50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Altura

“Spectacular views over Praia Verde. It's the best thing on the site. For the rest... the food: good, without further ado, generous portions on the plates and the service, everyone very friendly. I was surprised that the water bottle was not opened on the table. In a place like this, I didn't like the detail.
A good detail was that they asked us if we wanted to have the starters that are so typical in Portugal… butter and bread and some prawns that were well cooked and delicious.

Parking: In the middle of August it was difficult for us to park. I imagine that at other times of the year there won't be as much movement.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, it is wheelchair accessible and the toilets are adapted.“

“Excellent quality food, 5-star service, the portions are xxl, easily enough for 2 people and the dishes where it is mentioned for 2 people are enough for 3 or even 4, the only less positive aspect is the noise generated, as it is very frequented, it quickly generates a lot of noise.

Parking: It has 1 place to charge the car (low voltage socket)“

“It was my first time in a restaurant À Terra and I was very positively impressed with the experience. The dishes are very modern respecting the ingredients of the region and the flavor of each element of the dish. The atmosphere of the restaurant is fabulous and the service sublime. Sofia attended to us and guided us through this experience in a unique way. Thanks“

“We went from Manta Rota to eat some seafood, because there isn't any there. Good service and good food, although I have eaten zapateiras that were better, but it was not bad. The octopus was delicious. I have also eaten better Molotov for dessert, which is not that it was bad, but the truth is that I usually eat in various restaurants throughout Portugal.“

“Great restaurant, fresh fish, very good clams, sardines too and homemade desserts. This is the third time we have gone and we love this place. The waiters are very friendly although it is a little slow due to the amount of people there are in the middle of the summer season.
100% recommended.“

“The owner is new since a year or so....excellent service with a smile and nice fresh tasty food....very close to the sea....it has been our third time in a short while that have been there....continue like this and we will for sure be back.“

“We revisited this restaurant, which stands out for its small and tasty chicken. With a large terrace and indoor room, it easily accommodates groups. We were attended to by Lucas who was always very friendly, attentive and available.
A restaurant that is a meal and that is part of the tradition when we visit this area!“

“Absolutely fantastic dinner, best Michelin star we have been to! The Chef menu is divine, you are in for a treat with the very attentive staff and whole scenery is charming. Big plus to the Chef’s specialty the Carabineiro, a must-have! Thanks for the amazing experience!“

“Excellent location as well as the service.
Accompanying our table was Mika (5 stars).
Very tasty light starters - Vegetable tempura and Alheira balls.
Well-paced service and very well prepared food, with distinctive flavors.
We ask:
Exotic prawn curry, (excellent)
Rooster fish fillets (very good)
Breaded octopus (top)
Iberian pork cheeks (very tasty)
Judging by the meal, I would say that we will return to try the other suggestions on the menu.
Finally, we made a reservation and were notified in advance of table availability.
Very professional and attentive management.
I recommend“

“Fantastic little restaurant in a town right at the border, I recommend to swing by for some great food and a friendly staff before continuing on the road.

The owner was very sweet, fluent in French, English, Spanish and Portuguese, passionate about her food and with greay recommendations. The bowls are healthy and the drinks are to die for, don't skip on getting the special drinks, they're very worth it.
Veggie, vegan options, adaptable to any dietary restrictions and preferences, and a fantastic caramel and banana dessert, the name of which I've forgotten but I can only recommend it if these 2 ingredients are something you like.
Kind regards from France and Ireland, I will always swing by if I'm nearby in the future.

Vegetarian options: Many many veggie and vegan options, and very healthy foods and drinks in general, great for detox or to relax.

Dietary restrictions: Dishes come in all sorts, and are adaptable to diertary restrictions.“

“Very nice home
It is not a restaurant but a place of sharing where the owner offers us dishes according to our hunger.
Before paying: we dress in medieval clothing to match the charm of the place.
Very affordable price 4 people €40: dishes to share“

“I'll start by saying that it's the best SANGRIA I've ever had, so you have a reason to go check it out! Relaxed atmosphere with a beautiful view of Manta Rota beach, very well prepared dishes and a welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend it.

“Very nice beach restaurant, which we visited several times during our vacation. We had the opportunity to taste several dishes on the menu, fresh meat and fish (chosen directly in the window), all well prepared and excellently served by competent and professional staff, always attentive and available. Oh.. and the caipirinha?!... Top. ? We highly recommend it and we will definitely be back.“

“I came here for lunch during the week in July.
I was very impressed with the salad and seafood display. We tried the shoe rack and the stupe and it was very good.
The dish of the day with menu is 10 euros. It varies every day of the week. There is also soup.
Staff, especially the owner, extremely friendly. It has a terrace, a small terrace and an interior room. It's best to book because it's very busy. There is Wi-Fi.“

“Great service and atmosphere: service was fast, staff was extremely nice, etc. However, it lacks vegan options. The waiter told me to choose one of the salads and take out any animal product but the problem was that then I’d only be eating tomato, lettuce and cucumber. I ended up eating soup, fries and boiled veggies. It’s nonetheless a good option if the majority of the group is not vegan as everyone else loved it.

Vegetarian options: The menu doesn’t have any vegan options and the only vegetarian plate is risotto. I got the vegetable soup and ordered fries and veggies (boiled carrot, broccoli and potato). The fries, as always, were to die for, but the rest was just okay.“

“Exceptional place to eat rice with seafood. The coquinas were delicious.
Very good for the quantity, quality and price.
The services ?
Highly recommended place.
We will definitely return to try the cod that we saw on the next table and it looked very good.“

“The best steak in town! Try their namesake steak, or the pepper steak, they are the best!! The service is always an experience. They love to treat you like an old friend, and we bring friends here all the time and never had anything less than an awesome time. Lazarus (spelling) has served us a half dozen times and loves having me try, and get better, at my Portuguese. He, along with the other host, are hands down the best hosts ever!!!!

Parking: Right up front.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp up front.“

“Very pleasant beach service.. high quality drinks and food, friendly atmosphere.. super pleasant sunset DJ.

We went there for lunch during the entire week of vacation that we were there... honestly, it's really good...“

“Another surprising restaurant in the Algarve! We didn’t expect much but were pleasantly impressed. Our waiter was extremely pleasant and we had fun joking with him. The raw oysters were the best we’ve had in Portugal accompanied by a nice inexpensive white wine. Our Portuguese style tuna was a welcome change from the regular seared tuna and much appreciated. Finished off with cheesecake and a local delicacy, a carob, fig and almond tart… superb! One of our best lunches in the Algarve!“

“Very good restaurant. Excellent cod from the house. Perfect grilled sea bream. Congratulations to the cook. Very good service. Very pleasant staff, smiling and speaking French. I recommend this establishment, very good value for money.“

“Fresh fish, average prices, efficient employees, the shame is the waiting time, it opens at 11am and 6pm, and there are already people at the door, in short, just go and sleep...
However, it is no longer a rodizio, it comes with a platter for a table for 2 people. With 1 sea bass, 1 sea bream, 1 besugo, 4 sardines, 2 slices of toasted bread, rodizio is now like this.
If you want to do it again, you have to pay for another dose, desserts separately, and not coffee.
However the quality is good.“

“Eddy's is een restaurant aan de weg in Monte Gordo. Maar erg gastvrij ontvangst, advies gekregen voor een prima witte wijn. Het eten was eigenlijk goed maar net geen top omdat de kip Piri Piri, wat droog was en de Piri Piri smaak niet helemaal naar Corendon kwam. De espresso was overigens heerlijk zoals het hoort. Ga er gerust eten vij Eddy, daar krijg je echt geen spijt van Gastvrij, lekker eten. Doen hoor!“

“Divine razor clam feijoada. The girl who served us was super friendly. Fast. Desserts, which is the best? Of the 3, perhaps the coconut and honey pie, which they recommended to us. Excellent price-quality ratio. The only shame was the noise made by a large group of girls, but the restaurant is obviously not to blame. I will always come back here, for work or pleasure.“

“Very good genre and good service, the desire for the seafood platter was good but it gave the sensation of being frozen. The rest of the things are fine.
The clams, made like the rest of the Algarve.
We ate 4 well with a seafood platter for two and some clams.
With few views of the sea since it has a parking lot and the port, but there is little traffic so it is comfortable.“

“Just discovered this lovely restaurant and had a family dinner here last night. Great varied menu with something for all, we had steak, burger, fish and pasta, all of which was delicious. Staff were so lovely and welcoming, we will definitely be back!“

“Nice cocktail bar with a small but varied menu. We were there several times and were very satisfied with both the food and the service. Absolute recommendation for the Dom burger, which we found to be the best by far! The service staff change, but with one exception we were very satisfied and always felt very comfortable. The roundabout doesn't bother you and is suppressed quite well by the lounge music and the sound walls. Highly recommended!“

“I arrived at this place by taking a look at Google map, avoiding the tourist area of ​​Tavira. The place is quite nice, away from the beach area. The short menu, as is the norm in Portugal. They have a charcoal grill where meats predominate over fish. The dishes are very well prepared. We ordered a starter and two mains and the waitress told us it was too much. And we listened to him. The Algarve tuna, magnificent. The dishes are very abundant.To put it a but, a little slow in putting out the food. Medium-Low wrecks.“

“We discovered this wonderful restaurant in May and had to go back in October. Both times we had superb food and service. I highly recommend Di Vino’s for anyone going to Portugal. They have a sign stating “Life is too short for bad wine”. They live up to this slogan with their food, as well as their wine.“

“Very welcoming space... Meals within the expected values, except for the dishes of the day which in my opinion are slightly high (but this could also be due to price updates in the Algarve of which I am unaware).The meals were varied and there was nothing to point out in all of them.The outdoor space on a sunny day is quite appealing due to the shade created by the vineyard.I loved the speed of service and promptness of the meals.I recommend

Parking: On lunch days it was quite difficult to find parking as the restaurant was in huge demand.“

“It is a beach bar, but of high quality. It is in Monte Gordo (south Portugal, border with Huelva). And, next to the arena, but it has ample paid parking. Be careful, you have to reserve. You start eating at 12:30 locals. Extensive menu, with everything: starters, fish, rice and meats. Also about wines. I liked everything we ate. And an extraordinary tuna and shrimp pica pau. It is not cheap. But the prices correspond to what they give. A site that I recommend. Enjoy it“

“Excelente Local, muito aprazível com um ambiente muito sereno e intimista.
Atendimento muito atencioso, proucurando a satisfação do cliente.
Comida muito saborosa. Para repetir!

Kid-friendliness: Existir mais menus para crianças.“

“Have visited the Bistrot a couple of times and had a beer... or maybe it was two ???
Nice staff and nice place to relax.

Have visited this bar/restaurant many times now and unfortunately been very disappointed with the service several times now, tonight was probably the last visit.

No major fault with the food or drink, but I think the service is below all criticism..
Tonight we waited 20 minutes after finishing dinner without any of the staff coming to ask if we wanted dessert, coffee or anything else. Finally I went in and paid and then we went to another place for coffee and avec.

The place was not full and the staff mostly stood and hung out without paying attention to the customers, one of the waitresses was mostly interested in her mobile.“

“We came one day to try the razor clam rice, but the owner/expert who makes it was absent and we ended up eating kebabs which were very good. We went back the next day and tried the razor clam rice, it was very good, it was worth returning. It is worth highlighting the availability and friendliness of the employee who served us, Mr. Silva.
Congratulations... it's the food and the people that make the houses and customers come back“

“Restaurant that does not serve coffee ( a very traditional Portuguese habit) to assure a fast table Turn. That is ok. Is always full só reserve first or arrive early. The food and the seafood is fresh and great . The beer fantastic. The place is not near the beach / sea , só is a bit more affordable than the ones on top of the sea. Is a good restaurant“

“Restaurant located on the banks of the Guadiana River and specializing in fish.
All the food was very delicious, you could tell it was grilled. Acceptable quality/price.
We were lucky that we got a table next to the river ??.
When we went they didn't make a reservation by phone, we had to wait. Better to catch the owner in a good mood haha ​​it's a bit strange.
Conclusion: recommended!“

“What to say! At “Os Arcos” I have tried the best seafood rice I have ever tasted (if you order for 3, know that they serve 8, they serve a regiment) accompanied by two very fresh Sagres. And as the icing on the cake, a good Portuguese coffee with views of the Guadiana. Fantastic service and super nice staff. What more could you ask for?“

“We were passing through and decided to stop for lunch. It was the best decision we could have made. Homemade food very well prepared and well served. All the staff were friendly and kind. We loved it and will come back as often as possible.“

“Open all day.
Good quality tapas.

Parking: Paid parking on Avenida da República.
Free parking next to the PSP post in the old customs building.

Wheelchair accessibility: It has an access ramp.“

“Everything was going well, food, service, etc.... until I went into the bathroom, I forgot my sunglasses and the person who came in behind me just took them......ask the service. waiters in case there was any kindness in this "young lady" and had left her at the bar, but nothing! So my experience was soured because of this detail, otherwise everything was fine!!!“

“Privileged location with good appearance.
In August it is difficult due to the movement and too many people.
The service is always at a loss.
Still, we ate at 4pm with fewer people and we were well treated and the food was of good quality with nothing negative to point out.
I'm sure that in June, July, the end of August or September (in short... outside the high season) it can only be better.“

“Excellent welcome, the chef's proposal for "grilled tuna belly" was divine, washed down with excellent wine, an experience worth repeating, congratulations

Wheelchair accessibility: Although access from the car park is a bit long, it was clear that it is accessible“

“Every time we come to Portugal WE REPEAT!
Food of excellent quality, I recommend the typical stews, mussels, clams, fried choco and all grilled food, both meat and fish!
Very good desserts!
Excellent service, very clean and with a cozy family atmosphere.“

“For once, I was tricked in the right way! Tourist area, great view, we know that we take the risk of paying a lot for fast food with cheap service...Not at Hel-Bar!! Great welcome from Helder, great service, real cuisine made by experienced Portuguese cooks who will satisfy your demanding taste buds...secretos de porco, bacalhau a casa, tomato soup, red wine from the south of Lisbon, almond tart.. .except for the fries, everything else is homemade and frankly what a pleasure to eat tender meat, cod that comes apart with the back of the spoon...no photos this time, as we weren't hungry, took trapped until the end. We will come back, don't change anything except the fries ;-)“

“One of the best dining experiences we have ever had. Caminho de Casa is 10/10 experience for food, drinks, atmosphere and staff. The restaurant is so cosy it feels like home and the food was delicious. The owners son looked after us that night and we finished off the night with him showing us the rest of the restaurant and explaining that is Dad has run this restaurant for 8 years! We would go back in a heart beat.“

“We have been going to Bela Vista for over a decade. Every time we come to Portugal, it’s our go-to restaurant. Jorge the owner sources and grills to perfection the best black pork we have ever eaten! We have enjoyed many Michelin starred and top restaurants around the world, but nobody does black pork as well as Jorge. The atmosphere is friendly, and the decor simple and clean. Christina, Jorge’s wife, is always very welcoming and friendly. We go back every time for wonderful black pork.“

“Leuke drukke zaak met veel soorten gegrilde vis. Sardines van de gril redelijk vers, inktvis super vers. Lekkere witte huiswijn. Vlotte, vriendelijke bediening. Schappelijk geprijsd. Als het druk is, is de akoestiek oorverdovend. Maar de zaak is het waard om te bezoeken.De volgende avond keerden we terug en stonden we kort voor 19 uur voor de geopende deuren, maar met een touw ervoor. De zaak ging pas om 19 uur open. Ondanks dat de serveerster oog in oog met ons stond en de ober van gisteren langs ons liep, lieten ze ons buiten staan. Om 19:05 uur zijn we weggegaan. Gemiste kans door arrogantie.“

“Excellent welcome. We sat down for a drink. I ordered a glass of lemon juice. However, it was sweetened lemon juice, I had not requested it when ordering. I called back the waiter who perfectly understood the misunderstanding and changed the glass for me.Customer service is there ?. I recommend.“

“Uffffff! Fantastic restaurant to eat well and cheaply in Portugal.My wife and I have been in this place. We have eaten the typical starters (fresh goat cheese, olives, sardinha pâté, butter and bread).We ordered a plate of Portuguese stew, which is not missed by a greyhound; that my wifeI ordered a sea bass (which must have weighed about 500 grams), wonderfully grilled, with its salad and boiled potatoes.Three tercio beers.For dessert, homemade flan and homemade chocolate mouse, two bicas, one for each.All for €32.There really was food for 4 people.I will not have dinner.I recommend this site too.“

“An unpretentious barbecue but with excellent quality and price. I ate the first sardines of the year there and they didn't disappoint. The tuna belly is also excellent and the garlic clams are also excellent. Everything very fresh and tasty. The only thing that disappointed me was that they served the olive oil in those small plastic packets - what a lack of respect for the olive oil and the excellent meal. Olive oil is an excellent protagonist in traditional Portuguese food.
The service was very friendly, even if they sometimes had difficulty understanding us.“

“Such a lovely place. The location is amazing. The decor and set up of the place is 1st class looking over the river to Spain. The food was top notch and the drinks were even better. I have to give a massive shout out to Gurwinder who made a good day a truly great day. Highly recommended“
