Restaurant review

Os Fialhos

Os Fialhos is a Luz de Tavira seafood restaurant - shellfish and grilled fish for east Algarve evenings away from the old-town bridge crush.

Our verdict

Book Os Fialhos when you want a Luz de Tavira seafood night. Keep Tavira centre restaurants for cobbled old-town evenings.

Os Fialhos (also listed as Marisqueira Fialho) is a seafood restaurant, not a hotel, in Luz de Tavira, just east of Tavira town. It’s the pin to save for shellfish and grilled fish nights when you’re staying somewhere in the eastern Algarve and don’t want to fight for a bridge-side table in peak August.

Worth knowing: this listing is separate from the old Hotel Residencial os Fialhos town stay, which we’ve removed from the site. Os Fialhos here is strictly a place to eat. Call ahead or check hours before you drive over, especially outside high season.

Who it suits

Families and couples on Tavira, Cabanas or Luz de Tavira weeks who want a proper seafood dinner. East-coast villa groups who don’t mind a short drive for good fish.

Skip it if you need a walk-from-old-town dinner without a car. Stay in Tavira centre for that instead.

Worth it?

Yes, for an east-Algarve seafood night away from the old-town crowds. Book ahead in August, then read best restaurants in Tavira and where to stay in Tavira to plan the rest of the week.
