Restaurant Review: Calixtos Beach Bar & Restaurant

Calixtos' location is simply perfect.

It is right on the beach and offers breathtaking views of the sparkling ocean and golden sand.

You will be personally welcomed by flamboyant owner Tomas Rodirgues. The bohemian style of the restaurant suits the location perfectly and adds to its overall charm.

Whether you choose to sit inside the cozy restaurant or opt for one of the beachfront tables, you are guaranteed a memorable dining experience with the sound of pounding waves and a wonderfully refreshing sea breeze, which was very welcome today with temperatures above 30 degrees....

One of Calixtos' standout features is its varied menu that caters to different culinary preferences. Besides their European dishes, they also offer a selection of delicious Asian options.

The Pad Thai, with its perfectly cooked noodles, flavourful sauce and generous portions of vegetables and protein, is a delicious choice for those craving a touch of Thailand.

The Caril Legumes, a rich and aromatic vegetable curry, showcases the restaurant's ability to masterfully blend different flavours and spices from around the world.

The addition of these Asian dishes adds a unique twist to the menu, allowing guests to discover a fusion of flavours and go on a culinary adventure. Whether you are a fan of traditional European cuisine or like to try something new and exotic, Calixtos has something for everyone.

Whether you are in the mood for a casual lunch by the sea or a romantic dinner under the stars, Calixtos is a fantastic choice that will leave you with lasting memories and satisfied taste buds.

Besides the delicious food and service, Calixtos also offers a well-stocked bar with a wide choice of drinks, including a variety of refreshing cocktails. It is the perfect place to relax with a cold drink in hand while enjoying the panoramic view of the beach.

Finally, I cannot forget to mention the reasonable prices at Calixtos. Considering the quality of the food, beautiful location and excellent service, the prices are incredibly reasonable. It's a great value for the experience you get.

Main courses start from 15 euros.

All in all, I highly recommend Calixtos Beach Bar & Restaurant to anyone visiting Armação de Pêra. Whether you are looking for a romantic dinner by the sea or a relaxing lunch with friends, this place will not disappoint. From the beautiful beachfront location to the delicious food and friendly service, it's a true gem in this charming coastal town. Be sure to add it to your itinerary if you're in the area!

Tip: you can park for free in the lot next to the restaurant.
