Algarve new Restaurants

With the arrival of the summer holidays and the warm and long days inviting for delicious outdoor meals, new restaurants emerge for lunch, dinner or a simple gourmet snack.
During the pandemic, the Algarve saw the emergence of new restaurants, which try to counteract current adversities. From the seafood of the Algarve coast to the flavours of the East, there is so much to taste in the Portuguese's favourite summer destination. If you are in the Algarve or going there, take a look at some of the new spots.
Restaurant Al Sud
Chef Louis Anjos signs the menus of the new fine dining restaurant at Palmares Ocean Living & Golf Resort, in Lagos. Space invites you to enjoy various tasting moments, with the best that the region has to offer, especially the seafood diversity. Tuna with oysters from the Alvor river, oscietra caviar and granny apple, Iberian pork noodles with stew broth, Monchique corns and fine herbs, sea bass with rice from the Sado Valley region, mussels and saffron or Algarvian prawns with fatty bacon, are some of Al Sud's proposals.
Location: Palmares Golf Course, near Lagos golf breaks
Restaurant Pier by the sea
The seafood restaurant and brewery owned by the chef César Lourenço left the Santa Eulália area, where it had been for three years, to settle right in the centre of Albufeira. Seafood continues to have the chef's quality guarantee, who offers the Super Onda de Marisco boards as suggestions. Highlights include the seafood rice, but also the Tuna Prego in caco bread from Cais ao Mar, the loin Picapau and the Pata Negra ham, at the starters.
Location: Rua Almeida Garret, 27, near Albufeira golf breaks
Restaurant Tico Tico Algarve
Seafood and appetizers are the star of this new space on Quarteira's waterfront, with the beach right at your feet. On the terrace facing the sea, entertain yourself with barnacles, crab or cuttlefish roe, octopus salad and fish-egg salad. For full meals, Tico Tico Algarve has xerém clams, Octopus Pataniscas and Bitoque.

Sushi is a must in this new space at Vale do Lobo Resort. Inspired by Bali and Greece, the Well is located in Vale do Lobo square, right next to the pool and overlooking the sea. A sophisticated space, Well Vale do Lobo also has tacos, pokes, baguettes and snacks such as cuttlefish strips, chicken wings with chilli sauce and beef croquettes.

Salgados golf course Bacalhau Strings Tournament

An invitation was extended from Salgados Golf Course to Chez Carlos Golf Society to participate in their *Strings* tournament.
7 of our members accepted and were met with a warm day with an abundance of wind and anyone who has played Salgados knows that means some difficult playing conditions are in your immediate future.
The golf course itself is actually in top notch condition and the greens were quite quick. Putts had to be judged for speed quite precisely or there was a penalty to be paid for any exuberant efforts that missed.
The greens were near perfect for roll and it is appreciated that it was apparent the earlier groups made the effort to repair their pitch marks which isn't always the case around the Algarve. The concept of the Strings game was somewhat lost on a few of our members but the round actually moved along at a reasonable pace. None of our Chez Carlos group placed in the prizes for scoring, but Jim Gillis came away with the long drive prize of one large bacalhau. As has been the case in these Salgados events, the lunch provided afterwards was spectacular.
Several codfish dishes and plenty of other options for those born without the I like fish gene, with an assortment of salad options and a well-done sweets and fruit table for dessert. The cheesecake was amazing and there was plenty of wine which seemed to be much appreciated by all. Simply said, the value for these events hosted by Salgados are unbeatable and everyone has a great time. Its a bit of an earlier start than our usual, but highly recommended to try at least once.

A colony of 550 Flamingos were born in the Algarve

For the first time, in Portugal, a colony of flamingos has nested in the Castro Marim & Vila Real de Santo Antonio Nature Reserve. About 3000 flamingos remained in a salt pan at Cerro do Bufo, where they built about 800 nests with eggs, which, when they hatch, gave rise to about 550 offspring.
The species usually migrates from Portugal in the summer, but the drought and pandemic may help explain the unprecedented nesting in the national territory.
This nesting and its positive result may be confirmed next year and become a recurrent situation, which would represent an important adaptation of the species to different conditions than it has always had in the usual places, thus enabling the diversification of the nesting places and maintenance of the species population in the geographical area of the Mediterranean.
In the Sado and Tejo Estuary Nature Reserve, around fifty nests were built simultaneously in each of them. However, either due to the change in physical conditions that occurred in the places or because there were a very small number of couples, the nesting was not completed. In these last two cases, the nests were abandoned.
The construction of nests has been known since the late 1990s in the main protected areas in wetlands, namely the Tejo and Sado Estuary Nature Reserve and Castro Marim and Vila Real de Santo António Nature Reserve, and, still, in other places. However, the construction of the nests does not constitute, in itself, confirmation of nesting, since juveniles born in those places were never observed.
Diverse people and entities also contributed to the results obtained. ICNF is especially grateful for all "the collaboration provided by the company Compasal and other various entities in terms of its availability to maintain all environmental and safety conditions, thus enabling the successful nesting".
They also thank the photographer Agostinho Gomes for the photographic report with which he followed the entire process and for all the care and sensitivity with which he did it, having made it available to ICNF and the public.
Thanks are also extended to the Nature Watchers of the Algarve's Regional Directorate of Nature and Forests Conservation, in particular those of the Castro Marim Nature Reserve and Vila Real de Santo António, for all their efforts to maintain safety and tranquillity on site, which has allowed the nesting and development process to be maintained, without disturbances that could compromise it.
For Tee Times Golf Agency, this wonderful nature event reinforces the quality and tranquillity of the environmental conditions in our Algarve. In any of the regions, a golf break or family vacation will always be splendid and full of magical and breathtaking moments.
For the observation of these enchanting flamingos or a unique golf break, we suggest the Village Houses (2 or 3 bedrooms) of Castro Marim Golf and Country Club Resort **** located in a paradise of nature. Right next door and equally unmissable the golf courses, Monte Rei North golf course (the best in Portugal), Quinta do Vale golf course, Quinta da Ria & Cima golf courses in the stunning Robinson Club Quinta da Ria Golf Resort****. For a golf break with a stunning sea view, Hotel Eurotel Altura**** will delight any visitor.
