Drinks & Nightlife
Albufeira Strip: Montechoro - Areias de São João
As the most popular holiday resort in the Algarve, Albufeira has become famous for many reasons, but most notably for "the Strip". Albufeira Strip, as the name suggests, is a long road, Avenida Dr. Francisco Sà Carneiro, running through both Montechoro and Areias de São João; and hence there is the 'north strip' in Montechoro and the 'south strip' in Areias de São João.

This is the bar & restaurant area in the old town, its very lively and the people are usually a bit older than the other strip.

It's not on the main bar restaurant streets but you should go there as it's supe close. The service is great and the atmosphere is great. Claudia and her husband are wonderful. The cheeseburger was amazing and only 3€, the onion rings were delicious. I didn't try the chips bit supposed to be yummy. Claudia does everything from scratch so it's super fresh. I will back there next time.

“Amazing fresh fish until you are stuffed” Its 10€ for all you can eat full fresh grilled fish with tomato salad and potatoes. Its a very busy restaurant but well worth it. Ok the service is not the best but the waiters are very busy running around with trays of fresh fish. A lot of locals so it has to be good. The tarte de natas is to die for. The place is off the road, its looks a bit run down but worth the visit and it cost me 13.85 for 6 fish, dessert. bottle of beer

The quality of food is just excellent with really good prices! You have choices and the service is really well and quick.
You won't be able to regret your meal! Impossible! The setting was calm and very clean, plenty of staff who could not do enough for you.

It's after the marina to the left. You need to put your name on the list at the bar and wait (I waited 20 Minutes Sunday lunch time) I didn't get a menu just told the dish of the day, I chose the oven cooked cod fish and it was amazing. I also had a cheese starter. It's a very noisy busy restaurant but the staff are lovely. Next time I will be prepared to order a fresh fish. Very reasonably priced.
