Portuguese Restaurants near Moncarapacho, PT

“Food well prepared and with good portions we were well attended to
The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I was bitten by melgas (inevitable summer bad luck and because I thought the bread was weak) besides the best in the Algarve“

“I stayed nearby and we discovered it by chance, and thank goodness, because the quality of the cakes is excellent, the ice creams have many different flavors, and most importantly, quality, and all of this at good prices.
Whenever you return to the Algarve, whether staying nearby or passing through, we will make a mandatory stop! ???“

“Clube has become our favorite in recent years. A private, cozy Portuguese atmosphere under low-hanging trees. The sea bream is excellent and the entradas are a surprise every time.
A hidden gem with regular live music and although the ladies do not speak English, excellent communication.“

“Our experience leads us to say that the best is the roast chicken and potatoes. We always go there because it has fair, satisfactory prices and Mainly because it is open from 12 pm to 9 pm, qiue is extremely rare here and allows us to enjoy a post-beach meal.
The attendees are typical Portuguese with a beautiful mix of other races, allowing us a pleasant humanistic contact through simplicity and originality.
Serves as an example to others.“

“Very welcoming place. Staff were lovely and to both of us and our 10 month old son. The waiter spoke very good English and chatted to us about his own baby daughter.The food was really good! And it was a good atmosphere. We sat outside and it was quiet. We will definitely be back!

Kid-friendliness: We took our 10 month old and they were so welcoming of him. He was a sleep most of the time but he woke up they were lovely to him. Also when we arrived two older kids, maybe between 6 and 8 were there.“

“Great restaurant. We ate here a few times and also picked up food and then ate in the holiday home. Very tasty and the best value for money of all the restaurants we visited in the Algarve...and that was two pieces every day.
Staff is also very friendly. Definitely visit.“

“You arrive in Moncarapacho, a small village in the Algarve famous for the production of terracotta objects. And in the middle of the week go to this characteristic restaurant for lunch. Beautiful and functional location, generous dishes, excellent carapau (mackerel fillets), gazpacho as good as the sopa de legumes. It is really worth a trip to visit the village and make a stop in O Antonio.“

“We went there for dinner with friends. About 12 people. Great service.
Fast and very good food. The price is actually way too cheap.

Parking: Has a large free parking lot in front of the restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: Our children played with other children in the large entrance and no one was disturbed.“

“We went to this restaurant because it is close to our accommodation. es.inlugar eur is very fond of children, they are patient with foreigners and the food is very tasty. We went there more than once because the overall experience was very good. The dessert selection isn't very diverse, but all the cakes we tried were delicious. The staff was very friendly, we were looked after wonderfully. highly recommended!“

“An essential address.
Subtle and generous dishes.
I had the pork cheek confit with figs, and it's been a long time since I enjoyed it this much.
The atmosphere on the terrace is very relaxing.
The service is impeccable.
Go for it!“

“A small and traditional place with a very special charm. The service was super friendly and affectionate and the best was the food, everything we ordered was spectacular, the beans with choco were a delight and their homemade sardine preserves on toast were simply spectacular.“

“Bit outside the city centre. Lovely place family run place with great value. Grilled meat dishes for only 8 euro’s. Portuguese family’s and old portuguese men reading the newspaper, then you know its good! And the homemade fries are so good!“

“My family and I chose this restaurant for its offering of the true flavors of Portuguese cuisine and we really weren't disappointed until dessert time.
The dessert chosen by my husband and I was a lemon meringue tart...existing lemon, meringue from poorly cooked egg whites that left us with a gastrointestinal problem for 3 days.
We notified the restaurant and were told it was impossible as they had not received any other complaints.
Very disappointed ...
It's a real shame because a lot of their menu is very good.“

“Very good gastronomic experience. We had dinner in the square in front of the restaurant, the people who served us were very nice. We tried the croquettes, the tuna tataki, the chicken burger, the shrimp, and the chocolate mousse with fleur de sel. Everything was very very delicious! A well-designed kitchen, much more than we thought. The cooks put a lot of effort into the dishes and it is clear that they use quality products. We 100% recommend this place to people passing through Olhao!“

“This restaurant is really worth the detour, the ocean opposite the owners, a brother, a sister, both great servers also the kitchen very good attention. Be aware that in this restaurant you have some of the fish that come from the fishponds but they have a display of quality fresh fish caught at sea which is necessarily a little more expensive, but of very good quality, and there this restaurant will not let you make no mistake in the quality of the products I highly recommend this restaurant“

“Well, it was by chance, we came to this restaurant through Google since we were staying in Sao Brass de Alportel, the attention of the waiter Fabiano, a very attentive and very polite person, has given us a high-class service, without frills and elegant, the food at the level of the place with traditional flavors and as its name indicates, I recommend it 100% to everyone, we also had a kitten that we gave her to try and she stayed with us, a very positive experience. THANK YOU FROM THE HEART FOR MAKE PEOPLE FEEL GOOD ON VACATION.“

“This is the first restaurant we visited at the start of our stay here on Olhao and it set a very high bar for the rest of the trip here.Miga aims to feel homey and comfortable, and it succeeded in every way. It felt like a dining room at home and it played familiar music from the 70's and 80's.The food was meant to be shared, without a doubt. The dishes were delicious, warm, and thoughtfully prepared.The saute shrimps were tasty, sizable and well seasoned. The beer battered shrimps were plump and tender. The octopus bruschetta with avocado was unique and refreshing. Salmon ceviche was extremely unusual, served on a bed of butter lettuce and to die for.Before we leave Olhao we will visit this restaurant again for certain!“

“By far the best vieiras we've ever tried. The prawns in garlic and clams were delicious ?. The service was quick, although the food took some time to be served, but the quality of the food was superb ?. We highly recommend this place. We shall be back again next year.“

“We liked the site a lot. Very close treatment, with a lot of attention.
We asked to eat on the outdoor roof and there was no problem with space. The only thing to keep in mind is that to go up, there are 2 flights of narrow stairs. In case you go with mobility restrictions.
We also found the food very good. The goat cheese with honey and almonds, which has such good reviews, is not something out of this world, as it is a large slice of goat cheese, with honey and almond sauce on top. But it is true that it is very rich.
However, we loved the fish (we ordered tuna and sea bass, and I couldn't say which was better). Quite generous portions. When they brought them they looked bland in the garnish, until they brought the garnish separately, very generous too! (Potato, broccoli and boiled carrot). The fish, grilled, was delicious and very fresh. I completely recommend it.
We will definitely return when we are in the place.

“This restaurant is simply excellent. The food was beautifully prepared and the service was first rate. The portions were very generous and the fish dishes were delicious. Antonio made everything g very special for us. We will definitely be returning and could not recommend this restaurant more highly. It was recommended in the most recent edition of the Rough Guide to Portugal as one of the best restaurants in Olhao and we were not disappointed.“

“Often when you chose a seafront restaurant the food doesn’t live up to the location. I ordered the Grilled Sea Bass which was a special - I can honestly say it was one of the best grilled fish I’ve ever eaten. It was absolutely beautiful. The little side salad was also tasty and the fries were really good. Service was excellent too. Will highly recommend this restaurant. Very impressive.“

“(Translated by Google) Open to all clubs, although it is Casa do Benfica. I recommend it, good food and for anyone who likes to hang out or watch a football game.(Original)Aberto a todos os clubes, embora é a Casa do Benfica. Recomendo, boa comida e para quem gosta de conviver ou ver um jogo de futebol.“

“I'm glad I listened to the reviews. What a great success!
Super recommended. Kindness of service, exquisite food. Super good quantity and unbeatable quality price!!
We chose fish soup (very good), rice with octopus, grilled cod and stewed meat, everything was incredible, very delicious, you can tell that it is traditional and homemade food!“

“Very good cuisine. Well cooked and well prepared dishes. Gourmet and well served. With à la carte dishes that are off the beaten track. Competent, pleasant and smiling service.
Our small downside is the vinho verde which we found very flat. We will taste another one next time because we will return.“

“Lovely hidden gem with delicious food! We ordered tapas, and the highlight for us was the anchovies in olive oil - so decadent! The tuna paste served with bread and olives was really tasty too, and service very friendly and helpful ? Would come back again!“

“I love this place!!My favorite place for chicken in FaroIt has a nice atmosphere and you can eat chicken, salad, fries, rice, and a beer (caneca) for less than 15 euros for person.You can eat inside or outside.The owner is very nice and she will always ask if you need something else.Highly recommended!!“

“This place was a surprise for us - we entered it after checking the reviews here on Google and it did not disappoint! The food that we ordered was very very good - we had a codfish toast and a charcuterie board with sweet potato, octopus salad and smoked tuna. You could feel in all of the ingredients, that the quality was nice. We also had a very good sangria made on sparkling wine. The service was also great - very very nice and helpful, yet not trying to overstep in any way. The prices might not be the cheapest, but it is quite a touristic area. Overally, we had a great experience!“

“My friend's parents had a good meal here in March and recommended the restaurant, which is in the second row not far from the promenade.
We had a great evening! The starter was mackerel. For the main course we had grilled tuna and spaghetti with prawns. I especially have to praise the tuna, which I've never had so good! The service was also very friendly and accommodating!
One of the best restaurants we visited in Tavira“

“Overall, Flor do Roxo Restaurant is a hidden gem for those who want to experience authentic and simple cuisine away from the tourist hotspots. The restaurant offers a warm atmosphere, delicious food and is almost exclusively frequented by locals.The menu is small and simple: either fresh fish of the day or meat, both grilled to perfection. There are also baked potatoes (optionally fries) and a refreshing tomato salad.Of particular note are the homemade desserts, which are undoubtedly the crowning glory of every meal at Flor do Roxo! My favorite is the pudding!It is advisable to have at least a basic knowledge of Portuguese, as no foreign language is spoken here. But it is precisely this language barrier that contributes to the authenticity of the experience and allows guests to immerse themselves in the local culture.We had a great evening and the Senhor clearly enjoyed having us as guests and being able to teach Portuguese.Excellent price/performance ratio! We paid around EUR 17.00 per person including wine and brandy with the coffee!“

“Amazing tapas, all thoughtfully created, each with a fitting twist, like the eggplants with yogurt dip, courgette with goat cheese cream, pork filet with fig sauce or the tataki-style tuna. Didn't have a chance to try the full dishes as we had to order nearly everything from the tapas side of the menu. Definitely need to come back for some dishes, too.“

“Moto clube faro. Algarve Portugal is one of most amazing places you could visit. The members are so friendly and helpful. They welcome everyone to visit the clube view there vast trophy room have a beer or two and enjoy their selection of food. When you leave you can buy some gifts from the shop in the clube. No matter if ride a motorbike or not you will enjoy your visit to the clube.“

“What to say .....
A very nice experience on a street corner which, at first glance, does not suggest such a surprise.
The manager did everything to put us at ease and make ourselves understood (which is not always easy when you don't speak Portuguese)
Hearty dishes and a 100% Portuguese atmosphere.
A restaurant that is essential to discover if you are looking for authenticity!!!!!
As for the price, it beats all competition
Go there with your eyes closed, you will not be disappointed.“

“We was only one customer at the time. Special for us they fire up fire place. Amazing staff amazing place. I been in michelin star restaurant in italy, they was not the best compare with this.

“We know that in Portugal they are masters at preparing cod but for those of us who don't like fish the offer is greatly reduced but at the Pitanga restaurant they have a good offer of both fish and meat and the meats are delicious. I recommend the Vazia which sounds bad but it is sirloin and it is ?“

“A nice surprise near the small village of Estoi. You will be welcomed by the friendliness and sweetness of Mrs. Ilena and by the tasty dishes prepared by her husband. In a place where simplicity reigns you will find fresh and genuine food at a super honest price.“

“Great food great value“

“Had lunch at this lovely little restaurant tucked away just behind the main street. We had the anchovies which were the best we've ever had, and the Octopus rice which was fantastic. So reasonably priced. It's number 1 on TripAdvisor for a reason.“

“Excellent value for money for the quality of the meat. Heartwarming welcome.
98€ for 5 people (4 meats and a shrimp casserole with cream + parsley butter as well as crab pâté + drinks)
Enjoy your food

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, outdoor slide“

“Brits on our first holiday to Portugal, we’re so happy we found this place. We came back every day as the food and drink was out of this world. And the hospitality was magic, we were invited to the karaoke and brought the family which got addicting! And lovely cocktails to enjoy. The owners speak fluent English and recommended things to do making lots of memories. Thoroughly enjoyed and can’t wait to come back!“

“Cozy and quiet restaurant in one of the alleys in Olhão. The decor is minimalist with small details that don't make us forget that we are close to the sea. We opted for a clam starter and a typical dish from the area, "Raia Alhada" and what an excellent choice. Thank you very much.“

“We went for a meal here, early evening. I had rump steak and my husband had chicken. It came with chips, rice. Salad and beans..it was delicious..the staff were very friendly. Great value for money. We'll definitely go again and we recommend to everyone. Well worth a visit“

“Very good food!!
I highly recommend the black pork tenderloin, the meat is very well cooked and seasoned.
Very good dessert, the Isabel Cup. The carob pie had good flavor but was poorly served in terms of quantity.
It could have come with a larger serving of fries, but nothing serious.
In short: In terms of 5-star quality, in terms of quantity for the amount you pay, it is a 3.“

“The brunch I tried today was, without a doubt, the best I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying. Every detail, from the impeccable presentation of the dishes to the harmony of flavors, reflected special care in preparation. The variety of options, which ranged from well-executed classics to innovative creations, surprised me with every bite. Congratulations to everyone involved for providing a gastronomic experience that exceeded all expectations!“

“Portuguese restaurant with high standards and an eye for detail! Tastefully decorated and even the toilet here is great! Service is very good and the food is absolutely great! It's just a shame that there are cars in front of the terrace, which makes it a bit less pleasant. Must visit!“

“In one word: fabulous!
After staying 10 days in Tavira, this is undoubtedly my favorite restaurant! We went back twice during our stay ?
Very warm welcome, tasty and traditional dishes, green surroundings in the pretty garden located at the back of the restaurant.
I recommend the mixed salad with figs as well as the hamburger (without bread).
You can go there with your eyes closed ?
However, be careful to withdraw beforehand because credit card is not accepted!“

“We got carried away by the reviews and we were right.
Located in the center, next to the central market.
Very friendly, they helped us with everything, between Spanish and Portuguese we understood each other perfectly hahaha
Spectacular food, everything we ordered.
You have to order the special XIC francesinha even if it's just out of curiosity, but it is a filling dish for just one person.
We also ordered sea bass cataplanas, delicious and at a price that I have not seen in other restaurants in Portugal.
The lamb was also very good.
The half-liter jugs of white wine at €4, unbeatable. And well.
That said, the treatment was fantastic. The boss was there the entire time in case we needed anything.
A place we are looking forward to returning to.“

“What a pleasant surprise this restaurant.
Delicious food, very good, very well prepared.
Super pleasant staff, friendly and very professional.
Very pleasant terrace
Delicious desserts
Good wine list
I loved everything.“

“My wife and I have gastronomic experiences in excellent restaurants and today we ate the best grilled meat ever accompanied by divine smoked rice served on warm plates. It was on the advice of Mr Pedro and the Chef to try the Ribeye as an alternative to the Costeleta and Posta Arouquesa. An excellent and efficient service from Mr Pedro and, as always, a good wine suggestion. Thank you very much and many congratulations!“

“It is a simple restaurant, frequented by local people, not tourists, with several dishes of the day that are delicious and excellent service from the staff. We also loved the desserts and they also prepare takeaway food.

Vegetarian options: The day we went there were vegetarian options among the dishes to choose from.

Kid-friendliness: The children were very well treated.“

“Super restaurant! On y a mangé pour notre dernière soirée à Olhão. Tout était parfait, l’attente juste un peu trop longue, mais un groupe de 5 personnes avait commandé avant nous. La nourriture est très bonne et j’ai trouvé cela plus travaillé que dans les autres restaurants de poisson de la ville. Le service est agréable. Je recommande ce restaurant!“
