About Us

Don Sebastião is a long-standing and highly regarded Lagos institution, celebrated for its authentic traditional Portuguese cuisine, particularly its exquisite charcoal-grilled fish and fresh seafood. Since opening in May 1979, it has garnered a loyal following, attracting both locals and tourists with its delicious food and warm, friendly service.

The restaurant's interior exudes a rustic charm with traditional brick archways and Portuguese Gothic décor, creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere. For those who prefer to dine al fresco, there's a lovely outdoor terrace on the cobbled front patio. Don Sebastião is known for its lively ambience, making it ideal for family meals, romantic dinners, or group gatherings.

A highlight of Don Sebastião's menu is its emphasis on locally sourced ingredients, with daily catches of fish, shrimp, crabs, and oysters arriving directly from local fishing boats. The restaurant even features two large aquariums showcasing a variety of colourful live crustaceans. While fresh seafood and grilled fish are specialities, the menu also offers traditional Portuguese meat dishes such as succulent pork chops with figs and hearty lamb stew with red wine. Must-try dishes frequently praised by guests include the tender filet steak with Bearnaise sauce, fabulous mussels, king prawns, and the traditional Seafood Cataplana.

Wine connoisseurs will be delighted by Don Sebastião's impressive underground wine cellar, which houses an extensive collection of over 240 varieties of Portuguese wines, including vintage Port and Madeira wines, and historic bottles from the owner's private collection. Special tours of the cellar and wine tastings can even be arranged with prior notice. After dinner, guests can enjoy traditional Portuguese desserts like "Don Rodrigo," "Morgado da Serra," and almond cakes, often accompanied by coffee and port with a basket of figs and almonds.

Don Sebastião stands out for its commitment to quality ingredients, generous portions, and attentive service, ensuring a memorable and authentic Portuguese dining experience in the heart of Lagos.
