In the heart of Tavira, Ti Maria is a true ode to traditional Algarve cuisine, where the flavors of the past are brought back to life. Here, every dish is prepared with soul, honoring recipes passed down through generations.

To start, there’s nothing better than sautéed padrón peppers, served with shavings of cheese from the Azores and finished with our wonderful Flor de Sal from the Tavira salt pans – a combination that blends the mild heat of the peppers with the intensity of the cured cheese and the delicate, mineral touch of local artisanal salt. The peixinhos da horta, crispy and comforting, are another must-try starter, instantly transporting you to your grandmother’s kitchen.

Among the main courses, the polvo à lagareiro – tender and succulent octopus – is one of the house specialties, served with batatas a murro (smashed potatoes) and regional olive oil. Charcoal-grilled meats, such as pork ribs or beef steak, win over guests with their authentic flavor and well-executed simplicity.

The menu is accompanied by a carefully curated wine list, featuring national selections that pair beautifully with the dishes. To finish, there are homemade desserts like sericaia or almond pudding, ending the meal with a sweet touch of tradition.

If you’re looking for a place to eat well, without pretension but full of flavor, Ti Maria is a must-visit spot in Tavira.
