Nestled at the entrance of the breathtaking Praia do Barranco das Belharucas beach, offers an inviting escape for beachgoers seeking a delightful culinary experience. This charming pavilion boasts the prestigious Blue Flag status, assuring visitors of a safe environment with lifeguards on duty and essential facilities like toilets and showers. The only downside is the slightly challenging access with steep, winding, and unpaved roads leading to the free parking area.

The selection predominantly focuses on fish and meat dishes, starting at a reasonable price of 14.90 euros.

For those with dietary preferences, there are also two vegan options: a tantalising tofu salad for 14.90 euros and a delectable vegan burger priced at 17.90 euros. The food served at Golfinho is straightforward but undeniably enjoyable, and while the prices are fair, it's important to keep in mind that the allure of the beachfront location does contribute to the overall cost.


The service at Golfinho Beach Pavilion deserves accolades, with the staff being friendly and efficient. They attend to your needs promptly, ensuring a pleasant dining experience for all patrons. However, the true highlight of dining at this restaurant lies beyond the menu and service.
