Black and White Take AwayLagos, The Algarve

★EverydayThe everyday answer

R. Cândido dos Reis 300.1 mi from Lagos centrelast reviewed October 2026

A flat white good enough that Australians and Americans rate it against home, in a stretch of Portugal where a properly made one is rare. The baking is serious too, from croissants and cinnamon buns to a kimchi breakfast sandwich.

The Lagos flat white that travelling Australians quietly approve of.
