29 Best Cafes in Albufeira

“I've been meaning to try the vegetarian buffet and was glad to finally do it today. Great iniciativa. Super fresh, beautifully cooked, nice ingredients and a good variety.
I'm a fan!

Vegetarian options: Fried rice, couscous, salad with red fruits, watercress and walnuts.
And so much more.
All delicious.“

“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 “

“We actually came here a few times to play tennis and volleyball which was only €7.50/hr. Great value but we stayed for food one of the times. We loved the vibe we got from the place, very chilled. Food was great and ridiculously good value. Service was slow but we can live with that.“

“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.“

“Close to our hotel.Our favourite pastileria closed on Mondays, so we tried this place .Good service. Food arrived quickly. The English breakfast was OK,but not a big portion. Good prices. Very popular.A nice place to sit in the sun, or the shade in the heat of the day.“

“When we arrived the staff was so kind and helpful. He spoke perfect English so easy to understand. We ordered a lot of different and all was happy with the food. This is more a place before a big dinner, because the food portions was not so big. But worth it. Recommended to check out.“

“Een oase van rust. Hier was het voor ons (bijna) elke dag even thuiskomen. Na een dag strand een sopa do dia, kaasje, ham, salgados, menu van de dag, echt alles is met liefde gemaakt. Je proeft het verschil! Suzana verwelkomt je en laat je genieten van al het lekkers! Locatie in een uniek rustig steegje! En de beste sangria, wit of rood ♡♡♡♡♡“

“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 ?“

“(Translated by Google) Be sure to visit this cafe! The signature dish will not leave you indifferent! The best pasties in the Algarve!(Original)Обязательно посетите это кафе! Фирменное блюдо не оставит Вас равнодушными! Лучшие чебуреки в Алгарве!“

“Coming in here for years now! Meals of the day, toasties. Whatever? Always served well and great value too. Cold beers and spirit measures to make your eyes water! The bill when it comes is always way below what you would expect. Full of locals and they know best“

“The absolute best English breakfast in Albufeira! Catia is lovely, the service is great, and the prices are good. You can also get a jumbo white coffee (cappuccino) in a huge mug, and that only costs €2! We wouldn’t go anywhere else for breakfast now.“

“Delicious coffee, friendly staff. Prices are affordable. It is located near the center. Small and cozy and quiet cafe. I haven't had lunch here yet, but I will try their lunches later because they have francesinha on the menu, which needs to be cooked properly.“

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank the seriousness and honesty of the professionals and all the friendliness and availability of the owner (Mr. Paulo).
In the midst of the hustle and bustle of July, they collected my wallet and, after the establishment closed, they were kind enough to reopen it so that I wouldn't have to travel the next day to retrieve it.
I couldn't help but give this reference.
These things are also worth highlighting.“

“Visited this place a number of times last year and have visited it every day of our holiday this year. I have tried several items of the breakfast menu and have never been disappointed. Food is always nice and the staff are friendly. Seeing the delightful Katja is also an added bonus.“

“Crazy atmosphere...
Tourists passing through Albufeira we were captivated by the artist previously mentioned in a review below...
It's been a long, long time since I've seen such an atmosphere in a bar...
Congratulations to the whole team..“

“We went to BJ’s cafe for breakfast, lunch and drinks and honestly it was the best cafe we visited whilst in Portugal. Brenda and the girls who work there are absolutely lovely and made such a fuss of our little boy. The food was beautiful and it’s the only place our son would eat a full meal! The breakfast was beautiful too and the omlette was our boy’s favourite. We couldn’t fault the place one bit and would return in a heartbeat. We’ll miss Brenda and the ladies who work there and hope our paths cross again one day! I hope these reviews are read by Brenda and I’d love her to see how much we appreciated the place!“

“(Translated by Google) Coffee as we like to see them in Portugal. Authenticity and prices are in line with what we expect. Ricard served well dosed and cold beer to perfection.(Original)Café comme on aime les voir au portugal. Authenticité et les prix sont conforme à se que l on attends. Ricard servi bien dosé et bière fraîche à souhait.“

“Me and my wife had the pleasure to dine at Cafe In-certo twice during our holiday in the old town. On both occasions the food and service were impeccable. The whole experience and how we were treated was amazing. This was one of our most favourite places to eat good food, drink some lovely local Paxa wine and totally immerse ourselves. Thank you to the brilliant and attentive team, you made our stay in the old town truly amazing. Thank you Paul & Simona Morgan.“

“A nice bar in the valmangude area. It has a sun terrace for those long hot summer days. Food is available though I only had a beer. At the moment a beer is 2.50 Euros All day. Well worth a visit.

Parking: Parking is limited on the main road.

Wheelchair accessibility: There's a slope to allow wheelchair and pram access.“

“Been our place for a sandwich and a drink in the afternoons all week. This cafe is right next door to our hotel so perfect for us Food is fresh and delicious. It's very reasonably priced, just off the beaten track. Popular with the locals. Very friendly place.“

“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“

“(Translated by Google) Tourist prices, but now the staff are very friendly and welcoming. It's gotten a lot better lately, but more and more expensive.(Original)Preços para turista, mas agora as funcionárias são muito simpáticas e acolhedoras. Melhorou muito ultimamente, mas cada vez mais caro.“

“Simple cafeteria with a beautiful view of the beach and the sea.You order at the counter, pay immediately, take your drinks, food is brought to your table. The service was friendly. I found the prices a bit high for a self-service cafe.There was an unpleasant smell in one part of the interior, near the entrance to the restrooms. There were probably problems in the men's room. Ladies room was fine though.“

“(Translated by Google) Great cafe to have breakfast or even lunch there. Portuguese cuisine. the staff absolutely welcoming and friendly. Of course, you can take advantage of shopping at the Market, with good fresh products. fruits, vegetables, sprouts, butcher shop, grocery store, bakery. this cafe is always very lively and has a great terrace in the sun. I particularly recommend it. WiFi available.(Original)Ótimo café para tomar café da manhã ou até almoçar lá. cozinha portuguesa. a equipe absolutamente acolhedora e amigável. Claro que pode aproveitar para fazer compras no Mercado, com bons produtos frescos. frutas, verduras, brotos, açougue, mercearia, padaria. este café é sempre muito animado e uma grande esplanada ao sol. Eu particularmente recomendo. Wifi disponible.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“
