Paulo is front of house with his wife Irina running the excellent kitchen. Standards are very high and the food has always been first class over numerous visits. Allowing for an upmarket decor and feel the prices are not inflated so it is highly recommended. There is a new glass extension open to the elements when warm and closed to... More

This restaraunt would do well in any cosmpolotin city in the US or in Europe. Perfect blend of well cooked local products, service, and wine. Great dining experience.

Always avoided as I thought it was full of golf sorts and atypical northerners - too much cheap gold jewelry, too loud and a sea of chinos and jumpers round shoulders. Whilst there are many present who like to attempt to bat above their average, ordering expensive things that they don't understand the restaurant caries on regardless. Interesting food cooked...

This place is really special and I urge anyone staying (or living if you haven't been there) in the Lagos-Aljezur area to visit it. The restaurant's name means mouthwatering and the food is certainly that. Every detail in the restaurant has been carefully thought out by the owner Paulo Castela who opened Agua na Boca with his wife Irene in... More

We finally got into this restaurant even though we hadn't booked due to the time of year being so quiet....we thought! All the other restaurants in Salema were half full to sadly empty but on arriving at 7pm we were told we could have their last free table. During the winter closure the previous outside area has been enclosed by... More

This is the most fancy restaurant in Salema and we saved it for our last night. I wish we hadn't as it was clearly the best and in barely different in price to any of the other similar restaurants there. The service was very good and the food was excellent. The host/manager was friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend... More

We visit this restaurant a number of times each year and it is consistently excellent. The menu is interesting but not pretentious and the service spot on. Tonight we were there celebrating a family birthday and my daughter was made to feel very special. Cannot recommend highly enough but don't forget to book!

We went as a group of 6 last night. This was our second visit in less than a year. But for the fact we live here and are spoilt for choice of restaurants, we would go more often. We were welcomed with smiles and all kicked off with a Champagne starter to get us in the mood. A good selection... More

Gracious service, fantastic food. This was a dining event, and I enjoyed every bite. The menu is elegant and varied, with an impressive wine selection.

Have been visiting Salema for many years, and Agua na Boca is easily the best place to eat in the village. Since it opened, have enjoyed many meals there (the octopus starter is delicious as others have said) throughout the year, with family and with friends. It has a relaxed and intimate atmosphere, and top class service. Booking is essential... More
