HUGO BEATY BAR & CAFE: Praia da Luz

The Hugo Beaty Bar & Cafe at Estrela da Luz in the town of Praia da Luz, is the perfect place to sit back and relax whilst enjoying fabulous food and drink in stylish surroundings. Breakfasts are served from 09h00 to 12h00 and include the traditional Full English Breakfast as well as healthier options such as cereals and yoghurts.  From 12h00 there are homemade quiches, salads, pasties and other snacks, in addition to the Daily Special.  The Sandwich Bar offers different types of bread to form the basis of your sandwich, which can then be filled with a selection of tantalising fillings.

In the evening the bar becomes one of Luz's most chic places to chill out with an extensive selection of wines and beers, and the bar stays open until 1am nightly!

Its name is derived from an exceptional Irish soldier, Hugo Beaty who is laid to rest in the “Golden Church” (Igreja de Santo Antonio) in Lagos. He was born in Dublin in 1742 and when Spain invaded Portugal in the 1760s he was one of the army officers who were sent to take up command posts in the Portuguese army. He stayed in Portugal after the war and was involved in the restoration of the Golden Church after the huge earthquake of 1755.

Interestingly his gravestone carries his coat of arms and motto: “Non vi sed arte” or “Not by force but by skill”.
