no difficulty communicating in French,
the menu is clear and offers simple, local choices, with fresh and well-prepared products.
The boss gives us his opinion accompanied by wine depending on the dish chosen.

THANKS.“

“A nice Snack Bar with really tasty food. We had a mixed plate and everything was amazing. The service was good and friendly. The Bar is just around the corner of the castle. Further it was clean and the owner spoke english. It is a small local Snack Bar which could be your starting point in Loule.
We will come back.

Kid-friendliness: Good place for children

Wheelchair accessibility: Ebenerdiges Restaurant“

“A wonderful gem in Vilamoura! From the time we arrived until we left, the service was fantastic. The waiters were attentive, professionally skilled and made good recommendations for food and drink. We started with drinks that tasted heavenly.

The concept is sharing and you have a large and exciting selection of fish, meat and vegetarian dishes. We ate four courses and were full.

The place is cozy decorated and the food arrived quickly. The waiters always poured wine and water, and were very pleasant and service minded.

Definitely recommend Salmora to others visiting Vilamoura!

Vegetarian options: Several dishes with only vegetables, as well as lots of fish and shellfish.“

“We had a very good dinner with very attentive service.
Family restaurant with food
very well made.
My favorite was the highly praised shrimp moqueca.
The desserts were all delicious and beautifully presented.“

“The very typical front of this restaurant made us want it.
We were happy to stop there because it was a real delight.
The restaurant is clean! Homemade cooking!! The dishes are typically Portuguese and are really delicious and hearty.
The waiter is very pleasant and he speaks French and English without problem.

I sincerely recommend it if you want to live the Portuguese experience to the end.“

“Very good cataplana, we ordered the monkfish and seafood one, there were 2 of us, we had plenty left over and it was spectacular, we couldn't resist trying the fig pudding either. Highly recommended for quality, price and the treatment of the waiter and the cook who came to ask. It is not the typical tourist place, a local restaurant with traditional Portuguese food where what mattered was the food, not the decoration.“

“(Translated by Google) Very good I stopped there for jantar (lunch) reasonable priceI was rightVery nice serviceThe kitchen is really goodPleasant place for lunch or dinner since s is open until 10 p.m.I would go back there.Muito bom Obrigado ate Proxima(Original)Très bien je m y suis arrêté pour jantar( dejeuner ) prix raisonnableJ ai eu raisonService très sympaLa cuisine est bonne vraimentEndroit agréable pour déjeuner voir dîné puisque s est ouvert jusqu'à 22hJ y retournerais.Muito bom Obrigado até Proxima“

“While walking through Faro we found this place, off the street with the most touristy restaurants. A very quiet and pleasant place with jazz music in the background. The food is very delicious and at a very good price. Without a doubt highly recommended if you visit Faro. Attached are photos of the tasty cod dish and a dish called picapau.“

“A fabulous, locally owner restaurant. We normally order the turbot, which is out of this world, but last time I ordered the pepper steak and my wife the seafood rice, both of which were sublime. Service and ambiance are always exceptional. It’s our go-to restaurant.“

“Wonderful food, beautiful views, great spot in Faro. We had drinks here one evening and dinner the next. Each visit was great. Luckily we had the same server each night. Tiago was amazing, his great service and sparkling personality made our experience top notch!“

“One of the best value for money meals I've ever had. Pick your fish they grill it and the sides of bread, salad and potatoes are included.

Sea Bream was cooked to perfection. Salad and potatoes were nice, the fries were homemade style. Great atmosphere and service.

We had 7 different whole fish and 5 soft drinks and it was €29. Ridiculous.“

“My fave place this holiday (so far) Best meal that Ppl need to go there and up the ratings! Highly recommend for fresh seafood but they do have other foodstuff. Great views and staff, some are so experienced, and even the customer kids are so well mannered. Open til 12 midnight which is the latest we have come across.
(so far i have been to:
Aroma di Mare xXx closest, so went 3 times at 11.15pm for takeaway, lunchtime and snack b4 dinner!
Casa Velha xXx at roundabout, towards Newtown
Flavours - Oldtown sea views (inbetween Oceano and Louisano)
RMs Restaurante Martins (more outside towards villamoura/balaia)
Tasca Portuguesa at the Marina xXx
6degrees Paragrafo for cocktails at end of marina
Least good was Tsatsumi
Natsu in Loulé, ramen was best, rest wasn't great or fresh ...)“

“Brazilian style pizza!!

Yes, one of the best Brazilian-style pizza options in Portugal.

Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

Quality ingredients and friendly, informal service.“

“(Translated by Google) Traditional, family restaurant with very good fish and fresh wines... Authentic. A lot of sympathy. The best option if you are in the area.(Original)Restaurante tradicional, familiar con pescado y vinitos frescos muy buenos.. Autentico. Mucha simpatia.La mejor opción si estás por la zona.“

“Small family-run restaurant a stone's throw from the center of Faro, the owner welcomed us in an extremely kind and friendly way, the fish Cataplana was an experience to absolutely try, all at a more than excellent price! We will definitely be back!“

“Wanted a small lunch, but ended up with a big meal because the food tasted so good.
We were greeted by a were friendly and proffesional waitress who showed us to our table.
A lot of the dishes seemed good so we decided to order some tapas instead of just one main course each. This was a good choice since every dish, apart from the sweet potatoes, were full of flavour.
The pièce de résistance was the lemon cake for dessert. Simple yet sooo delicious. It didnt hurt that we got an extra large piece.
Very pleased with this restaurant.“

“Seafood restaurant where you can eat luxury, if you are used to eating in Portugal, its strength in general is not the adequacy of the premises and establishments, but when cooking fish and shellfish they are the best, and in this establishment the food is very good, I go two or three times every year, I love it, the service is slow, but that's the way of the Portuguese, you have to go to enjoy and not look for faults or compare, that's when you enjoy the food and the experience.“

“Fabulous restaurant, would give more stars if I could, Walter recommended the black linguine which was delicious, the starter of shrimp cocktail was also amazing. Good portions, very clean and nice atmosphere. Better than the restaurants along the marina, will definitely be back.“

“10/10 experience! The live music paired with the ocean breeze and the friendliest staff made for an amazing experience. We went out of our way to stop here for lunch and it was one of the highlights of our trip!

Kid-friendliness: My daughter was with us and there was a high chair for her to sit at. Many other families had children and some even were playing with some wigs they had on site.“

“Great location. Great view. Great service. Owner accommodated us on our honeymoon with no reservation and gave us a table facing the marine. It was magical. Food was impeccable. Tried 4 different dishes — oysters, foie gras, scallop apps, and steak — all amazing. Highly recommend.“

“Good fish restaurant, it has tables inside and a covered terrace, good equipment, he showed us the fish we were going to have for dinner. We ordered grilled squid, with a side of potatoes and vegetables. A grilled parguete with the same garnish as the squid, just right. If the grilled meals are accompanied with a light sauce, I think they would gain a lot, it is a very personal opinion, but it has happened to me in restaurants in Portugal .To top off a very delicious cake. recommendable“

“I was looking for a place where we could pair traditional Portuguese dishes and we found it! The shrimp starter was brilliant as was our first course. The staff treated us very kindly and carefully. We rate the evening very highly and we certainly recommend it!“

“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.“

“Arrêtez vous dans ce restaurant à Faro pour déguster des spécialités de la mer (mais pas que) cuisiné avec amour et avec des saveurs incontournables. Des produits frais et un accueil très chaleureux où l'on prend le temps de discuter et d'être conseillé par les serveurs. Une belle expérience culinaire loin du tumulte de la foule et des atttapes touristes de Faro“

“Great food, great hosts. Shrimp and prawns,mussels, Tuna, beef. Are all done perfectly. It doesn’t get much better.“

“Magnificent dinner, there are French and Portuguese specialties!
I had the great pleasure of knowing Béatrice who makes this place a magical place, the best restaurant in the Algarve! The wine selection is magnificent!
Don't miss it!“

“Restaurant recommended by Turismo de Faro.
There couldn't be a better choice. Very reasonable price for the quality and quantity of food.
1 year later I returned for another beautiful lunch.
Again excellent food and superb service.
5 stars for the friendliness of all employees.
I highlight Anita whose friendliness and grace enchants us.
Friendly, affable and very well disposed.
I will be back...thank you“

“Dinner with friends, bread and butter cover, then we ordered several dishes to share, octopus salad, fried shrimp, grilled squid, clams, etc. Everything was very well prepared and in generous portions.
When delicious food meets fast, attentive staff with a smile on their face, it's the perfect recipe for coming back. I recommend it all year round.

Parking: Wide and spacious. Rammed earth.“

“(Translated by Google) Super delicious tapas and snacks.5 star service and friendliness from the entire team.I always feel at home.Thanks(Original)Tapas e petiscos super deliciosos.Atendimento e simpatia de toda a equipa 5 estrelas.Sinto-me sempre em casa.Obrigada“

“Small bar near the historic center of the city but away from the hustle and bustle. The treatment of us by the staff was incredible. I highly recommend the francesinha, it is important to order homemade potatoes to accompany and dip in its sauce because it is truly incredible, the best I have ever tasted, and the seafood rice, for one person the portion is quite large. With these two dishes without any starter we ended up quite full, without a doubt a place to repeat and recommend.“

“We had a Sunday carvery lunch at Oscar’s and it was excellent. The food is really fresh and all home cooked. There were three choices of meat and lots of vegetables to choose from, plus gravy and lots of sauces. The desserts are excellent too, we had rhubarb crumble and custard. The service is great especially from Lauri who was so helpful and very friendly. It was a great Sunday lunch dining experience.“

“They gave us a table at 3:30 p.m., without warning that most of the dishes might not be available. In fact, there was hardly any fish, the good thing is that what we ordered was very delicious. The tuna with onions, squid and grilled octopus. The chocolate mousse is delicious.“

“Excellent mixed toast, with first-class service. Run by mother and daughter. Very good. I highly recommend

Vegetarian options: I haven't tried it because I don't like it, but there are several options on the menu.

Parking: East Ave. Faro Beach.“

“We are currently on holiday staying galf way between Villamoura and Albufeira, and decided to taxi over to the marina for tea. Out of the wide variety of restaurants available we took a punt on this one and it certainly delivered. Just a bread starter, but it came with a lovely selection of olives, tuna, pickled carrots...really tasty. I had chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce, which was vert tasty and a very generous portion. My husband had a mixed kebab which was a massive portion...and so tasty. Happily recommend this restaurant to all.“

“I have been in Portugal for 20 days in various places but this is the best restaurant I have frequented.
Simple in its appearance but delicious in the preparation of the menu which was abundant and superlative.
Good wine and appetizers offered at the entrance are truly excellent and not just for presentation.
The bill was very honest and the staff very friendly even though I don't know the Portuguese language at all. Thank you with all my heart!“

“Visited tonight and can only describe it as a fabulous experience. The food and wine were amazing: We had fried prawns in garlic and peri-peri sauce followed by Tagliolini seafood pasta, and my wife had Salted Cod Stew both of which were really tasty, we than shared creme brulee which had a bit of a twist. Some of the reviews say it's a little expensive but worth it for the quality. Staff were very friendly, attentive and only too happy to help with recommendations. Overall would highly recommend.“

“Good restaurant with tables inside and on the terrace, good team, friendly and attentive if you need anything, the owner is very friendly. Wide variety of fish and specialized in rice and cataplanas, we order the seafood rice and they bring you a casserole for 3 or 4 servings, you have to go hungry, good rice and a large amount of varied seafood, prawns, crayfish, beef, crab, mussels, clams. Very rich.
Dessert Don Rodrigo, good. Very good value for money, recommended“

“Nothing to add, everything excellent as always. The spider crab filling remains unparalleled, only as Fernando knows how to prepare it. The cuttlefish eggs are worth eating and crying for more. And the chocolate mousse continues to top the dessert“

“What a wonderful meal we had! We hadn’t been to O Tanque for some time but we’ll certainly be back very soon. The couvert is amazing. They come round with a big tray and you can choose what to have. The baby squid starter is divine. Best in the Algarve in my opinion. We shared a large robalo for main. Cooked beautifully with amazing fresh veg and tiny new potatoes that were delicious. We hadn’t got room for pudding but at the end of our meal. Little sweet treats were presented along with white and ruby port that was left on the table (John had a second glass it was so nice) Reasonable price. Lovely staff. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you“

“If you want the best seafood stew you will ever try, you have to try Snack Bar Davi - don't let the name put you off thinking it's a snack bar - very much not, it's a fabulous street restaurant with food is to die for and how Davi does it for the prices he charges is unbelievable. Let take about the Caldeirada (Portuguese monster fish stew) - lordy me 2 langoustines, 6 king prawns, a drove of claims and 5 huge chucks of monkfish all slowly cooked in a shrimp broth boiled with potatoes. How does he do it for €30 for a couple is beyond me! Wine - forget buying an expensive bottle, his house wine @ €8 a litre is as good as any wine I've tasted and matches the main course perfectly. Caution - You have to book this place, pop past and put your name down, you will not be disappointed (closed Tuesday)“

“In Quarteira this is a place to eat well.The dishes are very well prepared and presented.We opted for a cataplana and Alentejo-style pork.The cataplana was full of flavors and everything was cooked to perfection.The pork was incredibly tender and well seasoned. Without a doubt the best we've eaten to date.“

“I love the space, the drinks are excellent!!
The only point to point out was about my last visit.
We arrived, where all or almost all the tables were reserved and we asked where we could sit!
They put us at a table, with no indication that it would be "just for food"... well, but in the end it was decided, it was just boring!
But I'll be back at the end of the summer.“

“Hermoso lugar, una joya escondida! La sopa del día revive un muerto, es como la de la abuela… Los platos son enormes, bien aderezados, la atención es fantástica, el ambiente es bien hogareño ! Volvería sin lugar a duda!! Los precios son increíbles! Si quieren disfrutar de una buena comida y una experiencia única este es el lugar! 10/10“

“My son and daughter in law chose this venue for their wedding reception. 84 guests. Spectacular food, staff and the management went above and beyond. Unfortunately we were 1/12 hours late arriving. Everything was perfect, not one complaint from anyone. The food was perfect and delivered to each guest with efficiency and in a timely manner. Congratulations and well done to the management who made a special day Spectacular in an amazing venue“

“Beautiful seafood lunch away from the marina - husband had crab I had fried prawns with a glass of house rose - service was so good, lovely Mara very informative, friendly and made the experience so much fun Thank you El Cristo and big thanks to Mara who is a real asset to your business“

“Whenever we come to the Algarve, O Cesteiro is a must-see and has never failed. From year to year the quality and friendliness remains the same! We always feel like we are at home! When we arrive at the restaurant, we are always invited to choose what we want to eat in the fish and seafood display. The recommended quantities are always perfect and the quality of the fish and seafood is top notch. We'll be back soon!“

“Today we discovered this restaurant during our visit to Faro. You could look at the fish selection in the refrigerated counter. We chose grilled sardines served with boiled potatoes and mixed salad and boiled skate with boiled potatoes and garlic in olive oil. The skate was cooked to perfection and tasted great, as did the sardines.
The service was attentive and friendly.
Overall worth recommending!“

“Delicious food, very generous portions, really friendly staff. Good value for money and a little more off the beaten track, but still next to the Beach and a lovely view of the Waterway. Try the Razor Clam Bean Stew, all the fish is freshly caught! Perfect ?“

“(Translated by Google) great. A small tavern with extraordinary quality. Everything is fresh and the service is very friendly. We loved it. We will definitely be back. We have eaten some clams, sardines, four beers, dessert and coffee for €34.(Original)Buenísimo. Una pequeña taberna con una calidad extraordinaria. Todo es fresco y el servicio muy amable.
