetizer plate (a ubiquitous element to Portuguese meals- offered without ordering, although not free) with tasty cheese, olives, bread, and anchovy paste. For the meal we had Sagres local beers, and the regional algarve specialty of clams in a butter-garlic sauce and then one of A Sagres' famous fish stews. This is a BIG pot of broth with rice at the bottom and many kinds of fish and prawn cooked with it. It is like a magnificent soup version of a paella. With just this starter, small entree, and big soup entree we were completely full. After the meal we took cafe espressos and a slice of almond orange cake. We were deeply satisfied, and the service, while not the fastest, was very friendly.

The menu is small and the fish options are regularly changing and updating as to what is fresh catch that day. This meal was for my girlfriends birthday and I had popped in a few days before to book the table and to ask if I could arrange for a birthday 'token' for the girlfriend. I had a cake with a candle in mind but Daniel, head waiter and son of the Chef arranged for some fresh flowers to be set on the table as we arrived - a fantastic touch and one greatly appreciated! On to the food! My girlfriend and I both fancied Seabass so we opted for the large fish to share, this came with potatoes and fresh vegetables. The best part is that they come and Fillet the fish right in front of your eyes. Daniel, head waiter, used just a fork and a spoon to perfectly remove the fish of all bones and place some fantastic Seabass on our plates. Perhaps one of the higher end places in Burgau but most definitely worth the money. Bread starter, Fish dinner for 2 and a bottle of wine set us back €63 euros. €63 euros well spent.
