Portuguese Restaurants in Portimao, PT

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“Spectacular place, super friendly and attentive staff! The food was delicious and served with care. The servings were good. We were a group of four, we ordered starters, a meat board, dessert, coffees and wine, the average price was around €20-25 per person and we were quite satisfied. The quality and attention to service are worth the price.“

“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.“

“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 ?“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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! ??“

“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!“

“A little Portuguese house with Algarve sweets recovered from old recipes by D. Isabel over the years. The reception is warm and experienced. They are all great but I recommend the Alvor bowl, which is a delicate sweet with egg jam, cinnamon, lemon and a crunchy dough all around that gives it a texture. Great cold tea from Lúcia Lima and lemonade to go with it.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“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))“

“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 best Brazilian food in the Algarve!
The chef prepares his dishes with ?
I couldn't finish my plate, very abundant!! I took the rest home!
Next time I'll be back with a Tupperware
The Brazilian passion fruit game without sugar ?.!!!“

“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.“

“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. “

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

I cannot confirm or understand the <4 star rating“

“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)“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
If you are in the area and want to eat delicious, homemade, local food at a good price, this is your place.
We were 4 people for dinner and we ordered all fish. Bacalao, sea bream and cataplana for two, 8 beers and a bottle of green wine.
We found the quality-price ratio to be the best in the area.
The cod was delicious, the sea bream was really good and the cataplana was at the level of a good restaurant.“

“The food here was fantastic! Great atmosphere and always busy for a good reason. All you can eat Japanese and Chinese food with a huge menu it’s honestly a little overwhelming to look at because you want to try everything! So many vegan options, small portions per serving so you have the opportunity to get all the dishes you want! My partner and I loved it so much we came back again the next night! Must try if you are in the area!!“

“On the way down the road we saw that he had excellent references. If they didn't tell you, maybe you wouldn't stop, but everything was a 10! Taste, price, abundant dishes and attention. Highly recommended. Honest and authentic restaurant!“

“En vacances à Portimao nous avons testé ce restaurant sur place, je le recommande vivement. Nous avons été accueilli très chaleureusement par le gérant, qui est très sympathique et patient. Nous avons très bien mangé mention spéciale pour les calamars. Rapport qualité prix au top. ??“

“An authentic Portuguese restaurant with a windmill bakery in the outskirts of Evora. Our Day Trip driver brought us to the highly acclaimed restaurant, difficult to get a reservation but he managed. A traditional rustic interior with welcoming staff, and a menu new to us. We challenged our taste buds with pigs feet , pigs head cheese, and shark soup( not to be confused with shark fin soup). There was also very yummy bean fritters and a tasty dessert Sericaia. A wonderful experience.“

“Good food, cooked in a homemade way, but so homemade that it seems to be at home, so that it was not served in the correct quantity (it came later but already late) per dose and both came in a single dish even though they were different fish in what was served was good. Dessert, the rice pudding was good but a little sleepy, the apple was baked in a little sweet and the coffee was good.
At the end we had a liqueur on offer.
The value
I ate some tuna belly as the fish was fantastic and swordfish was fresh“

“A cafe/restaurant that stands out and stands out in relation to several similar spaces in the Algarve, for the quality of service, therefore always attentive, with attention to the customer and in the treatment. It's not everything you ask for but it has weight in the business and without a doubt the food served is also very good, so in this case an easy 5 stars.“

“We had breakfast at the cafe.The torades are good.The squeezed orange juice is excellent.They are well organized in the service so the service is progressing well.Little wait for a big order.The tables are regularly cleaned.But frankly it is much too hot from 9:30 in the morning. It's borderline unbearable.But hey, I still recommend for breakfast.“

“We and my family were very satisfied with the restaurant. Very tasty food and very friendly service. Although the restaurant is not big, the atmosphere inside is very cozy.
Very good menu with main courses and tapas, everything we ordered was very tasty.
A 100% recommendation.“

“Here you eat well,Fish and seafood are particularly recommended, but meat is also very well prepared. Senhor André has first-class house wine and serves the guests quickly and friendly.The fact that he speaks English very well makes the whole thing much more relaxed.You can also be served a dessert (orange tart!) and a cafe.We always enjoy coming here!

Parking: It's best to park at the train station or at Jardim Gil Eanes and walk to the restaurant.“

“Very friendly owner. Small quiet place. Good value. Had Dorado by recommendation of owner. Came with broccoli, cauliflower, carrot and potatoes. Grilled to perfection! Maybe a little heavy on the salt, but otherwise delicious. Obviously fresh. No fishy taste. A light white fish. You need to know how to eat around bones, it is the complete fish split on the backbone.“

“(Translated by Google) Top place, excellent food, excellent service and very good prices very difficult to find these three aspects together in a restaurant and the person in charge and chef works with a lot of love because what is he doing if he could it would be 10⭐️(Original)Lugar top, comida excelente,atendimento excelente e preços muito bom muito difícil de se encontrar esses três aspectos juntos em um restaurante e o responsável e chef trabalha com muito amor por que está a fazer se pudesse era 10⭐️“

Recommendable.(Original)Un lugar simple a pasos da rua das Lojas. Comimos unas deliciosas bifanas acompañadas con unas cervezas. Buena atención. Recomendable.“

“Excellent Churrasco Piri Piri chicken! Crispy skin, lemon and garlic flavours make the meat moist. Very good prices, just 13€ for a whole chicken and a plate of crispy French fries that were similar to McDonald’s. Very local and off the beaten path.“
