Local Tip One of the great things about Julia's is that you can have the full à la carte menu at the beach bar and the snack menu on the upper dining terrace if that's what you want. Very flexible, so that it's suits your mood and your appetite.

Julia´s has been established as one of the Algarve´s best known restaurant and beach bars for over 40 years. Its success can be attributed to its great cuisine, friendly service and perfect location.

Set at the beach in Vale do Garrão and open every day from 10am, Julia´s is the ideal spot for a meal or a chilled out drink, while you take in the spectacular views out over the Atlantic Ocean.

At Julia's (which is open all year round) you can choose to dine out on the terrace or inside the restaurant, which has a relaxed, holiday feel about it. Even in the winter the panoramic windows mean that beachside dining feeling is there. For some bare-foot R & R head down the steps to the famous Julia's beach bar. The atmosphere is more laid-back here, however the menu here and at the upper restaurant are the same - so no compromise on taste or quality. In fact, you can enjoy the á la carte or the snack menu at both the beach bar and restaruant.

Julia´s serves a combination of International cuisine and excellent seafood dishes. The house speciality of Julia´s King Prawns with African rice has been a firm favorite since it was first served and is highly recommended. The fresh fish is always a winner and if you just can't decide opt for the Fish Platter and enjoy a selection of the best fish. There are vegetarian options available and a great kids menu - complete with pictures to colour and games to play. Children are always happy at Julias - not only do they have the beach at their toes, there is a playground with swings and slides to keep them entertained.

During the summer fun season there is live music every Sunday afternoon and also twice weekly in the evening on Tuesdays and Thursdays from June until September. Sunset and sounds are the perfect end to an Algarve summer day. There are also 2 plasma televisions for those wanting to keep an eye on important sporting fixtures and free Wi-Fi for Julia's clients.

Given it's size and amazing location along with the excellence of the food and service, Julia's is a very good option for a wedding or a private party.
