Sandbanks Fish & Seafood Restaurant is the perfect place for a lazy lunch or a romantic dinner. Overlooking the majestic Atlantic and the beach at Vale de Lobo, you couldn't ask for a better location to enjoy the best the Algarve has to offer.

Set within the famous Praça at Vale de Lobo, one of the Algarve's most famous hot-spots, Sandbanks offers friendly service, quality food and views that soothe the soul. As the restaurant overlooks the beach, you can take a break from sunbathing and relax to the sounds of the ocean, while enjoying a tasty meal. In the evening you can watch the play of colours across the sky as the sun sets and the moon rises.

Vist the fabulous rooftop terrace at Sandbanks and enjoy signature cocktails with the best views in town! There are front row views of the daily light show at sunset - a little piece of magic to enjoy as the sun slips below the horizon. Open from 15:30pm this is the perfect spot to wind down your beach day or kick start your evening. 

Open all day, from 9:30 am, you can start the day with a tasty and healthy Sandbanks breakfast. IN the evening, the menu at Sandbanks features, obviously, plenty of fish and shellfish. You can opt for simple but delicious grilled fish or the very traditional Cataplana or Seafood Rice. The Fish and Seafood Platter is an excellent option. Vegetarians are not forgotten and meat lovers are also catered for with a choice of chicken and beef dishes.

The open terrace at Sandbanks is the ideal place to enjoy those mellow summer evenings and the live entertainment that is always on offer in the Praça during the summer months. But it's not just in the evenings that Sandbanks is a popular spot. Open for lunch too, this is the perfect spot for lazy lunches during the warmest part of the day. Active kids can still run around on the beach, while the adults sip some wine on the Sandbanks terrace. And every Sunday, from Spring, right through to the end of summer, there is live music at Sunday lunchtime.

Advance booking is recommended here, particularly during high season.
