Vela Azul

Every town has its canteens. Places where the food is above average, but which are not always on the tourist itineraries. Vela Azul, which has for years been a leader in the art of preparing fish, is one such place. It is tucked away in a residential area, but your satnav will help you find it. And it is worth the effort, especially if you are looking for fresh fish, prepared on the grill by hands that have worked with these ingredients for 30 years. The specialities are its famed filetes de garoupa com arroz de tomate (stone bass fillets with tomato rice), but it also offers grilled fish, cold salads and homemade desserts that will have you crying for more.
