Flavours. Authentic. Simple. Portuguese.

Local by Góis was born from a story built on passion, family, and a love for our homeland.

We are Tânia and Emídio, a couple united not only in life, but also by the dream of creating a restaurant that reflects who we are. A place where food tells stories, where flavours awaken memories, and where everyone who walks through our doors truly feels at home.

At Local by Góis, we believe Portuguese cuisine does not need to lose its roots in order to evolve. On the contrary: it is in the recipes, ingredients, and flavours we have known all our lives that we find the inspiration to create something of our own.

We cook with respect for tradition, celebrating local produce and the flavours of the Algarve, while bringing a contemporary perspective and a constant desire to surprise.

For us, welcoming people is just as important as cooking. We want to get to know those who visit us, build relationships, and make every meal more than just a meal — make it a memory.

The name Local represents exactly that: our place, our roots, the people who are part of it, and everything that inspires us.

Local by Góis is our home at the table.
A place of flavours, stories, and memories.
Welcome.

Tânia & Emídio
