Located in the charming fishing village of Ferragudo, just across the river from Portimão, Borda do Cais offers an authentic Portuguese dining experience right on the waterfront of the Arade River. With stunning views over the estuary and Portimão — particularly magical at sunset — the restaurant combines traditional Algarvian charm with a relaxed, elegant atmosphere. Its prime riverside location also makes it especially appealing for those arriving by sea. For guests on board a yacht, Borda do Cais is an excellent stop: the restaurant in Ferragudo provides dinghy access with pick-up and drop-off service, allowing you to come ashore and enjoy your meal without hassle. Whether you anchor nearby or cruise along the river, the experience of arriving by water adds an extra layer of exclusivity to your visit. The menu celebrates the best of local seafood, with fresh daily catches often selected directly from the fish counter in Portimão and grilled over charcoal on the Ferragudo dockside BBQ. Signature dishes such as razor clam rice (Arroz de Lingueirão), grilled seabass, and octopus specialties are complemented by a fine selection of Algarve wines. Combined with attentive service and a laid-back yet refined setting, Borda do Cais is ideal for a memorable lunch or a sunset dinner by the water.
