Arribale

This restaurant was one of our favorite finds in Lagos. Tucked away in a quiet corner with a beautiful view of the beach, it felt both cozy and special. We had the ribeye steak and the catch of the day—absolutely full of flavor. The service was genuinely warm and attentive, making us feel right at home. We finished with a rich, gooey chocolate brownie that came with a surprise glass of port wine on the house—a perfect touch to end the meal. Can’t recommend this place enough for a relaxed, memorable evening. Call ahead to make a reservation to get a table outside.

From the moment we arrived at Arribale, everything exceeded expectations. The food was exceptional — bold flavors and perfectly cooked. The service was attentive without being intrusive, striking the perfect balance. The setting itself is stunning, creating a relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere. Easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Portugal.

We were recommended the grilled sea bass and it was absolutely amazing. Our waiters were so friendly and happy to make sure we were ordering just the right amount. Highly recommend - we were just on a walk trying to find a place and stumbled upon this gem. Would dine here again next time we’re back in Lagos.

Wow wow wow. This was a FANTASTIC meal. Some of the best food I’ve had in all of Portugal. And the staff had great energy, great music, and awesome views. Highly recommend. The steak really surprised me, had incredible flavor. Don’t skip on the fish of the day either! We also got the garlic bread, prawns, and flaming sausage. Yum. Highly recommend and will be back!

We walked by looking for some place to eat, instantly caught the eye and confirmed by other patrons who told us ‘it’s great, we reserved our table for tonight, good luck getting a table!’ But we were lucky and got a table right away. Had garlic prawns cooked to perfection to start, and the mixed grill to follow was almost better. Gorgeous wine and desert to finish. The vibe is perfect if you want something a bit more refined from the main strip but rustic and authentic, made better by the super friendly staff.

Server was kind of rude but the owner was super cool. Food was fantastic and the restaurant itself is pretty unique, super small kind of feels like it was just carved out of the wall. Lamb chop and fish of the day (which I think was Sea bass) were phenomenal.

The fish of the day was incredible, after eating many fish dishes around the world this one was top tier. The service was outstanding, they were personable, friendly, and made the experience that much better. The tomatoes in the salad were fresh and they came out with a chorizo in flames that was very unique. The summer brownie was incredible !!!

Amazing freshly barbecued meat and seafood, cooked on a charcoal grill in the doorway. Short menu but good options. Small rustic ‘hole in the wall’ type place definitely requires a reservation as extremely good food and very popular. It’s just a few indoor tables and a couple of small terrace tables. We were a group of 4 adults and 3 kids they managed to seat with a reservation. Opens at 7pm for dinner. Run by a British guy who has lived in Lagos 25 years - he can explain menu and any dietary questions. No kids menu as such but any menu option can be accommodated at half price - ours had plain chicken breast and rice and were perfectly happy. We had 2x mixed grills between 4 adults and was best bbqed meat I’ve ever had.

Amazing whole fish. Great friendly staff. Cool vibe . A must GO. Nice location and parking garage next door. Cash only.

Absolutely delicious fresh food, extremely reasonable price, happy and friendly staff, make sure u go early because they will run out of fresh fish. Very inexpensive. Highly recommend and will definitely go again

Excellent service, food was incredible! Best fish I've had while in Portugal. We sat outside which had a nice view of the marina but inside is cool as well.

I was looking forward to go tho this place since I arrived in Lagos and I had a great time in there, very delicious food and atmosphere, staff very friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend this place to anyone. P.s the grill for 2 it's magnificent

When you're about to grow gills or antennae from all the seafood you've eaten in Lagos, find Arribale and order the pork. They actually serve it the way it's supposed to be done, and the way you can't get it in the States - a little pink in the middle. Tender, juicy, and super tasty! The flaming salami is always fun, and tasty to boot!

Good restaurant. Few meals on the menu but great food. Nice international staff. Fresh fish and good grilles meat

I was excited to eat here for the 5 star reviews but I was sadly disappointed. The garlic prawns were not deveined. The fish of the day was lacking flavor besides the overly salted taste. My husband ordered the ribeye and left half of it. If you are eating here, I suggest make reservations as many were turned away. The servers are extremely friendly which is why I was generous with the rating.

We came here on vacation based on a recommendation and were so impressed. The proprietor was so nice and accommodating. We really enjoyed the flaming sausage, garlic shrimp and meatballs. I ordered the steak, it was fantastic. My wife had the chicken and she loved it. If you come to town, don't miss this place.

This was a great find in touristy Lagos. Completely out of the path of the tourist traps, this is a British-run restaurant that grills pretty much everything. It's mellow, pretty, and the food is awesome. I had chicken, my wife had sea bass, both grilled perfectly. Hats off to this place. Thoroughly recommend.

We came across Arribale on our last day in Lagos. The hubby was on the hunt for chorizo and found it here. We ordered the meat platter, chorizo, cheese, and a few other plates I can't recall. Everything was absolutely phenomenal. The best place so far in Portugal. The service was great and the restaurant itself was super cute and quaint. I wish we had found it sooner, so that we could eat there everyday, but ending Lagos with this treat was perfect.

My husband and I had dinner here on our first night in town and enjoyed it so much we came back the next night. The entire experience was great. The food was delicious but in addition the hospitality, wonderful smell of the grill, and the overall vibe put this place "over the top" for us. Would highly recommend!

If you only eat in one restaurant in Lagos, it must be here. Beautiful place, great food and amazing people. Would have come every night if we had found it sooner!

Loved the food and ambiance but music was a little loud. Our waiter was incredibly nice and also very accommodating to the amount of people we had. You can tell he seemed happy to be working.

One of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Service was excellent, some of the nicest people to have served me at a restaurant. It felt as if they made a connection with each table. The food was absolutely amazing. The fish was fresh and cooked so well that we went there back to back, two nights in a row. The appetizers were amazing as well. This restaurant would be one of the main reasons why I would return to Lagos Portugal.

Excellent food and hospitality. You must eat here! All of the food was deliciously prepared. Service was exceptionally warm. It's a small, quaint restaurant, so be sure to call ahead and grab a reservation.
