Restaurants in Albufeira

“Très bon Restaurant indien. Les saveurs était à tomber par terre. Nous étions un groupe de 22 et nous nous sommes tous régalé. Ma conjointe et moi avec les enfants avons pris le poulet tikka massala, le poulet au beurre, le poulet jalfrezi et les crevettes korma avec un pain naan à l'ail, il a fallu en recommander pour finir les sauces tellement elle était bonne. Je recommande”

“We were there on August 1, 2 adults and 2 children of 10 and 13 years old, having dinner, really good, we ate 2 huge hamburgers ?, a bowl of 12 chicken fingers for the children and 2 portions of potatoes, plus a drink for about €50, the staff very friendly and helpful. We went after seeing it on the Internet, which had good opinions, and it was really great.”

“Tonight we went to this place, the food there is amazing, service is on point. They check if you like the food, if you don’t want it too spicy or can’t handle spicy they will gladly change it for you. If you don’t know what it is they will explain it to you. They speak very good English and will
Make sure your dinner will be amazing. We entered the building and the moment we were seated the sweet girl asked us if we would like the fan because of the heat. She made sure everything was to our liking. When we were done eating she offered immediately if we would like to have a doggybag. Overall very was amazing and the sweet smile on here face when we gave a tip was amazing and made my day? i also left a review on tiktok if you want to see photos of the food and so. Tiktok name is : xgwn_elainex”

“Really fabulous food, especially the korma, and appetizers! I really appreciate that we got the full experience even with getting there quite late to an empty restaurant on a Tuesday. Will certainly be back next time we’re on the coast!”

“Comida local e sana, sem processados, um trato espetacular, muito simpaticos, muito saboroso tudo, e a sobremesa queria comer todas! Voltaria a repetir, recomendo.”

“The food was authentic, cooked with fresh ingredients and with love! The service was also excellent, the owner and his family are lovely and caring towards customers. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone!”

“Currently on holiday and am quite bored with the all inclusive offerings at our hotel. Both my husband and I are vegan and so used the Happy Cow app to look for somewhere that offers vegan items. The reviews were really good so off we went. Received a warm welcome and the waiter went through the vegan options for us. Food was absolutely delicious and the staff were so nice. Highly recommend dining here. Nice sized portions and great price.”

“A very good restaurant. The waiters very friendly and attentive. Good amounts for a Hindu. I recommend it 100%

Vegetarian options: There is vegetarian food”

“They had a Vegan menu with lots of options, portions are smaller than I am used to in Indian restaurants but that’s not a bad thing. Most importantly the food was very tasty.”

“We ordered samosas and poppadoms for starters which came with three gorgeous homemade sauces and for mains we had three curries and some different naans. The curry was spicy and very flavourful, we especially liked the garlic naan and the presentation of the food was fantastic!
Passionate service and great value for money!”

“The absolute best time! Kirsty was an angel to deal with. She came back to me so quickly with all queries I had. We used another company for another event and they were the worst compared to Portugal rocks! Colt is a little cutie pie and we learned and made the best cocktails! Thanks Portugal rocks ”

“Pros:
- Good quality food
- You get enough food for the price. In the end I couldn't stand it anymore.
- Location of restaurant is good

Negatives:
- Staff is nice but pushy. They wanted us to do a review via Tripadvisor and not via Google. I'll decide that myself.”

“A place that I will definitely return to, the Açaí in this place is very good and makes me travel to Brazil. Açaí complements go very well together. Place to go with family, boyfriend, friends and sit on the quiet covered terrace to enjoy. Nice girls she works with. The price is fair without being exaggerated. I highly recommend this Açaí antioxidant here

Vegetarian options: With several fruits, you can get options for vegetarianism ?

Dietary restrictions: Since there are separate foods, informing the girls who work there. Make mistakes and will take all the special care requested by the customer

Kid-friendliness: I think that having good fruits and sweets, children are the ones who will love them first

Wheelchair accessibility: Since it is a place with a terrace, the wheelchair ends up being able to move around well and be comfortably”

“This is a hidden gem. The ambience is a mix between anime and punk and you have a lot of flyers and infographics about animal rights. The owner is super kind and its obvious everything is created with love. The selection is huge and the portion sizes are big as well, also everything I curated in a very balanced way regarding the nutrional value as well as the combination of flavours. I felt so grateful for that meal, as it all worked so well together and was arranged so nicely. If you are at Albufeira, definetely go there! The price might be a bit higher than elsewhere, but its money well spent as its worth it.”

“We ordered a pizza to go. The pizza was very delicious and they prepared it for us quite quickly. A great place to order pizza and with a good price. We ordered a medium for 2”

“Very nice family restaurant with a great menu. The service was very friendly and helpful. Dishes were perfect, innovative and tasteful. We fully recommend this place, great ambiance.”

“Super tasty food, definitely recommended for a cheap meal on the strip. I bought chicken wings with fries for €7.50, and they look exactly like the photos in the other reviews. Soft drinks are €2.50, which is also a good price, and you can also order delicious salads for €3.00. Even if you are already full enough from a full plate of one of the main courses.

Definitely recommended if you want to eat cheaply, quickly and deliciously, without it feeling like fast food.”

“Incredible ice cream, cocktails are epic and the mini pancakes were delish?? you have to give this place a try!!!

Kid-friendliness: My daughter was asking Alsorts of questions about the ice cream and the owner was happy to explain the process to her.”

“One of the best cafes in Albufeira downtown
Waiters are very kind, helpful and provide a very nice and quick service
Recommended if you visit the city”

“Service was a little slow our first night, but the staff was REALLY busy. The food was so good, my son and I brought my husband back the next night. We had dinner, drinks, and additional appetizers. Very reasonable and food was delicious! The owner is an amazing lady. Recommend the lamb curry, the prawns, and the chicken tikka.”

“I visited on Wednesday 10th July as a place I had saved on my maps while visiting Portugal, and I was happy I did. such a lovely warm welcoming visit and a nice atmosphere to watch the match without all the madness of the strip. I was a solo traveller and felt so comfortable visiting the Yorkshire tavern by my self (felt like my local at home ) they looked after me and so did the other holiday visitors and helped me get a taxi back to my hotel so I did not walk down the mad strip by my self. the local beer was so nice and I enjoyed the company of everyone there while watching the match, like I said felt like home from home. thank you so much for your lovely welcoming and atmosphere, I did truly have a good night. Thank you ?❤️

didn't rate food as only went for drinks”

“Nice spacious bar/lounge with a pool table. Bar lady very good. Atmosphere relaxed. Drinks are strong. Cocktails are 7 euro. Good value for money. Would come here again. Recommend.”

“Restaurant incroyable le meilleur où l'on a mangé des sushis en Algarve. Un cadre exceptionnel en terrasse couverte un accueil chaleureux et souriant et une cuisine d'une grande délicatesse faite avec des produits de qualité. De l'entrée au dessert nous avons été émerveillés. Un grand merci à vous pour nous avoir fait passer une soirée gourmande? je recommande à ?%”

“We didn't eat here but the food did look good great pub if you want good service staff very helpfull highly recommended if like couple of drinks on your own our with friends”

“Very happy with our visit to this restaurant, which offers a very varied choice. Our starters and mains were excellent, with generous portions. The restaurant is impeccably clean and the staff are super welcoming. We had a very pleasant evening. We will come back without hesitation and we recommend it 100%: go for it with your eyes closed! As an added bonus, the restaurant is halal, and it’s the only one in Albufeira that offers so many choices. Do not hesitate !”

“Outstanding, ☆☆☆☆☆ prompt professional attention. The meal was the tastest Indian meal ever. Same chef as last March, impossible to improve, just keep working to maintain the standard set ---- this will ensure 7 Spices remains No1.”

“It is a bar where the predominant customer is adults (>40)
It has the atmosphere of a lively bar without "waves or knots"
Quite good!”

“Had lunch at Eduardos yesterday.
The service from Eduardo is first class.He is a really nice man.
The food.... simply fantastic, Eduardos wife does the cooking and it is first class. The meat was very tender. The home made dessert was out of this world.
The best restaurant I've eaten in on this holiday. Try it. You won't be disappointed.
Thank you, Eduardo.”

“We stopped into this bar on a cold wet afternoon. We had cheese and ham toasties. They had a lot of filling. They don't serve other food. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We ended up having 3 drinks each. Large beers for the husband and 3 glasses of mateus for myself. The final bill was less than 20 euros.”

“The dishes, primarily the fried dumplings (pastel), are unique and absolutely recommended.

Only Portuguese is spoken here. But you can get along hand and foot if you want. Tourists like us were warmly welcomed.

The restaurant with outdoor seating is located in a row of shops next to a public parking lot.”

“A great place where you can have an inexpensive and tasty meal ?.
I recommend paying attention to the dish of the day and soup of the day.
Everything is always fresh.
And most importantly it’s not expensive”

“We visited this restaurant twice during our stay in Albufeira between Christmas and New Year. We had a fabulous lunch on both days although they didn't offer a childrens menu they were able to make a reduced portion for them. The service was excellent and so was the meal!”

“Really really great ❤️ Insanely delicious food. Super nice and attentive service staff! I preferred my rice with garlic. Even made it at my special request and exceeded it. We can only recommend this Indian!”

“I love Greek food - having been to Greece a number of times, one thing I miss is the traditional food from Greek Tavernas.

OS Gregos didn't fulfil my desires, however, the food was good and the staff were really friendly.

Ordered Gyros, and while I was expecting it to come out with a Pitta - it came out as shredded chicken on a plate with Salad and Chips. It was nice, but not what I was expecting.

My son had Bream, and absolutely loved it! He's only 9 and having the head still attached didn't put him off at all, he ate every bite!”

“Nice, centrally located restaurant. Despite being on a busy street, it is extremely quiet in the air-conditioned interior or on the covered terrace. There are lots of seats.

The local dishes are very tasty and well sized. Starters or desserts are still suitable.

The staff is friendly and accommodating, service is quick and prompt. Special requests were implemented quickly and well.

There are no direct parking spaces, but on the surrounding streets.

All in all, absolutely recommended.”

“A very up market restaurant. Beautiful decor & spacious. The service & food were above average. Very reasonable prices. Definitely one to visit for a night out.

Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian selection.”

“Luis and his staff cook authentic Portuguese food, and the best cataplana you can get (order the day before). This is where you go for simple, delicious food. At a price which won't leave you feeling ripped off.”

“The food was absolutely spectacular quality - probably helped by the fact I was on eof the few people in the restaurant so there was huge rush to get loads of dishes out to customers in time / everything was done with care. It was also my birthday so the waiter made a complimentary cocktail at the start of my meal as well which was a welcome surprise. The only deduction was because by the end of 3 courses, I was the only person left in the restaurant so there wasn't really an ambience at all - but I am aware I travelled in low season so maybe it is to be expected.”

“Stopped for a few drinks.Lovely little suntrap.Great service, friendly people, good musi and food looked like decent straight forward meals.Always plenty of people, which is always a good sign.”

“The cataplana was better than anywhere else, food was outstanding, sangria was the best and service was amazing. If you’re looking for traditional Portuguese food, this is the place to go !!”

“Good food with good presentation.
And super friendly employees always with a smile. A young Brazilian man who works there, when he passed by me, always came to say hello ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
People like this are what you want in these places. All the luck in the world to you??”

“We had a fab lunch at the seaside restaurant during the day and discovered that they also had the restaurant upstairs. Delicious fresh fish and a kids menu to suit all. Staff so friendly. Pricey but worth it for a tasty, fresh meal compared to other places around. Highly recommend.”

“It's the Hut. Food was tasty as always, and the service was excellent. You don't really go for the atmosphere.

Vegetarian options: Plenty of choices for vegetarians.”

“My partner and I love Portuguese food and we had one of our best meals from our 1 week trip here. We ordered oysters, seafood rice and desserts. The views are also stunning.”

“Ordered in store and waited for take away. Staff very friendly and helpful. Helped us to get the best deal possible using the promotions on offer. Pizza was well cooked and tasty. Ordered 2 family sized pizzas for 4 adults and it was plenty of food. Without deals, pizza would be quite expensive. However, very reasonable price if deals used. Lots of seating if want to sit in. Very clean seating area. Would recommend to anyone looking for a takeaway pizza.”

“Everything was going well, until my wife went to buy an ice cream that didn't exist in the store for my niece (7 years old), when she came back they were literally kicked out (my wife and my 7 year old niece) from the space and I was left with a friend finishing the cheese cake.
Of course we went to drink coffee next door.
Fortunately there are other restaurants in the area.

Parking: Good”

“Lovely frangos. It is a great place to have a family dinner. The chicken is flavoursome, and the tomato salads and fries are fresh and super tasty. Thank you for a fantastic evening.”

“I'm a regular customer here?. Cozy restaurant where you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner! Some dishes are not fresh, for example the squid rings. Carpaccio, tomato soup and fish soup are tasty, but the soup is served lukewarm, so I always ask if it can be extra hot. Cocktails are very tasty and quite strong?? and the staff is really nice. Dutch people often come here and the owner is also Dutch”

“(Translated by Google) Value for money, staff, location, cleanliness, all 10. To repeat. Magnificent!!(Original)Relación calidad/precio, personal, ubicación, Limpieza, todo de 10. Para repetir. Magnífico!!”

“Every year I go to have lunch here one day but this year something happened because as soon as a fork fell on the floor there was a waiter next to me with some new cutlery congratulations that's how you notice the difference for others”

“A fabulous Indian restaurant! Fans of Bick Lane in London this restaurant is a hundred times better. We ate chicken tikka massala there twice in two days because the dishes were so delicious. The staff is very attentive and attentive. We will definitely come back. The only downside is that there is a lack of alcohol in the cocktails.A superb location just away from the hustle and bustle of the strip but if you like Indian cuisine it's well worth it ?? ?”

“We came across this hidden gem of a restaurant across the motorhome...does not look that great on the outside but oh boy GO IN! and try the food. Sr.Antonio and his wife (Fernanda) were very friendly and service was 10+. The food was delecious and made to perfection. We tried it for lunch and dinner unfortunately found this place the day before leaving had I found it earlier would have gone there for all our meals. We look forward to going there again soon in April 2025.”

“Every time I go to the reservoir, I go here, I love the atmosphere outside and inside, the staff are always attentive, the upstairs is very good, the food is still hot. Recommended!”

“Soft Caffe is fantastic, really friendly, great staff, food is lovely & they make a lovely sangria! Food & drink is super value for money. Always welcoming, great place to hang out with friends or as a couple and if you go on your own there's always someone who will chat if you want that. Brill, love it!”

“I've visited Paulo's Bar numerous times on 4 of the 5 occasions that I have visited Albufeira (the bar was closed for the winter when I was there last November - and I missed it!). Paulo is the friendliest and funniest guy you will meet while in Albufeira - only Pearsie at Jinky's Bar is as funny and friendly as Paulo is. The Bar is a wee gem of a place, great to just sit out with a few beers and watch the world go by and it is one of those bars where you are never on your own for long as it is always only a matter of time before you are in company with others or with Paulo himself. I can't recommend this wee gem of bar highly enough - if you are in the Old Town, pop in and find out for yourself why I recommend it so highly. As for negative reviews posted earlier, well, not everyone is a pleasant and respectful guest and Paulo, to his credit, does not stand for any nonsense, for the benefit, pleasure and comfort of his guests whom he values greatly, which is why so many visitors return year after year and often several times each year. Because he does not allow Stag and Hen parties, Paulo creates an atmosphere in his bar that is suitable and conducive to solo guests, couples and families, unlike many of the bars around the Old Town. When you are in Albufeira, pop in for a few drinks and see why I rate this wee bar, and Paulo, so highly - I'm certain that you won't regret doing so!”

“Four years after our first visit we are still very impressed. My husband's pork cheek was amazing. I loved my fried squid and my 12 year old loved her carbonara. So sad it's our last night. We would eat here every night. Great value and lovely owners. We only hope they are still here for our next visit. We will certainly be back. We love the quality and tranquility of the place. Thank you. X”

“Classic English pub in the Algarve. One of the few open in winter, always prepared with good TVs and drinks to watch football games or in my case, the super bowl.”

“We went 2 years in a row in Albufeira,and we eated at Lara's place almost daily!
Lara is the best host,and makes you feel familiar,and also the food is great and tasty!
They are also pet friendly!”

“Nice wee pub, friendly staff. Can't understand the negative reviews about the service. They were very attentive.

Good place for GAA, a pint and a bit of sun.”

“Absolutely fantastic bar, it's very unique and the decor is amazing as well. The bar staff are so friendly too.

Its a great place to escape the madness of the strip. I would highly recommend visiting this place when in Albuferia”

“We only stopped for coffee. Americano with milk which was a great strong one so will be going back again. Didn't try food but it looked good. Guy who served us spoke perfect English and helped us with directions to supermarket”

“My family entered at midnight “for only 2 pints” we left at 3:30 after friending everyone in the bar. 10/10 we had so much fun and will come back anytime for some good craic”

“Didn't eat here but stopped for drinks a couple of nights and cannot recommend Nelson and his sister more. It's a small bar with a huge welcome. Will definitely come back

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes there is accessibility”

“Wide choice of fresh desserts, croissants and bread....
Not everything is up to par, the pastel de nata are very good, Lecler and chocolate salami are not, fruit tart is acceptable as is the millefeuille....
Definitely improvable”

“Cool under the pine forest, super cheap prices (4 coffees and a juice 6 euros in total), hammocks to lie on and outdoor tables and excellent toilet facilities. All perfect for a break.”

“(Translated by Google) 5 star staff, the space is very welcoming and the food is excellent...(Original)Pessoal 5 estrela, o espaço está muito acolhedor e a comida excelente...”

“When I stay in Albufeira I go to this bar especially when the bartender Dinis is on duty because he is welcoming and an excellent professional. It makes this place a warm, joyful and family atmosphere. Dinis always takes care of all his customers.
Thank you Dinis for your warm and kind welcome. ??”

“Visited Taberna das Sesmarias on the first morning of our holiday. We were greeted by a lovely server (Doris?) and handed what can only be described as an extensive menu. Inspired by Wagamama’s (or vice versa, perhaps), the food arrives when it’s ready and it did not disappoint. I had a Bifana ?? (pictured). We were promised cheap drinks by previous reviews, and found these claims to be true! Beer for brunch? Anything goes on holiday ?”

“Restaurante q nos ha sorprendido gratamente, carne bien echa en su punto, atenciones de servicio de 10. Gracias en especial a Ranila y Uma”

“Beautiful fish and chips. Crispy batter and lovely white fish. Propper chips and mushy peas. Excellent service really friendly staff.”

“Excelente restaurante de cozinha portuguesa”

“Four years after our first visit we are still very impressed. My husband's pork cheek was amazing. I loved my fried squid and my 12 year old loved her carbonara. So sad it's our last night. We would eat here every night. Great value and lovely owners. We only hope they are still here for our next visit. We will certainly be back. We love the quality and tranquility of the place. Thank you. X”

“Arrived in albuferia on Sunday 2nd march staying next to this amazing bakery/cafe great pastries and coffee girls are all lovely and friendly bread rolls are so good been here three times so far lots of visits ahead as we are here for 4 weeks .”

“Food always very good, just good portuguese food,go every year looking forward to going next week when we're back in Albufeira”

“Comida deliciosa, para não falar da rapidez na confecção. Super simpáticos, educados e muito prestáveis. Adorei a experiência, concerteza para repetir.”

“We came across this hidden gem of a restaurant across the motorhome...does not look that great on the outside but oh boy GO IN! and try the food.

We look forward to going there again soon in April 2025.”

“A good Italian restaurant, very nice and friendly waiters. The views are unbeatable and they were fast.

I don't give it 5 stars because I expected a little better for the carbonara pasta I ordered and it was cold after the second bite. I don't know if it was because it took a long time to take it out and it was already cold or because the air conditioning was on full blast.
Still I would return for sure.”

“Lovely frangos. It is a great place to have a family dinner. The chicken is flavoursome, and the tomato salads and fries are fresh and super tasty. Thank you for a fantastic evening.”

“Every time I go to the reservoir, I go here, I love the atmosphere outside and inside, the staff are always attentive, the upstairs is very good, the food is still hot. Recommended!”

“We ordered a cheese and sardine board, which came with potatoes and salad. We also ordered mussels. All very good. The tiramisu was delicious too. Good value for money”

“I'm a regular customer here?. Cozy restaurant where you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner! Some dishes are not fresh, for example the squid rings. Carpaccio, tomato soup and fish soup are tasty, but the soup is served lukewarm, so I always ask if it can be extra hot. Cocktails are very tasty and quite strong?? and the staff is really nice. Dutch people often come here and the owner is also Dutch”

“He had a wait on a Saturday evening, but it passed very quickly with the view.
All the staff are friendly, I had a classic pizza, 4 cheeses, really good and a salmon brushetta, nothing more but I enjoyed it. We were placed upstairs, great view of the sea.
Pleasant and fast service.
Simple but good cocktails.
Thank you Divini!”

“Definitely a spot geared towards tourists so don’t expect too much for the food, however it was still alright. The atmosphere for watching a soccer match was great, drinks came quick. They also cleared your table quickly. Overall, the service was amazing. Everyone was personable and just wanted to make sure everyone was having a good time which we were”

“We really liked this restaurant. While we didn't get into the surrounding restaurants during the most crowded dinner period, we were lucky here and got a table upstairs with an ocean view. The waiters were nice and friendly, the food was very tasty and the sangria was great.”

“We went 2 years in a row in Albufeira,and we eated at Lara's place almost daily!
Lara is the best host,and makes you feel familiar,and also the food is great and tasty!
They are also pet friendly!”

“We had a tasty meal here on a lovely patio at the marina. The service was very attentive and friendly. We would recommend it for an easy and convenient dinner at the Marina. Kids pasta was a hit with our child!”

“This is the best service I have received from any place I have visited. The servers were all excellent and very kind. The food was good and the location is superb too.”

“The food was very delicious (although for my taste it lacked some spice). The tacos have been my discovery this year and they are delicious (they are the ones where the wheat pancake is hard and they only come in 3 but they are very filling); The patron's nachos are brutal. Ah! And the margaritas are delicious (they have lemon and strawberry, and if you can, ask for the pitcher, which they rent).
The only downside: it is always full and you have to wait in line, so you have to go early and be patient.
P.S. They accept credit card”

“My partner and I love Portuguese food and we had one of our best meals from our 1 week trip here. We ordered oysters, seafood rice and desserts. The views are also stunning.”

“I went to restaurant bailot yesterday evening
