35 Best Seafood Restaurants in Albufeira

“Great experience!!

This place is brilliant. Staff care, take pride in their service, the quality of the food is excellent too.

We had the Brazilian steak and the grilled sirloin. Both excellent. The sirloin was cooked to absolute perfection.

Desert was also tasty.“

“Très bon restaurant. Le restaurant offre une qualité de nourriture et des plats plus que raisonnable par rapport aux prix. Cependant, si vous prenez de l'eau en bouteille, ou du vin et des petits extras la note peut très cité augmenter. Personnel agréable et accueillant. Service rapide. Je conseil fortement le poisson qui est très bien préparé!“

“Wenn Sie guten Fisch, Oktopus, Meeresfrüchte, einen guten Eintopf oder Bouillabaisse, eine gute Fischsuppe, einen Zackenbarsch im Ofen, kurzum alles Gute, was das Meer zu bieten hat, wollen: Gehen Sie einfach in die Seafood Boutique! Ich empfehle!?????? ?????????

If you want good fish, octopus seafood, making a good stew or bouilabese, a good fish soup, a grouper in the oven, in short, all the best that the sea has to offer: just go to the Seafood Boutique! I recommend it!?????? ???“

“The food was impressive, we were afraid it was in such a tourist area, but it turned out to be a perfect choice, the sea bass was super fresh and the other dishes from the rest of our friends, equal quality, very abundant portions and very well priced, highly recommended“

“If you’ve ever wanted to get BBQ’d fish and meat in an unfinished field with a few outbuildings and a repurposed food truck, all across the street from a mobile home park, look no further than Restaurante Roulotte do Sr. Antonio!!

The fish comes in big portions, is very fresh and well seasoned and expertly cooked. The pork ribs were delicious and very well seasoned. The kids hot dog came (unexpectedly) with crushed up bits of potato chips (crisps) on top and tasty fries (chips) on the side—all for 5 euros. Put simply, the owner/grill master knows his way around a BBQ.

Depending on your tastes, however, he is a truly abysmal DJ. For the seeming eternity we were there (more on that later), we were largely subjected to YouTube videos of what appeared to be Russia’s knock-off version of the Eurovision Song Contest. It was so bad (borderline torture, honestly, that wouldn’t have been out of place at Guantanamo Bay) that we couldn’t stop laughing. I’m giving the whole atmosphere 5 stars because of how unique it was; like dining in a very tasty episode of the Twilight Zone. But if you don’t want a bit of adventure and exposure to some of the worst songs the internet can possibly serve up, this is NOT the place for you.

That is especially true because you won’t be in and out quickly. The service is as slow as other reviewers suggest (read “glacial”), largely because the staff appears to be just the husband and wife team here; he behind the grill when not drinking quite a bit and cranking up the devil’s music, she in the food truck doing something unclear when not otherwise cleaning glassware and dancing overly attentively and with surprising gusto to the aforementioned video entertainment.

Do I regret going? Absolutely not. Would I ever go back? Not in a million years, except for takeout.“

“The food was lovely, I had the meatballs to start then the Octopus for main, they were Devine. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. As it was a Saturday the entertainment was brilliant, we were singing and dancing. Would recommend to everyone and their gluten free varieties were excellent.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options readily available good choice too.“

“Incredible place, I couldn't' recommend it more! The food, the service, and the atmosphere were all perfect! Kudos to the sushi chef the sashimi was sublime and presented beautifully! 10/10 all the way, don't hesitate to go, world class establishment!“

“Visited O David at lunch time and had a great seat with a view of the cobbled walkway outside and a view of the Charcoal Barbecue Grill which has a clear , transparent viewing screen in front so you can watch whilst your lunch is being cooked.The Chicken Piri Piri was cooked absolutely perfectly and was super tasty.I had mine with Chips and Salad which again was lovely...I ordered a Glass of Red wine which was gorgeous...At lunchtime O David does a lunch deal of €6.90...Amazing value. I would definitely recommend to visit this Typically Portuguese Restaurant.“

“Really delicious pizzas! We went to the restaurant just as their menu had changed, and the staff were interested in asking our opinions about the dishes. The pizzas were heavenly and the pastas were also good. My favorite pizza, which I recommend to all burrata and pistachio lovers, is "Pistacchiella", but I left out the ham, it works either way. The only thing that was "only" 4/5 was the ice creams, which were very good, but the random ice chips in the ice cream were not to my taste. During the day, the restaurant had a Happy Hour, which was also a nice surprise, a small drink 2€ and an Aperol Spritz 4-5€. The terrace of the restaurant has a beautiful view of the sea, especially the sunset we saw on two evenings crowned the dinner. Last night we had 12 people for dinner. they don't have ready tables for such a big group, but they managed to arrange tables for us by moving a common table to the terrace. All in all, I really recommend the restaurant. The only room for development that I can give the restaurant is that attention should be paid to the speed of the service. Fortunately, Mr. Shift Manager (I assume) was there and dealt with the problems.“

“It was great being back at this beautiful restaurant again. We were warmly welcomed by Eduardo and his team. It was a lovely evening so we were able to sit on the terrace with a fantastic view of the sea. The ice cold beer was a welcomed relief from the heat and the food and service was up to its usual high standard. They serve the best Pulpo à Lagareiro which is my dish of choice. Can’t wait to be back next year and bring other members of our family who have not yet had the pleasure of dining hear.“

“Went here to eat twice, the first time we had piri piri chicken and chicken on a skewer. Both tasted heavenly. The second time we had paws on the coast and chicken on a skewer, which was also delicious.

The people who work there are very warm and accommodating.

The restaurant is highly recommended!“

“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“

“We are passing through the region and were looking for an authentic restaurant far from the hustle and bustle of the seaside and we found it here! The food is delicious and homemade, the welcome is very friendly and here you will be surrounded by authentic people. In short, if like us you want to eat well, go for it!“

“Highly recommended! Portuguese cuisine, great ambience, delicious food and absolutely unique hospitality! We felt like we were eating at friends' houses! The location was great at the tiled tables right on the road to the promenade and there was local wine. The fish is absolutely delicious, we tried three different dishes. Kind regards to the great waitresses!

Vegetarian options: Salad, starters, fries

Kid-friendliness: There is a children's menu“

“Great place to taste good quality fish and seafood. It is important to find out about the schedules before going (they are strict and somewhat special) and it may be advisable to book in advance. We were assisted by FABIO, in perfect Spanish, who advised us wonderfully and with exceptional service.

Dietary restrictions: They advised us to order gluten-free dishes“

“Excellent restaurant in the center of Albufeira, not a beach restaurant, but a second line restaurant. It doesn't have much impact due to the exuberant nightlife that exists just down the same street.
Fresh fish and food, staff available and always attentive, quick and attentive in directing orders (advising and suggesting, making changes to the dish, e.g. swapping salad for cooked vegetables), kitchen takes a while to serve (we ordered fresh grilled fish and it took a while over 30minutes), however delicious food.
4 people, without starters and desserts, with water, 2 canned drinks and 1 half bottle of house wine, 2 grilled squid, 1 sea bream and 1 grilled sea bass, it was €20/person,
Well served doses!
With terrace service + outdoor TV.
We went without an appointment at dinner time.
I recommend it for its location and accessibility! Thanks“

“We often pass this restaurant but never gave it a chance until yesterday. Both myself & my husband were really happy with our meals. The frango & dourahda were both seasoned & cooked to perfection. Both meals together were only €17. We will definitely return.

Parking: Plenty of spaces available to park.

Kid-friendliness: Children's menu available.“

“Come here every week when I go to Albufeira... we like the food here. We actually always order the same thing. Steak on stone, ceaser salad, goat cheese with honey. Toilet looks neat, but unfortunately the doors cannot be locked.
The staff is friendly, you have a nice view of the harbor and can enjoy the sunset ?“

“I have been staying in Albufeira for 11 days.
There were a lot of people during the evening walk, so I visited when it opened at 11 o'clock today on a cloudy day because I was worried that it would be a burden to go in alone. Since I didn't have breakfast, I ordered beer and cappuccino.
All the staff were friendly, it was the best cappuccino for me who had been traveling for 2 months, and the draft beer was also fresh. I didn't eat the food, but I would like to praise the excellent location with a great view of Albufeira, the friendly staff, and the well-maintained store environment.
In particular, the milk foam that remained cozy until the coffee was finished was impressive. It was a perfection that I had never seen before in Lisbon and Porto. I'm leaving this because I'm a bit disappointed by the low rating. Other places open after 12 o'clock, but I think it's a good thing that they open at 11 o'clock. The overall price is reasonable~~ I hope many travelers visit and enjoy the beautiful scenery and service!!“

“Great food, the seafood was very good indeed. I ordered tuna steak €14 it was massive I could not finish it. The Paxton peppers were Delilah. The drinks menu includes a non alcoholic beer which is always a winner with me. Friendly service, relaxed atmosphere.“

“My rating would be 4.5.
Restaurant in a magnificent setting.
Specialists in fresh fish, they prepare fish according to the number of you.
Impeccable service.
No more sardines when we got there, too bad.
Be careful price per kg, so the bill is steep ? around €45 per head for aperitif, fish, dessert.“

“A restaurant with a great location. Very good food and very attentive people. The octopus is very good and the prawns are exquisite.

Parking: To access it, you have to go down a dirt road that seems to lead nowhere, but it is worth it.“

“We are guests of EPIC SANA Algarve hotel and had an early dinner here at 5pm with our 2 young babies instead of leaving the property to eat somewhere else because our children fall asleep early. The service was wonderful. It was the best meal we have had in Algarve thus far. We ordered the sea bass, amêijoas (clams), a steak and soup. It was incredible and served on Vista Alegre fine china from Portugal. This hotel has great service, great atmosphere and great food. The server spoke both Portuguese and English very well and was very accommodating with our 2 young kids.

Kid-friendliness: We dined with 2 babies under the age of 2 and they had a great vegetable soup, fresh fish and plenty of other options for them to eat!“

“We called in here on our way to meet friends in Olhos d'Agua, as one of our party was overcome by the early evening heat. Even though we were not proper cilents, the kindness shown to us by staff and management was exceptional - typical of Portuguese hospitality. Unfortunately, we were flying home the following day, otherwise the atmosphere and the menu would have tempted us back, but it is definitely a place we will be visiting again“

“An excellent surprise.

At the end of Rua da Oura, who would have thought that we had one of the best dinners in Albufeira.

Some clams to eat and cry for more and the fish was fresh and well grilled over charcoal.

The staff was simply spectacular from arrival to departure.

Without a doubt a place to remember when returning to Albufeira.“

“Very tasty food and drinks. The service was very fast and very nice. The ambience was not that good because it was very loud and crowded. It was also narrow. The restaurant is located directly on a tourist street that leads further towards the city. You are allowed there Although there are no cars there, people are piling up there. You should sit further back towards the house because there isn't a lot of crowds there. If you sit right on the street, people passing by sometimes touch you.“

“One of the best places where we have eaten in Albufeira, one of the only places that is far from attractive to tourists. We have eaten very well compared to the rest of the places in town, one of the best places in relation to quality and price. I recommend the cod au bras and the stroganoff. To repeat!“

“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.“

“We came here for the view, you will come here for the view. The prices and the food are rather inconsequential. The service is incredibly friendly, not very fast, and very accommodating. The breeze off the beach is good enough that the lack of air conditioning is forgivable. We got to try sardine paste here for very cheap. The food is ok, it won’t blow you away, but it isn’t offensive.

Kid-friendliness: Pretty good kids menu“

“I don't know how this bar can have 4 stars. For me it is a privileged bar because of the location, the food, the frozen beer and of course the staff... it is the 2nd time I have gone and they have treated us like family. Just to say thank you for everything and I'm sure we'll see each other next vacation.“

“Super friendly and fast service
Two ate all-you-can-eat, with a good variety and the possibility of repeating your choice.
All the fish was of good quality.
Both the fish and the side dishes were always being replenished.
We liked a lot.“

“Had an evening meal here. It's not a cheap place but very nice food. It was a bit like Faulty Towers,half the sides we not available so they piled chips and some veg which we didn't really want. It was quite and not much atmosphere.“

“Nestled in a prime location overlooking the ocean, this restaurant offers more than just a meal; it provides a memorable experience. From the moment we arrived, the breathtaking view captivated us, setting the stage for a delightful evening.
The food here is simply delicious.
A standout feature of our visit was the exceptional service provided by Islam. He greeted us warmly and guided us through the menu with his extensive knowledge and genuine enthusiasm. His recommendations were spot on, enhancing our dining experience significantly.“

“Nice terrace with a view of the sea, nice music and 'Last Christmas' by Wham in the background. We ate a ham/cheese sandwich here and had a beer and cocktail. We enjoyed the sun on a lounge chair (and occasionally it fell). there is a small shower of rain).“
