Adega Vilasila (52 Rua Francisco Bivar, Mexilhoeira Grande 00351 282 968 478) is perhaps the area's most interesting restaurant. It has evolved into a restaurant over twenty years, since artist Jose Vila began cooking up traditional food of the Algarve for his friends in his little whitewashed cottage. Opening hours are planned in order that Vila still has time to paint, and the restaurant is adorned with his latest works. You will not find a menu, what you can expect is a home-cooked, deliciously authentic meal. At an agreeably low price of €30 for four courses (including wine), a visit to this restaurant is a unique experience. You can buy a painting if you wish, or a copy of Vila's beautifully illustrated cookery book. Booking is essential, and check opening hours as it changes seasonally.
