Restaurante Pinguinhas em Lagos

03/11/2024: Had been here before on a lads trip (as recommended by one of the lads) and I wanted to return now with the family, and as the wife loved it too we did two days on the bounce, and both were excellent. The enthusiastic and ever-smiling owner bustles around constantly and the staff are good too. We sat at the round table just inside the door so I couldn’t see into the open plan kitchen, but everything that came out if it was first class on both evenings. Only slight negative was no monkfish on day one but delivery next morning - only it was a bank holiday so no monkfish again BUT that really was not a big issue as there is so much choice on the menu. Fillet steak in particular excellent and reasonably priced, wine great and similarly very reasonable and desserts pretty damn good too. Service good and not rushed so you enjoy a relaxed meal at the speed you wish to eat at. Looking forward to next time already.

04/10/2024: This is a small restaurant serving great food, prepared by an all female kitchen staff. It is very busy and we booked a couple of days in advance. We both had the fish soup which was great and from a well flavoured stock. A great throwback to days gone by is that there are lots of wines available in half bottles Service was great and we were offered a free drink at the end. Overall a great restaurant and well worth a visit
