When you’re traveling with kids, finding a spot to eat where everyone’s happy can feel like chasing a unicorn. Too fancy, and you’re sweating through the meal hoping your toddler doesn’t throw a fork. Too casual, and the food’s forgettable. That’s why Kestè, a low-key café tucked between Lagos' old town and the beach at Porto de Mós, felt like such a win.

We spent a long time looking for a really tasty Pad Thai and finally found it in the small surfing village of Vale da Telha (Aljezur).

If you're anything like me, you're always on the lookout for places that tick all the boxes-somewhere the kids can run wild, where you can sip your coffee in peace, and ideally, where there's actual shade (seriously, why is that so rare in the Algarve?). Well, I think I've found it.

At Kinoah, all breakfast wishes come true - and with a sensational view.
