“Simple, nice restaurant with good food. The daily menu (couvert, soup, variable main course, variable dessert, drink, coffee) costs 11 EUR and tastes very good. Friendly service, honest Portuguese cuisine.If you've had enough of the overpriced tourist restaurants, you should give this a try.“
“What an amazing place for an evening diner. The view over the vineyard and the excellent food and the local wines and beers made this a top experience for us. We did not make a reservation, but they managed to make a table available for us within 15 minutes (but I recommend you make a reservation as I guess you won't be so lucky). We absolutely didn't regret to wait some time. The service is very friendly and excellent. The prices are also very reasonable for the overall experience you get.“

“We got the train from Lagos to Estombar to then travel to complete the Seven Hanging Valley's trail, and we stopped at this very authentic little restaurant on route.We had the sardines and a meat platters, both of which were lovely, paired with a wonderful vinho verde.I then had the chocolate mousse for desert which was so nice it verged on life changing!If you like well-priced, authentic, tucked out of the way places then this is the place for you.“

“Today I had lunch, I with my parents, I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered a dish of the day (Mixed Meat) and it was a huge plate of food with several types of meat, well grilled and full of flavor, accompanied by a good dozen of salad, rice and potatoes. €11 menu dish of the day is very good considering the quality of the food and quantity.
I'll be back here for sure.
I'm very happy.
Only downside is something out of the restaurant's control, but worth mentioning. parking is complicated“

“10/10. I really like to go out and eat, most of the time a lot more expensive than this. I rarely leave reviews, only when I really really feel like it’s deserved. This was absolutely insane; especially for a small place (even casual) like this. I’d pay double the money to eat the same food back home again. A must visit.
Dietary restrictions: My Girlfriend is lactose intolerant and they did something to the sauces to fix it.“

“Quiet, family-friendly place to eat. Extensive menu of dishes, although few desserts; Yes, the one I ordered was very delicious.
I have to comment that in the food, the sea bass was very cooked.
The quality is good and the prices are reasonable.
Clean bathrooms.
The place is a little dated and the staff friendly.“

“If you come to Carvoeiro, don't hesitate. Recommendation from the Danielin guide, make a reservation so that you have a table in the interior rooms, from there enjoy it....the brutal grilled cod and octopus are wonderful.
As starters, an Alentejo cheese and a tomato and onion salad.
Good, pretty and very acceptable price.“

“We went here two times during our stay. The first time we were pleasantly surprised by the innovative and well-thought menu, followed by its high quality. They exceeded my and my hubby's expectations and the daily dish with tuna felt as tender as wagyu beef and just melted on the tongue. The second time we went there for drinks and a light snack, they delivered good quality drinks as expected.“

“In a street in Ferragudo, an incredible dinner on a summer night in August.
An excellent octopus salad for starters, well seasoned as expected.
Fantastic kebab of properly grilled squid and shrimp accompanied by fries and a generous salad. Very good black pork kebab.
The walnut pie for dessert was not appealing.
The service is affable, friendly and very efficient.
Velho Novo has a new customer here who hopes to become old by returning and recommending.“

“Un poulet Piri piri digne de ce nom. Il est excellent, tendre et bien cuit, avec son petit goût fumé et le piri piri maison pour les amateurs de repas pimenté. Un restaurant typique sur le bord de la route et un voyage culinaire dans un cadre magnifique. Un accueil très chaleureux de la part des serveurs. À ne pas manquer si vous passez dans les alentours de Monchique ????“
“This is, in my opinion, the best restaurant in Ferragudo. Humberto, Antonio and Jessica cannot do enough to make your evening special ! I have been eating here now for around seven years and Humberto, the owner, will go out of his way to get More“

“Had a nice meal here. The service was attentive and friendly and the food was good. We had poke bowls, franceshina, hot dogs and they graciously accommodated my daughters request for plain spaghetti with butter :) the smell of cigarette smoke was the only reason for the 4 star on atmosphere but we’re just not used to that where we come from.
Vegetarian options: The poke bowl was fresh and tasty.“

“Good menu, good food, rapid service. Very efficiently run. It was very noisy on Sunday lunchtime when sitting undercover, as it was busy. Difficult for conversation. Would want to sit outside next time. Certainly worth a visit. It's in a nice quiet area in the countryside.“

“Been going to alvor for years and always love authentic restaurants. Unfortunately for us we had never found this one before. You need to book but the food and atmosphere is excellent. The manager and staff are extremely professional but friendly and understanding. We had no hesitation in booking a second visit and would thoroughly recommend it. We loved the seafood.“

“Typical Portuguese... good food, good price, friendliness and friendliness... recommended
Be careful, the dishes are very copious...
By the way, if you can't find a table, think twice before going to the one next door, which is also a pizzeria (see review)...“

Both juicy and on point, accompanied by salad, sardines and steamed vegetables, the sea bass, very delicious too. Very well priced too. With drinks, some olives, and a sardine pate, we paid 29.50 in total for 2 people“

“Yesterday I had a fantastic culinary experience, each particular dish with ingredients selected from all over Portugal, a taste journey illustrated by the boss with class, a culture course on Portugal. Dishes at reasonable prices of 12 Euros, really great. A superb selection of wines. I recommend... worthy of inclusion on the Michelin“

“Good food. Good service. We were unaware of the local cuisine, so we got an excellent recommendation from the waiter, who I guess is also the owner. Delicious food, take the special! Sides come with the mains, not mentioned in the menu, so don't rush with the salads and you can enjoy the deserts.“

“This place is underrated. The quality of the food, along with the price-to-service ratio, is excellent! It’s busy, the food is fresh, and the cooks know what they’re doing.
Be sure to put your name down since they don’t accept reservations; it’s worth the wait. It’s a low-key spot with great food. The chicken and sea bass were particularly delicious, and you can taste the difference from cooking on charcoal.
I always check Google reviews before visiting a place. I saw some concerning comments about a red-haired lady, but after observing her while waiting for our table, I felt compelled to share my experience. This place is very busy, and she works hard to serve customers. She might not be the friendliest, but she’s not rude. In fact, she’s quite sweet if you show respect for her efforts. Thank you for the service and the delicious food. We will definitely be back!“

“Spectacular dinner in an elegant and private location! Fresh fish, delicious. Satisfactory quantity flow rate. Light and well prepared. High level service. The boy who served us, I think his name is Richard, was very kind and left us lots of advice on the beaches to visit! Highly recommended“

“Recommended during our visit to the Sardine Museum in Portimao, very friendly welcome and in our language (French) varied menu and attractive prices with local white wine everything was delicious! The almond tart was a big hit with the children as was the tuna burger. The moderately spicy sardine/mackerel toasts were delicious!! Canned sardines and other fish on sale, we bring some home!! Address to discover and remember! Thanks to the Museum for this recommendation.“

“We got the Brunch for 2 and we loved it. The balance between sweet and savory food is just right. The eggs were done well enough not to make a mess when eating the bread, and the onions were caramelized very well. One element for improvement is that the peanut butter was too thick, and when combined with the pancake, was too difficult to chew.
The staff is really nice and friendly, and good vibe/music.
Highly recommended ✅“

“Lovely seaside restaurant! Came here for sunset dinner & we LOVED it! Recommending the sardines & octopus. Pistachio desert was also fantastic. Very good price/quality/quantity ratio, especially given the amazing location and view. Very proactive and friendly service as well. We were lucky that a reservation didn’t show up as it was apparently fully booked, so best to reserve beforehand. Recommend!“

“Excellent atmosphere at dinner, with live music. The food is very good, the cod is tasty and tender and the apple pie is very well made. But the best thing this restaurant has is the fantastic staff!!!
Well disposed, helpful and very attentive.
Thank you to Maura, Ângelo and Tó for making the night incredible.“
“I have been told about this place by a friend of mine and when I entered it gave me the idea of a small hostaria I used to go when I was a kid. Had a nice Turkish steak and tried some sardines. The fish was super fresh and the meat was exquisite. Loved it“

“A true culinary gem!
As soon as we arrived, we were enchanted by the elegant and warm setting of this restaurant. The atmosphere is both intimate and friendly, making it an ideal place for a dinner as a couple or as a family.
The cuisine, for its part, is a pure delight. Each dish is an explosion of flavors, prepared with fresh, quality ingredients, and presented with care. We had the chance to taste several local specialties, and each bite transported us.
Working in the sector myself, I am particularly demanding, and I can say without hesitation that this restaurant stands out for its excellence. The service is impeccable, the staff is attentive without being intrusive, and the menu offers a varied choice that will delight all palates.
This restaurant marked the start of our stay in the best possible way, and we naturally chose to return to end our trip in style. An unforgettable gastronomic experience that I highly recommend to anyone looking to indulge in authentic and refined cuisine“

“Wonderful beach spot. Beach front with extra fresh fish. All local and cooked to perfection. Our writer Pablo gave us such an amazing service (friendly, quick and professional) always checking on us, but not “bumping into us” ;). You shouldn’t miss the clams. Best I ever tried besides in O Grove, Galicia.
MUSIC!!! Smooth deep house vibes with some surprise from firm to time.
It worth to walk here.
Thanks to all the team!!! We’ll be back soon“

“I just discovered this place and I'm delighted.
It was really delicious with very good quality products which is rare
Nuno is very pleasant and the place is nice
It’s a shame that it’s only open at lunchtime because for an evening aperitif, this address will also be perfect.
The prices are very reasonable, water, two dishes and two desserts for €35!
The photos show a shrimp salad and the burrata salad with the red fruit cheesecake. Everything was perfect ?
My friend was too quick and greedy for the Oreo mousse dessert but it was flawless.
I highly recommend this place
I'm a fan! thank you for everything
See you soon ?“

“The place is good, but they abuse cilantro in Portugal. It is a particular flavor that we don't like. We ordered rice with monkfish for €45 for 2 people. It was an exaggerated amount, 4 people eat with that casserole, it had a lot of monkfish. It was good, but we think the cilantro flavor spoiled the dish a little for our taste. If you like cilantro, then you will surely love it because the quantity is incredible! It was impossible to finish it! The service very good. I recommend it because it has many dishes and everything looks very good, but I want to point out that Portuguese foods have a lot of coriander because Spaniards do not like it very much and I also advise the restaurant that when Spaniards go, they say before ordering what it contains. that species. For the rest, I see it very well.“

Breathtaking tapas,
A large salad with goat cheese toast and incredible honey mustard vinaigrette!
And for dishes, a falafel burger and sea bream, everything is fresh and seasoned perfectly!
We might as well tell you that we had a blast!!
10/10 a treat of fresh produce and exclusively homemade compositions!!
We will come back without hesitation so don’t hesitate!!
See you soon Paulo!

“Very cozy place, the girl who attended us was super nice.
We went to try the francesiña, which is a typical dish from the area and it is highly recommended, there were many more dishes that I would have tried but the portions are quite large and of good value for money. I would definitely return!“

“A small place, but with great quality food.
Very good quality/price ratio. It's like the 100 montaditos: you mark on a sheet what you want and give it to the waiter. But of course, with 100 times more quality than the 100 montaditos.
A must-see place in Portimao.“

“We found this address in le petit futé.
And fortunately we followed the advice because there were few people, but frankly, a menu of the day for €12 is worth it!
Good welcome, typical restaurant with Portuguese decor, simple and traditional dishes, cold beer, inexpensive wine, terrace in a small street
In short: only positive for us“

“Excellent Portuguese family restaurant. All in simplicity. The boss comes to show us his choice of fresh fish. We're going to choose our desserts from the fridge. Like at home ! Too friendly. and everything is excellent. It feels like our grandparents' house, right down to the chocolate mousse, the real one! Lovely welcome. Bright and friendly waitress yet she only speaks Portuguese and we don't have a word! The exchange was so funny! Thanks everyone!
An address to keep. :)“

“A very cool place, food in the national style, a lot of different, very fresh fish, which is prepared right on the spot. Pleasant, very attentive owner, will give advice and tell you everything. The price is pleasantly pleasing, even for guests from Latvia the price is simply affordable. The three of us, two adults and a teenager, ate for 43. euros, the price included 4 (!!) side dishes like a buffet, hot - fish for adults, the teenager ate a very large piece of meat with his side dish, white wine 0.5 in a jug and compliments from owner. The place is wonderful, I recommend it!!“
