Please give my compliments to the chef! We’ve been to this restaurant two years ago and the octopus back then and now are the best grilled octopus I’ve ever had! Honestly, this place is a real hidden gem! My newest food obsession from Maria Petisca is Prego - Portuguese traditional sandwich with a tuna steak! Wow! Words cannot express how much we enjoyed having lunch here Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person €15–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

So tasty! We tried the fish balls, game meat sausage puffs, and goat cheese w honey on toast for starters. And then we split the special sandwich of the day. Enjoyed every bite! Paired w some local wine, it was a wonderful dinner. Service was lovely. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €25–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Sausage Puffs

Easily the best meal we’ve had on our entire holiday so far! The sausage puffs were so tasty, we wanted to eat 8 more! The duck was cooked beautifully and was absolutely delicious, the sauce was incredible. They have limited quantities of each meal, and I chatted with a customer at the table over who came back for dinner tonight because they were out of the duck the night before! I’ll be dreaming of these dishes when I return home. Highly recommend a meal (or two) here! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €20–25

Gosh, where should I start from? Service, ambient, food? Everything was outstanding and Maria Petisca was so far The best restaurant we visited in Lagos so far. The food was absolutely beautiful, I have no words to explain how tasty the main dish (salmon) was. To be hones, we are planing to return tonight just to try more options fr their menu. The lady who assisted us during the dinner was incredibly friendly and helpful. We got over excited with the tapas menu and tried to order more dishes, but she kindly warned us that it would be too much. It’s a pity I can’t mention her name here but she was such a sweet hear. Prices were just fine, we had plenty of food, tapas, main and a bottle of wine and the bill was a bit less than €60x I totally recommend the place.

We went to this place because of all the positive recommendations and, well… they are well deserved! On the drinks side: I would highly recommend the red fruit sangria! On the foods side: all the starters looked delicious. I took the octopus for my main dish and it was really good. It was the first time I tried octopus and I was not disappointed. My friend picked the Burger and she loved it as well. We will definitely go back to this great address!

The food here was amazing. Best food we’ve had in Portugal so far. We went back a second night. We had the octopus, duck, burger and Portuguese steak. Octopus and duck were the best we’ve ever had. The Portuguese steak was great, the pepper sauce was amazing. Don’t bother with the burger. It was good but not worth it. This restaurant is a must try! PS the green apple and passion fruit Sangria was excellent. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €20–25 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Tartar

Found off the beaten tourist track and the old town, this restaurant offers a much more local experience. While most of the staff spoke English, the other guests were primarily Portuguese and we were happy to have a more relaxed, laid-back dinner than what one usually gets in the tourist spots. The food was plentiful - huge portions and one can get a full meal just from a couple of "starters" (I recommend the pulled pork "sandwich" with fries). Tasty Sagres beer at the best price I have seen in whole Lagos. Also open until later than most restaurants. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €25–30

Excellent food and drink. Lives up to the pictures. Excellent service with a super nice guy who has great suggestions. Smoothies too. TIP: Good out dining options.

We went to Maria Petisca restaurant for two nights straight. The appetizers were great, mostly the codfish cakes, the chorizo and the meatballs with onions. The octopus was the best part, it was delicious! The price was right for what we ate, even a bit cheap actually. Totally recommended!!
