We had a great time here. We couldn't understand why it was so empty. Delicious food. Very friendly service.

Started off well, initially attentive staff. Once we had our starters it was obvious the man ‘in charge’ was only interested in enticing new customers. When a complaint was made about the quality of the fish he was rude, arrogant and bullying. I have never had such poor quality of service in any restaurant in the world. I would echo the other locals comments about this restaurant and advise you to go elsewhere. There are so many good restaurants in Olhao. It would be a shame to spoil your evening.

Very nicely decorated restaurant, just next to the local market, with excellent food served in beautiful plates and very professional service provided by two lovely, and very kind waitresses. The “Cataplana” dish is a must: a mix of seafood and fish that is really worth trying! Desserts are very good as well. To sum up, a very good address not to miss…

Stopped here in the evening because they had fish soup. Oysters we off so had clams which were good. They forgot my friends drink and main course ? served just as we were about to leave. There was only 7 including us in the resturant?? The worst thing was being served poor quality oven chips for a meal costing more the 3o Euros per person.

Some of the most delicious food In Olhao and without doubt the friendliest service we have experienced in our time here. The sea bass was perfectly cooked and filleted at the table and the accompaniments were delicious. Yummy cheesecake too.

Delicious food and friendly staff. The quality was good but everything a bit pricy. The service can be improved for the style and price of the restaurant. Still a recommendation!

This new place is a catch in the city sea front and adds a savvy twist to the best traditional fish and seafood dishes! I’ve had two of my favourite Portuguese dishes and was very surprised by this refreshed balance on flavours and textures: Portuguese fish soup and fresh tuna steak which is catch locally in the city of Olhão. Definitely recommended to try some of the most traditional dishes. Their polenta with clams is a must try ?

The food isn’t great at all. My steak tasted like sardines. Bad service. Staff is average at best. Definitely not a good place to visit.

It had good food, but the waiter was impolite and we saw a cockroach running among the fishes after ordering our food.

Excellent. Calm (maybe now because of covid). Fresh seafood. Delicious. Perfectly catered As you expect as an example for Olhão restaurant looking for proper seafood.

This is my sister's favorite restaurant and now mine too. Such easy atmosphere, excellent service and well made food. My visit was NOT this year but a year ago.
