To eat well, go your own way. Frozen pizza and burger no better.

This restaurant is an absolute marvel! Despite the negative reviews we had seen, our experience was simply perfect. We arrived very late, almost closing time, and they welcomed us as if we were celebrities.

They served us 13 dishes in record time, each one more exquisite than the last. The Piripiri Chicken was an authentic culinary masterpiece, an explosion of flavors that left us amazed. The staff was so incredibly friendly and attentive that we felt like we were in a five-star palace from the first moment.

The attention to detail and speed of service was impressive. This place has exceeded all of our expectations in ways we could never have imagined. We will definitely return again and again!

They welcomed us at 11pm to 13 hungry friends after a great day of failure after failure. Two of them left when they saw the negative reviews that the place presented, the rest, the brave 11 (that's what they have started to call us), ventured into the experience. Fantastic treatment by the staff. Music envied by the rest of the guiris-garitos in the area. I would like to go into a little more detail about the food, although I can tell you that the presentation is excellent:
The piripiri chicken is fantastic, according to my colleagues.
The (normal) chicken, my fitness colleague, absolutely assures that it is the most protein he has ever eaten.
My carbonara soup was excellent, it brought back memories of my university days, frankly.
We must add that the timing regarding the arrival of our accommodation was the best in all of Albufeira.
Thank you very much for everything, I would repeat without a doubt. If you are interested in knowing a little more, the friends who left are no longer so friends.

The worst place to eat on the entire street, we should have read the reviews before sitting down. Not only did it take 50 minutes to serve us the food, but the baguettes we ordered were ridiculously small for what they were worth. They specified that they came with lettuce and tomato but without a trace of it... Plus it was the only thing that didn't come with potatoes or salad. I think that a bun with a piece of meat in sauce that didn't even fill the bread is not worth €5... Likewise, the rest of the dishes were expensive in relation to quality and price. We certainly won't be back.

Very bad service, 1 hour for the food to be served, with only 4 tables in the entire premises. Disastrous. I do not recommend

Eten was niet top, de cocktails waren ook niet super. De bediening kwam ook niet ervaren over. Er zat ook bijna niemand, wat voor ons eigenlijk wel een teken had moeten zijn. Het duurde ook allemaal enorm lang en toen we uitgegeten waren en en nog een drankje na bestelden (we waren de laatsten die er nog zaten), stond de bediening letterlijk op onze tafel neer te kijken tot we klaar waren.

Ik had pizza pepperoni besteld en die was gewoon nog slap en wit, ook leek het alsof de pizza rechtstreeks uit de verpakking kwam

Good atmosphere
Convenient service
Disgusting food: defrosted pizza (maybe it comes from the supermarket next door?), steak from the burger too, very DRY bread (I added mayo ketchup) besides I didn't have the salad... which is worthy of primary school canteens in France (= empty, tasteless), disgusting omelette. Frozen fries but perhaps the best on the plate ?
Perfect if you have no taste or smell! I'm waiting to be sick tomorrow, I've taken my precautions.
The white wine is good and so are the sangria ?

Garbage since we arrived, they gave us a table for 7 people, there were two waiters (1 man and 1 woman) we ordered the drink from the woman and it took them 20 minutes to put 6 beers and a glass of sangria, the waiter brought me a black beer from a bottle and the others from draft, "Senseless", (Apart from chewing gum like a camel), my friends tried the beer and it stank of feet and vinegar "Superbock", the solution was to bring another round "another 20 minutes waiting", when I drank the bottled beer I asked the waiter for another beer and he brought me a non-alcoholic Sagres (one container has absolutely nothing to do with another), I told the waiter that I didn't want that one because it was non-alcoholic , to which he takes it and arrives after 20 minutes with the same beer, I ask him, annoyed, if he is laughing at me, (waiting 20 minutes between beer and beer), he tells me that there is no more black beer left and brings me After 20 minutes a shooter, (ALL THIS WITH THE RESTAURANT EMPTY), After 40 minutes they brought us the food, €16.50 for the hamburger that I ordered Old barrel, which has similar characteristics to the ones they sell for €5 in McDonald's...

Finally it's time to ask for the bill, about €200, about €28 per person, 1 hamburger and 2 beers, and almost 2 hours of waiting, to make matters worse the waiter who was chewing gum and laughing at me, wants a tip and He multiplies the bill so that we give him around €30 as a tip... Obviously we refused to leave a tip and he left angry, the treatment and the delay were disgusting, I prefer a kebab for €5 before they give me dinner there.

See you never.

We waited an hour for food. Not only that but a member of our party did not receive his food only until another hour when we were going to leave. Completely outrageous. When we asked about the food, the waiter started mimicking us and mumbling to us. The waiters are completely lost and have no idea what is going on with the restaurant. Service was rude and horrible. We waited so long for the food just for it to be OK. Just OK. Would never come here again. I just wanted to warn anyone looking in these comments and save you your own expectations/money. This is not even funny, this is run by a kindergardner.

Please don’t get me started on this restaurant. First of all we came to this restaurant before the Portugal euro game even started and the food came at the 89th minute. 90 whole minutes of waiting for the most overcooked burger in a piece of old cheap bread. The virgin pina colada tasted absolutely disgusting. The waiter was rude since I asked for no bacon and he kept on ignoring me when I asked for his attention. Do not come to this terrible restaurant. It’s not even funny.

I asked to be sat away from the live music on 18/05/24 as i generally find it average at best but the pair (man on guitar and lady vocalist) opened with Pink Floyd and was very well done. Goats cheese with honey to start and sardines as a main. Good food and great service. VERY pleasantly surprised. Wouldn’t have gone in if the fellah hadn’t approached me to encourage me in. Very pleased.

Where to start ! This restaurant is literally the worst I have ever eaten at. The chef is a disaster, the food has no taste, the fries are uncooked and cold, bad meat, pasta cream, disastrous hamburger... Despite the fact that the staff is there for its customers, the manager as for she literally doesn't care. To ban !!!I give 1 star for the football match.
