Overlooking the ancient roman bridge, O Cais serves vegan and vegetarian fresh and tasty dishes, organic wines and craft beers. And you can get vegan Pastel de Nata here!
Silves, the capital of the Algarve during Moorish rule, is a town steeped in history. Its cobbled streets and iconic landmarks, such as Silves Castle, and the Sé de Silves Gothic cathedral, transport visitors to a bygone era. Strolling the town’s streets is a charming step back in time. The River Arade connects the town with the coast and was once a vital artery for trade and travel, with the town’s Roman bridge serving as a key transit point in ancient times.

You can relax on the pavement terrace and watch the ebb and flow of the river as you sip a cold beer or fresh juice, or sample some of the freshly prepared dishes.
