Julia’s is one of the best beach bars and restaurants in the Algarve. For over 40 years, they’ve been serving delicious, fresh food by the sea, served with smiles and sunshine. The fun times at the beach bar are legendary and the setting is unbeatable.

Julia’s is located right on Garrão beach, between Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo. Open all day and all year round, Julia’s is a fabulous spot for beachside relaxation and sunset meals.

Julia's Restaurant
The upper-level dining room and terrace offer the most spectacular ocean views – endless glittering blues and golden sands. Both are airy and spacious with plenty of space for everyone. Even in the winter, the panoramic windows mean that beachside feeling is always there.

Julia’s beach bar
Down a few steps, right by the beach. Laid-back, bare-foot R&R is on tap here, all day long, as well as your favourite cold tipples and cocktails. Enjoy tasty food at the tables or bask in the sunshine in the lounge. And there’s even a beach service – they’ll serve you right at your sunbed if that’s your preference.

Julia’s full menu is available no matter where you choose to dine. You get to enjoy the à la carte menu at the Beach Bar as well as on the main terrace and dining room. And there is something for everyone – a great array of meat, fresh fish and seafood, vegetarian dishes as well as a snack menu.
The seafood is fabulous – special mention for Julia’s famous King Prawns with African rice, the grilled oysters and the King Crab. There are Angus steaks, rack of lamb and chicken dishes. Click the attachments tab above to see the full menu.

Live Music at Julia's
Julia’s hosts regular summer live music sessions – Sunday afternoons and weekeday evenings on the terrace, and daily afternoon session at the beach bar – with great sounds keeping the sunny atmosphere lively.
