Gaspacho & Migas

Gaspacho & Migas is a restaurant in Lagoa town built around Algarve and Alentejo cooking traditions, adapted to a contemporary table. The current chef, Ivo Braz, trained in cooking and pastry and has worked in kitchens including the Tivoli Lisboa, Hotel Bazar in Rotterdam, Convento do Espinheiro in Évora and, more recently, Al Quimia in the Algarve; his roots are in the north and centre of Portugal, but he developed his deepest knowledge of Alentejo and Algarve cuisine in the south. The restaurant runs two tasting menus, "Entre o Mar e o Montado" and "O Mar em Camadas", alongside its regular menu, and is a member of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs. It has received TripAdvisor's Traveler's Choice award for five consecutive years through 2025, and states it is in the top 10% of restaurants worldwide on that platform. Beyond dinner service, Gaspacho & Migas also caters events, weddings, and vineyard dinners ("Jantares na Vinha"), and sells gift vouchers through its site. Gaspacho & Migas is at Rua Francisco L. M. Veloso, Lote 5 - Loja C, 8400-348 Lagoa (the restaurant notes its entrance is actually on Rua Madre Teresa de Saldanha, between the Lagoa town council and the GNR station). It serves dinner Monday to Saturday from 18:30 to 22:30, closed Sundays, and offers an early-bird discount of 10% for reservations made through its own site for the 18:30 sitting.
