Trendy Comporta Café sits right on the main beach and is an idyllic little spot for everything from cocktails to an elevated beach lunch. Kitchen creativity looms here more so than many (veggie tagliatelle, grilled sea bass with cockles risotto, grilled duck breast with caramelised apples), and whiling away an afternoon on the patio is tough to beat.
