In our new series, blogger Peter Cruiming gives Tomorrow magazine a restaurant of the month to tantalise your taste buds and help you find new eateries in the western Algarve.
Ca La Mora Italian Restaurant is located in the charming old village of Barão de São João, just 10 minutes above Luz and 15 minutes from Lagos. While the restaurant’s exterior may not exude charm, stepping inside reveals a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Hospitality and ambiance
The staff at Ca La Mora are known for their hospitality and warmth. The restaurant’s combination of good food, cosy atmosphere and regular live music makes a visit unforgettable.
Cosy interior with live music
The interior is tastefully decorated, featuring a friendly bar and even a small stage for regular live music performances. For those who prefer some fresh air, there is also a terrace on the first floor.
Culinary delights
The food at Ca La Mora is simply divine. Everything is mouth-wateringly delicious, from the cheese and meat platter to the pasta, pizza, salad and escalopes. Accompany your meal with a delightful wine like the Taboadella Villae 2021 for €29.50.
Regular menu and a vegan menu
With two menus on offer, Ca La Mora caters to everyone’s tastes. In addition to the regular menu, there is a special menu featuring vegan dishes. Both menus boast delicious Italian fare, with pizzas and pasta priced at just €12.
