I’ve always loved Chinese food but for the past few years we’d pretty much given up on it here in the Algarve. Many of the restaurants we’d visited before all served the same, bland food. It all seemed to come up with a very similar tasting sauce. Until, that is, we discovered the Palacio da China in Lagos. We now consider it to be the best Chinese restaurant in the western Algarve.
Not only is the food absolutely delicious, there’s a fabulously extensive menu plus very caring and fun staff members. Michael and I just love eating there. So after years of barely eating Chinese food, we’ve gone to having it at least once a month. It really is worth a visit if you’re ever in the area.
Last week, we tried a couple of different dishes. Michael usually goes for the duck but he fancied a change this time, so we had dumplings and spring rolls to start, followed by vegetables in oyster sauce, prawn rice noodles and Szechuan deep fried shredded chicken. It was also absolutely delicious! Mine was polished off with a couple of glasses of white wine. Michael stuck to water, as usual!
Palacio da China is located just off the roundabout near the bombeiros in Lagos, on the Porto de Mos road.
