While the popularity of the Algarve as an all year destination continues to grow with a longer tourist season each year there are still many bars and restaurants which close for part or all of the winter season. If you don’t know the Algarve this can make finding the perfect place for a night out more challenging! But don’t worry as with our handy summary you’ll quickly find somewhere.
Information provided is for January-March 2018 (but anywhere open during these months is most likely also open all summer).
If you’d like to tell us about another bar or restaurant we should include then please use the form at the bottom of the page. Thanks!
Disclaimer. Please note while we try our best we can’t guarantee that the below list is constantly up-to-date as we rely on the information provided to us by the public. So if you’re travelling far it may be best to give them a phone call first. Also please note we don’t list every single bar/restaurant in the Algarve and we’re not ‘recommending’ them as haven’t had time to visit them all (yet!), nonetheless we hope our summary gives you a quick and easy short-list to start from!
