| Albufeira is an International Centre noted for its rich
and diverse cuisine. The great variety of restaurants offer everything
from regional dishes to the more refined specialities of French, Italian
or German cooking. This region is closely tied to the ocean and the
many fish and seafood dishes constitute a strong gastronomic presence.
Sardines, flounder and bass are always fresh and delicious. Lobster
and prawns are a must. "Caldeirada" is a typical stew with
several varieties of fish, potatoes, green peppers and parsley, being
one of the dishes primarily appreciated and prepared by fishermen. |

 |
| "Ameijoas na Cataplana" steamed clams, "Arroz de Marisco"
seafood with rice, "Choquinhos com Tinta" cuttlefish in their
ink and "Salada de Polvo" octopus salad are specialities worth
trying. Fresh tuna was abundant along this coast until the beginning of the 1970s and is commonly prepared in the Algarve in many different ways. Also to be noted is "Xerém" corn meal, broad beans and Algarve-style peas accompanied by a good wine from this region. Desserts include sweets made with almonds, pumpkin and figs. Try too the carob cakes and famous D. Rodrigos(egg and sugar cakes). |
