From April 24 to May 26, all the excuses are good to go to the Algarve. The tradition and richness of the Algarvian gastronomie with typical and genuine flavors are celebrated in the 9th edition of the “Rota do Petisco“, an event that, over four weeks, proposes a route for more than 250 of the best restaurants in the region, including in Lagos, Portimão, Silves, Faro and Tavira. A total of 303 restaurants and cafés from 12 counties, will be ready to welcome you with a tasty tapa, a glace of wine and enthusiasm.
To embark on this trip, participants must purchase a Passport (for sale at information points and participating restaurants), at a cost of € 1.50, which totally reverts for different local social projects. For each 12 stamps added in the Passport (for each 12 restaurants visited), the participants are still qualified for a set of prizes, to be drawn at the end of the event.

Among the participants in the Delight Snack Road are the Pousada de Sagres, Tivoli Hotel (Lagos), Mar d’Estorias (Lagos), Faina Museum (Portimão), Taberna de Portimão, Maria do Mar (Portimão) , the Recanto dos Mouros (Silves), the Come in the Drawer (Tavira), the Salt Water (Tavira), the WAX (Faro) or the Chalavar (Faro). The itinerary includes an “author’s menu” – the Road of the Chefs – with dishes prepared by some of the most respected chefs of the region, especially Megan Melling (Mar d’Estórias), José Moura (Tivoli Lagos) and Nuno Martins (Vista Rio Restaurant – Aguahotels Riverside), in Parchal, near Portimão.
The prices are the same as the General Delight Snack Road. There is also an “alternative menu” for the younger ones, precisely the Road of the Little Ones, where they promise suggestions adapted to the taste of the young.
After or before a round of golf on one of the 40 golf courses around the Algarve, you can enjoy this beautiful initiative, and combine Golf and gastronomie.
