Bahia Beach Bar — Restaurant in Lagos

Went here with my wife to have a drink after a walk down to the beach during a very hot day to cool off. Approached the place through what appeared to be an entrance that may usually be cordoned off by a rope (which wasn’t up) and as we went to sit down a very rude, patronising, abrupt and bad tempered woman (Vera is it from other people’s reviews?) shouted at us “WE’RE CLOSED! THERE’S A BOARD! THERE’S A BOARD!”. On this board it said the place opens at 12.30 and it was 12.25! Wasn’t our fault the rope was down and appeared to look inviting. Well certainly more so than this woman. So all over 5 minutes of her “spare” time we get spoken to in such a disgusting manner? Appeared to have a mouth full of food as well as she rudely approached us, if that’s the case make sure you finish your lunch in good time before you open your place of business in 5 minutes! I don’t care how good the food is at this place or how good other people’s experiences have been I am not going to be spoken to like that and hand over my money to someone who needs some serious basic customer service training. It doesn’t cost a thing to have kind manners and this is no way to run a business. Needless to say, I took my business elsewhere to the Linda Beach Bar, 2 minutes away, where staff were so much more polite and got the basics right.

DON’T GO HERE IF YOU DON’T LIKE BEING SPOKEN TO LIKE A BIT OF DIRT!! ABSOLUTELY...

I went to this beach bar 4 days in a row, we loved it. We came for small plates, lunches and dinners! The service was impeccable, special thanks for such good service to Rafaela, Vester, and David; a good meal is not just good food, it's also a great experience :) we also can't forget Bruno the bartender, who makes a great Aperol Spritz (his other mixed drinks are just as good). The bar is on a beautiful part of Praia Maia and a great place to enjoy small bites, lunch, or dinner with drinks or wine. I had fish there everyday, always check on what the catch of the day is, but the seared Ahi dish is one of the best fish dishes I have ever had, hat's off to the chef. Make sure you get the gaspacho. Do not miss out on this fabulous beach bar in beautiful Lagos Portugal!

I found the prices to be affordable, but I am American and found all of the food in Lagos to be very reasonably priced, I believe the Ahi I mentioned above was 18 Euro. there is a ramp to the restaurant, but it does start in the sand and may not be easily accessible by a wheelchair. I don't recall seeing a TV but can't promise that there isn't one.

I wasn't there on a Sunday night, but if I had been, I would have made a reservation weeks in advance for a table; it's very popular on Sunday nights and there...

Booked at the same time as booking flights as we wanted to spend our last day on the beach and this looked like a nice establishment to go for some food and drinks to wind down the evening.

Upon arriving we were told the restaurant was fully booked. Understandable, as it did look very busy! However as we stated we had a reservation, we were told we didn’t (?) and we were told the day before on the phone (??!) that there were no tables available when we had supposedly (we hadn’t) enquired! As we told the friendly (sarcasm intended) hostess we’d booked online, we were met with aggression and told the restaurant had been booked up for a month prior, and she guided us towards their reservations book. Alas, we agreed this could be the case, however we had booked 4 weeks prior! The hostess then prompted us to find our confirmation email, which we did and offered her. At this point she discovered a table which she had free (our booking somehow wasn’t logged - even though we had a confirmation email) but we decided to go elsewhere to spend our hard earned money! Reading through reviews, the owner response is very indicative of the way this establishment...
