European Restaurants in Portimao, PT

“We ordered a la carte; Tartaro de novilho, very good, it surprised me, then Carabinero as the main dish, a spectacle! My partner ordered Polvo (octopus) as a main and it was delicious. The wine we ordered was Fonte Mouro reserva 2019, very good. Congratulate the entire team.“

“Our dinner at Machado was one of the best, most memorable parts of our 1.5 weeks in Portugal! They brought out so much food, a big jug of wine, sangria, apps, and many different kinds of bread!!!! The pork was delicious. The staff was amazing in an irreverent way, and we loved every part of this whole experience! The apple crumble dessert was particularly phenomenal! And the price was extremely reasonable! We would travel back to Porto, Portugal just to go to this restaurant again! It was that good!“

“I came here because of someone's suggestion , and I ordered the meal of the day as they have this offer daily, very good home wine, the food was tasty and well prepared, hospitable atmosphere, to much noisy inside that's why I preferred eating outside, it's a tasty restaurant but still missing service of being a good one))“

“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.“

“Went here to grab a drink and snack. We had coffees and were given complimentary water. We shared a chocolate peanut butter banana bowl as weren’t too hungry. The portion was generous (I would have struggled to eat the full thing myself). The member of staff that served us was absolutely lovely. Great little place“

“We had coffee and breakfast and the overall experience was good. The service was very kind, fast and attentive. I had the continental breakfast. The food quality was not impressive, but considering there aren’t many good places around, the proximity to the beach, and the speed of service, I would recommend to visit.“

“Limited menu = fresh product

The quality of the food and the service are top notch, don't hesitate.

Starter, main course and dessert were delicious. The prices are not too expensive.

I recommend“

“Great food, Portuguese cuisine... Franchesinhas casserole... with several local varieties... medium steak and cod with spices... and home-made fries!! Homemade chips!!! Service and food World League! The owner from Porto raised the restaurant to a Michelin star.“

“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!“

“On vacation in Portimão we were able to discover this restaurant where the cuisine is very good, not much choice on the menu but that is precisely what makes the difference because there is not everything and anything.

Everything was delicious, from starter to dessert!
The servers are incredibly kind.

The only downside is the lack of parking space but they can't do anything about it due to the rental.“

“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 were very satisfied with the quality of the dishes, the presentation and the service. We didn't eat meat, but I have to say that we ordered three dishes of roast cod and they were very good and with well-chosen pieces. Pretty good quality-price ratio. I would recommend it to anyone. Congratulations!“

“A very warm welcome to a classy but casual restaurant. After being seated we were shown a platter of fish caught locally that day to help us choose! Very tasty starters followed by superb fish mains and fresh veg. I could actually taste the sea in my bream. Could see the kitchen from our table - it all looked relaxed. Reasonably priced Algarve wine to accompany. After coffees we were offered complimentary glasses of port. Superb food, great staff and fantastic value especially for the quality on offer.“

“Thank you to Joanna and her wonderful staff for accommodating such a large family group reunion (from: South Africa, UK, Spain, Paraguay, Madeira & Portugal) at their wonderful establishment. Excellent chicken, Excellent Price. Highly recommended ?“

“Great location with great food, the king Prawns and portuguese steak were delicious.
Portion sizes on point, left feeling just full.
Very busy restaurant, we booked 2 weeks in advance to get a Seaview table, there was a constant queue of people waiting for tables.“

“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!!“

“We loved our dining experience here yesterday. The service was attentive and friendly and the food was very good. I recommend the entrecôte à maître d’hotel and the octopus à Adris! The desserts looked great, but the kids wanted ice cream and we ended up not trying them. The atmosphere is very busy, but it's something we liked, as we stayed on the terrace and we could enjoy the hustle and bustle of the main avenue and enjoy the music from the surrounding bars. We will definitely be back!“

“Super delicious authentic Portuguese food! Meat, fish, everything was great! Luckily we got there early, almost everything was reserved.

Parking: There are actually enough parking spaces across the street.

Kid-friendliness: Good selection of children's meals. There was also just pasta with parmesan. Attractively priced.

Wheelchair accessibility: Everything is at ground level, no step seen.“

“It is with great pleasure that I come here to give my feedback about this wonderful establishment. The super welcoming atmosphere, a peaceful environment, the super attentive and friendly staff, in addition to the super delicious and super light on the stomach food. I chose the establishment to try something new on my vacation in Portimão with my boyfriend and I couldn't have made a better choice! Without a doubt the best plant-based establishment I have had the pleasure of trying to date! Best wishes for the entire team and I'll be back next year! ??“

“I had the pleasure of visiting the Bella Portimão restaurant recently and was amazed by the experience. From the moment I entered, I was greeted by attentive and extremely courteous staff, which left me with a great first impression. The food is simply exceptional. Each dish is prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the presentation is impeccable. The desserts also deserve a mention, which closed the meal with a flourish. In addition to the food and service, the atmosphere at Bella Portimão is another highlight. The space is pleasant, well decorated and provides a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere, ideal for both a romantic dinner and a family gathering. I highly recommend Bella Portimão to everyone looking for an unforgettable gastronomic experience in a charming environment. Without a doubt, I will be back soon!“

“My friends and I came here three times over the course of a 4 day trip to Praia de Rocha. The owners are the sweetest people ever and they had incredible pastel de nata and a great tuna sandwich! Genuinely lovely spot, would recommend to anyone looking for a friendly and welcoming atmosphere!“

“First day of Vacation, and we came across this blessed house, I have dedicated myself to catering for many years, the best Rice with Monkfish that I have ever tried, the octopus I don't even talk about and most importantly of all a family that serves you unsurpassed, thanks a lot,
P.S. I have booked to eat there every day“

“Visited Portimao for the first time to meet some friends who live here, and they brought me to this restaurant for dinner. I tried the speciality francesinha and it was absolutely amazing.
Service was very nice and friendly as well.

Highly recommended!“

“We are giving it 5 stars for the bar, not for the restaurant. Excellent view over the ocean. Nice place to watch football but what makes the place really amazing was the live band!
We also ate there and would not recommend. We had the fish and chips and salmon, which both were not good.“

“The experience went super super well, I'm not giving any more stars because there are no more than 5?

We went at 9pm, very well served, super attentive, we ate garlic shrimp, beef chops, cuttlefish and everything was divine, we also ate bitsoques, the only thing that would improve was the French fries which instead of being industrial would become homemade, but overall it went well. It's ok, you're super friendly, the environment is peaceful.
I will definitely be back.

I visited based on the reviews, and I didn't regret it.

Keep it up, you're on the right track, thank you very much for the dinner/snack

Parking: Perfect location

Kid-friendliness: Has a baby chair“

“Excellent food, well prepared and with quality ingredients.
Excellent service, very attentive and very attentive to the well-being of customers.
Spacious and prepared for families and groups...
We give it 10/10..we recommend it!!!“

“Ambiance un peu guindée et prix élevés pour le Portugal mais la qualité des viandes saisies au grill feu de bois est irréprochable. Pour le viandards qui veulent faire une pause avec les poissons de l’Algarve et qui ont un budget d’au moins 30€ par personne c’est un bon restaurant. Mention spécial pour les deux serveurs qui sont adorables“

“The cafe did not appear as good as when we went last March. There was only a small selection of cakes/ pastry. The duplo coffee was still as good but we could not find the pastry we would have liked. It was dark and rather warm in the cafe. Staff were pleasant.“

“Food is amazing, plenty of options and with the highest quality. Service was good and the vibe of the restaurant is very and The owner was very friendly. It was a little too hot inside for a summer day. I’d recommend to eat outside if possible. They accept reservations up until 20:30. For payments, be prepared as they don’t accept Portuguese multibanco but you can pay with revolut and cash.“

“Like being at home! Chef Giulio and his staff were very kind and very welcoming, we ate a really delicious and plentiful carbonara and amatriciana, it felt like we were in Rome. Not to be missed if you pass through Portimão, highly recommended. :)“

“The fish stew was downright one of the best that I had ever tasted. I was apprehensive that the monkfish would be tough, but to my surprise the owner managed to make it immerse in the soup's flavour while remaining succulent tender. 100% would recommend.As is the case with all restaurants in Portugal, remember to let the restaurant know if you do not want the bread/butter/olives. Those are NOT free, but they will not charge you if you tell them that you don't want it before touching it.“

“Fantastic restaurant, no English menus but the server walked us through and explained every dish really well , off the main road and feels very authentic. We both had seafood (stuffed squid and grilled octopus) they were great and tasted very fresh.“

“As a couple we were looking for a Portuguese restaurant off the beaten track while on a day out in Portimao and we found this charming restaurant, the staff were really friendly and very helpful as the menu was in Portuguese but she did explain what each course was in English which I found was really good, the food was exceptional, all cooked from scratch and tasted excellent, nice little restaurant with excellent decor which made it feel very Portuguese, the bill was inexpensive basically couldn't believe how much it came to, basically 23 euros? We had main course, bottle of beer, fizzy water, 2 coffee's. Highly recommended.“

“Excellent traditional restaurant in Pedra Mourinha Portimão. The staff are lovely and attentive. The dishes are delicious whether meat or fish. Probably one of the best sardines I've ever eaten. I recommend this restaurant 100% Thank you“

“What a find. We came across this restaurant while walking around the area one evening, and not being too far from where we were staying. The first evening we went In quite late, but asked if we could just have a drink, which they willingly obliged as many diners had already left. Due to the place being popular, especially with locals, we asked if we could reserve a table the following evening? As it was a Saturday, bookings for the weekend are definitely recommended. All round the food was simply delicious, from the vegetable soup, prawn piri piri, giant grilled prawns and cheese cake plus the excellent house wine, we really enjoyed our evening in Café Brasil. The staff are friendly and accommodating, along with a convivial atmosphere and very reasonable prices we can certainly recommend this restaurant and we will definitely go back again when in Portimão.“

“The food was really yummy, but spicy as well, so be ready. The staff is very kind and patient and the restaurant itself is in a quiet spot (at dinnertime at least).

Vegetarian options: Korean food is very vegetable base, so I would say there are nice options.“

“We read the reviews and on Sunday we tried dinner there and we loved it. We ordered sardines and sea bass and they were delicious. 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“

“I have no words, everything was a 10. The wonderful service and the food, what can I say if everything was delicious. The monkfish skewer, a spectacle but the rooster fillets are extremely tasty and accompanied by a delicious sauce. It deserves not 5 stars, but an entire constellation. “

“super cute restaurant, well located at the marina, fast and friendly service, menus in several languages ​​and typical PORTUGUESE food - it was more than perfect ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had rabbit stew, pork ribs, sea bream and chicken piri piri ?

I cannot confirm or understand the <4 star rating“

“Excellent location with good amenities. Very old building well updated. Good size beds, great mattress providing good night sleep. Very clean throughout. Staff were welcoming, polite and prompt. Didn't have time tp try the pool, maybe next time.“

“The place offers a wonderful view of the ocean and the surrounding rocks. We waited a long time for the food. The agave pickle/Saxon was very tasty. The strawberry rice is special. However, instead of the tomatoes that were served with the salad, some fruit would have been better. I would have preferred to eat figs with it.“

“Good restaurant, good service, pleasant setting
The dishes were good
The only downside is the bill... a bit expensive for what it is (be careful if you ask for mustard it will be charged to you and tips are also billed in the “gratificação” bill)“

“Found almost by chance, it turned out to be a good choice. Very good food and generous portions like the seafood rice, the other dishes including grilled tuna and beef with egg and fried yam. Perfect service, thank you Samantha for your kindness sympathy and attention.
If you pass through Portimão I recommend it!“

“We went two nights to their outdoor terrace and discovered a good mojito for 5 eur and we had it in a quiet place 20 meters from the combat bashing that you have on the main street of the nightlife in Portimao.

Good, nice and cheap, you couldn't ask for more ?“

“Everything was quite delicious. Meals are prepared with care to taste...delicious. I recommend. We ordered olives and Brazilian-style cracklings for starters, crunchy but at the same time "fluffy". Main course meat board...sensational. Thank you for the good food ? fantastic service ?“

“Returned after a number of years and it was so good to find that it was as great as before. Good food and wine. Still reasonably priced too. Best Portuguese steak ever. Visited 3 evenings. Looking forward to next year. Well done to the family.“

“Good place to eat grilled fish or meat.
In fact, it is not touristy and full of local Portuguese.
I recommend this place as everything is fresh and very good.
Excellent value for money.
Fast service and courteous staff.“

“We were recommended to try this restaurant and it did not disappoint. I ordered the grilled fish and received a whole fish plus sides. Delicious. We arrived when it opened and it filled up quite fast. Service was lovely. Such a nice local feel.“

“Spectacular food, very well prepared, tasty.Impeccable service, very attentive staff.Great atmosphere with no fuss, you can eat and chat without being shouted at.I just didn't put pictures because the food looked so good and so tasty that it was only after eating that I remembered.??????????????.“
