Restaurante O Barradas

The star choice for foodies is this converted farmhouse 4.5km south of Silves, which utilises sustainably sourced fish and organic meat and vegetables in creations like slow-cooked suckling pig, char-grilled octopus with sweet potato, and fava bean and chorizo stew. The owner is a winemaker, whose wares appear on the wine list alongside vintages from Portugal's finest wineries.
