Not in Vilamoura, but in Bouliqueime, set amongst orange groves in the hills, so you'll have to get a taxi there (€12-€15 each way), but I would recommend it. Van Gogh Restaurant http://www.eating-out.co.pt/member_details-MemberID-43.html You'll need to book in advance. The hotel will do it for you.
I can't remember the names of restaurants we went to, but we did find a lot of the better ones were off the Marina, up side streets etc. But, there was a restaurant beside Luis Figo's bar, that has/had the nicest garlic bread base with cheese.
In Quateira, 10-15 min walk along the sea-front from Vilamoura, is Fernando's Hideaway. Supposed to be fab for fish & meat dishes. Don't be put off by the outside
Re. Things to do, you can get a local bus to the neighbouring resorts (Albufeira Old Town is 15 mins away). Beware of the 1/2 day organised tour bus to Lagos/Silves & Cape St. Vincent. It's not a 1/2 day, it's a full days trip, made all the worse by being stuck infront of Jack & Vera duckworth :eek: A long, long bus journey! They were lovely places to see, but it was a very long day that we weren't expecting. Felt like we were on a school tour, but without the craic!
You could take the bus to Monchique - a village in the mountains, that's supposed to be very pretty.
There's an aqua park and zoo marine in Guia - which is probably 25 mins away.
A nice bar, is Pacifico, it's behind the marina, set in a courtyard. Aurelio the owner, is a lovely guy. There's a nice restaurant beside it called Concorde too.
The Tivoli hotel is lovely, right on the beach & marina. João, one of the barmen, is a really nice friendly guy. He'll recommend some restaurants for you. Enjoy!0 -
