O Cais Café in Silves is a pretty café and eco-shop with a fabulous riverside location in one of the most charming and historical towns in the Algarve. Overlooking the ancient roman bridge, O Cais serves fresh and tasty tapas, healthy dishes, organic wines and craft beers, and hosts regular live music evenings. It’s a great spot for day-to-night food and drinks, and a super venue for private celebrations.
