Bianca Salden took over O Leão de Porches in 2005 and has dedicated herself and her team to making one of Porches’ best kept secrets into one of the most attractive and appealing places to dine in the Algarve.
This delectable restaurant is situated in an historic and authentic 17th Century farmhouse, which was originally discovered by an English couple in 1970. They saw the potential of this charming building and lovingly converted it into a beautiful restaurant which thrives to this day.
The restaurant is located in the centre of Porches – a pretty village just off the EN125 near Carvoeiro, best known for its wonderful pottery, golf courses and stunning beaches.
The restaurant retains many original features and has a superb patio dining area for warm summer evenings.
O Leão de Porches is well known for its wonderful sauces, fine ingredients and the beautiful presentation of its dishes, which are a pleasure to behold and equally delicious.
You can be sure that once you have experienced O Leão de Porches, you will want to share this secret with your friends.
A great dinner! The atmosphere was very cute and the tasting menu was delicious! Would highly recommend.
Gelungener Abend und leckeres Essen. Die Michelin-Empfehlung ist absolut verdient.
Loved this spot so close to Vilalara and Vila Vita Parc. A real bar with top-shelf liquor and an excellent bartender. Patio was lovely. Good phenomenal. Service friendly and efficient. A few bonus amuse bouche offerings. Note: we sat outside and the upper patio seems nicer than the lower IMO, so you may want to request that, but that’s my opinion. The inside seems very dark, and they do not seat people there in the summer—just adding that in case it’s the off season—eating inside would definitely change the vibe for us.
We will have a special menu on Valentine's Day.
