Chá Com Água Salgada, located in the beautiful dunes of Manta Rota beach, offers a unique combination of serene dining experiences with the salty sea air. Located at R. da Praia da Manta Rota, 8900-038 Vila Nova de Cacela, it is only a 15-minute drive from both Tavira and Vila Real. Parking is free. From the restaurant, you can walk over a wooden walkway to the large, flat, and fantastic beach of Praia da Manta Rota.
Upon arrival, you are personally welcomed, something often missing at trendy beach venues. The calm and relaxed atmosphere, combined with good and experienced staff, makes this a top experience. The restaurant is a modern wooden pavilion with a small terrace for coffee and cocktails at the front and a spacious indoor and outdoor terrace with sea views.
For a simple and affordable lunch, the lunch menu offers various options: sandwiches (€12), salads (€12), hamburgers (€13.50).

The full menu offers not only fish and meat but also vegetarian and vegan dishes such as strawberry and watermelon gazpacho (€7), salad (€12), gnocchi with pesto sauce (€16), tagliatelle (€19).
The wine list features many organic and vegan wines. Even the house wine is organic and vegan, a nice addition to the culinary experience.
Chá Com Água Salgada is a beautiful Portuguese beach restaurant right by the sea. With a good variety of dishes, delicious house wines, superb service, and a great ambiance, this restaurant is a must-visit. Despite it being a 45-minute drive, I will definitely come here more often. Try it yourself and enjoy the unique experience!
