Almancil is a town and freguesia in the Loulé Municipality, in the affluent Golden Triangle region of the Algarve of southern Portugal. Almancil is known for its three Michelin star restaurants, the most of any town in the Algarve.
First referred to as Almansil, Almancil had an Arabic origin; it was likely Almançal, which means "inn" or another variant suggesting a watercourse . The territory that is today Almancil remotes to the Paleolithic, with archaeological excavations unearthing vestages from remote settlements. The more important artifacts come from the Roman occupation from São João da Venda, Ludo and Quinta do Lago, with the latter occupied by Islamic forces.
