"It's one of my faves beach spots in Algarve! Delicious food, fantastic atmosphere, and even better Sangria! Everyone is super friendly! They have live music most of the weekends as well with the best beach dance floor! Highly recommend! Perfect for days hangouts or evening meal! For dinners, bookings are advised as this place fills up quickly!"

"Club Nau on a Sunday is an epic experience! The live music is always a highlight, guaranteeing a fun time with friends. I've been a number of times, and it never disappoints. The sushi is fantastic, especially the tempura king prawns with kimchi mayonnaise – a must-try! While the cocktails can be a little inconsistent, and the service occasionally slow, the overall experience is a blast. The staff are great, contributing to the lively atmosphere. If you're looking for a fun-filled Sunday with great music and food, Club Nau is the place to be!""

One of our favourite things to do is spend Sunday afternoon at Club Nau, watching the band over some food and a drink or two. The Covid-19 lockdown put an end to this for several weeks, but now “magic Sundays” are back!. Club Nau is a great beach-side restaurant/bar – enjoying a cocktail, looking out over the palms across Praia Grande’s beautiful white sand to the sea, you could easily be in a tropical paradise.
The best restaurants in (and around) Portimão
Situated on the stunning Praia Grande in Ferragudo, just across the Portimão Marina, lies one of my absolute favorite beach bars/restaurants!. This gem is the ideal spot to relish a sunset drink followed by a delectable dinner, all while basking in the captivating view of the sandy bay and the ocean. Indulge in beachside cocktails and savor (optional vegetarian) sushi for a truly delightful experience!

We went there several times, in the summer for a cocktail and in the winter, for lunch. The winter experience was amazing: just two days before Christmas, it was sunny, the beach was beautiful, the service was very good and the food was amazing. We didn't have the exact same vibe whilst going in the summer - it's so cool it's too busy - but we love their open beach front and live music.
A Local’s Guide to Ferragudo l Algarvista
Ferragudu's Terrace is a top dining spot in the Algarve region, famous for its amazing views and traditional Portuguese food. It overlooks the village of Ferragudo and offers sweeping views of the Arade River and the Atlantic Ocean. We’d say it’s a really good dining place to enjoy a meal on their outdoor terrace while taking in the breathtaking scenery.
