Portuguese Restaurants in Quarteira, PT

“I came from Lisbon for a week's vacation. A friend from Algarve recommended me to this restaurant. I like its environment very much. It is very clean, like a five-star hotel. First of all, the team is very polite, as if they have received professional training, and the food is very exquisite and innovative, as if it has been carefully designed and developed. I like it very much. And this restaurant has very professional wines, including French champagne, port wine, and Portuguese wine. I was very happy to buy a bottle of Taylor's 1997 port wine, which is almost out of print. On the second day, I came to this restaurant again and ate almost the entire menu in two days. It was great. On the second day, I was given a glass of 2016 port wine. I will recommend it to my friends.“

“I wanted to try something more homemade and cheaper than other restaurants downtown Faro. This one stood out for me and because it was near the Capela dos Ossos I thought I'd give it a try. Some people complained in other reviews about the owner and host of the restaurant, but I think he's a very direct man who sadly doesn't speak anything else but portuguese but tried his best to answer the customer's questions. I had the Arroz con Marisco and it was very tasty and cheap. The owner recommended that I add his homemade chilli sauce, which in my opinion is great! It's nice to see that the neighbors come in to greet him and eat there too. Also it was obvious how fresh the seafood is, because while I was eating a fisherman entered the place with a box full of fish that was handed directly to the kitchen. Modest, simple, delicious and good relaxing vibes. I can't wait to go there again and try the next recommendation!“

“We passed along the road and stopped because it was time to eat...and we were very happy...their specialty is peixes (fish in Portuguese)..and they grill them very delicious...Good place to stop...even though we were Spanish...the waitresses made an effort to understand us. Thank you“

“Absolutely fantastic food and service. We wanted a break from fish (they also serve fresh fish) and ordered the Argentinian Picanha with cheese for 2 as it was recommended by the server. The meat is delicious and well cooked, and it is a large portion which includes fries, rice, beans and the best chorizo I tried to date. The oranges and grilled pineapple were also a nice touch. Bring cash and your appetite.“

“Restaurant specializing in quality meat, a lot of atmosphere with a full bar and plenty of tables. Very professional team and I think the owner who spoke Spanish helped us and made things easier for us. It doesn't have a terrace and it's far from the tourist circuit, but it's great. Many quality, quantity and excellent preparation of all the dishes.
We ordered the bread with garlic butter, made by them, very good. Some pan-fried limpets with a delicious garlic sauce, accompanied by some corn tacos, very good. A perfectly cooked beef skewer, he asked us how we wanted the meat and he got it right, accompanied by fries (if they had been unfrozen, they would have been better) and salad. ALL washed down with a sangria of red wine and vermilion fruits, very good. To finish off a delicious slice of cake and a shot. Great value for money. If you want to enjoy meat, this is your place.“

“The owner is the maitre d’. He is friendly and accommodating. He knows his food allergens very well and also his wines. An excellent white port to start too. The dates and bacon for starter were exquisite and the steaks with sauce O Arco was sooo tender. We went back the next night and would have gone again if the holiday had been longer.“

“Had an evening meal here on two occasions. On both occasions the food and service was good.

Had sardines and fillet steak. Both were cooked very well with good seasoning but the fillet steaks were truly excellent, the best we've had in a very, very long time.

Didn't have starters or desserts, so can only recommend on the main meals.“

“It was a nice experience. Simple and very nice place. Excellent food, exceptional CATAPLANA. Excellent wine recommended by the waiter, impeccable service and the waiter was at the highest level of professionalism. We will definitely be back“

“It's a shame, we wanted to eat there, as always, and weren't even allowed to bring the dog with us on the terrace next to the entrance. Apparently that would be forbidden by law. This is nonsense, these laws are only constructed by the restaurant owner. Other restaurants in town even allow our dog into the restaurant. It's a shame we can't go out to eat there anymore.
But luckily there are good alternatives in Quaterra…“

“Loved this place. The atmosphere was incredible with live music and a very homely feel. The staff are very attentive and kind. The food was lovely and authentic; definitely freshly made. The chips especially were incredible. Prices were solid too, meals around €10 each and soft drinks were all around €2.50. We turned up without a booking and they were full so we booked for a future date, so definitely book in advance.

Had the chicken bitoque which I'd never had before but it was great.

Would definitely return and recommend.

Vegetarian options: plenty of veggie options“

“I only have one word to say.... PERIOD!!! Food at PONTO.....
Service at POINT.....
Atmosphere at PONTO......
We have already "run" from Sagres to Vila Real de Santo António.... Subentada if... Algarve Region... And so far... As I usually say "they have already won" ??
I heard and read opinions about your space... From very good to critical... But I only give my opinion after experiencing it.... And my experience was..... 11 stars from 0 to 10... Understand as you wish ..... I don't know anyone from the space... I wasn't advised...... I simply came from the beach and looked at the space and talked to my wife... Tomorrow we're going to have dinner here.... I liked it... And so it was... I strongly advise... let's go back...?
P. S. CARLO (WITHOUT S) you owe the CARVALHO family a reserve red... ??“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious steak, we ended up going twice in one week it was brilliant. Atmosphere was great, I loved the music, also really great watching the chefs cook in the outside grill and kitchen. Staff were brilliant with our toddler son that loves to throw a tantrum, keeping him entertained and doing high fives!

You have to visit if staying in Vilamoura, it's one road back from the Marina. But go and find it!!“

“Very nice local Portuguese restaurant in Villamoura. Very friendly staff anf service. We had olives and macrel for starters next to a glass of white wine and for main we ordered rice with razor clams for 2 people (35€). Exceptional service! We had some trouble eating the rice (clams had some sand as it sometimes happens) so the dish was immediately replaced with seafood rice stew which tasted amazing! Felt very welcomed and taken care of, thank you! ❤️“

“I had the Portuguese steak and would highly recommend my complaints were that the food took a long time to come out considering there was about 5 - 6 tables at the time that were being served. The staff was very friendly and polite. Another complaint about the food was that the ham on top of the steak was very very salty and I couldn't finish the ham. Would recommend and would definetly go back ?“

“Located in the Marina area, its one of the most famous restaurant in the areas as steakhouse. Very good meats roasted with good dishes like creamy spinaches, fries and vegetables. The service and waiting time is very long, i would avoid ordering starters to avoid 2hours of dinner.“

“Everything about this restaurant was excellent. Great food at great prices. Staff are so pleasant and friendly, without being overbearing. We even got a chorus of jingle bells from the waitress.? There was a really stroppy customer when we were there. The waitress handled it expertly. Highly recommend.“

“I loved! I went to eat suckling pig and I hadn't had one this good in a few years!
I went with my mother, the owner even offered champagne, and it was great quality. I highly recommend going. There's parking at the door! Space to eat outside.“

“A homely restaurant with extremely friendly staff and equally delicious food and great prices. In short: fantastic price/performance and therefore an absolute recommendation! Ultimately, parking can be difficult to find

Parking: Parking spaces can become rare

Kid-friendliness: very friendly staff

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair access possible“

“Always super busy, but a mandatory stop when I go to the Algarve. Usually enough parking nearby and now it even has EV chargers available for a charge while eating. Does not accept payment over the card but there's a cash machine right outside.

I always eat the BBQ/grilled chicken!“

“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“

“Perfect place to grab lunch while you clean your laundry across the street. I would have enjoyed the patio but there were too many smokers so we were forced inside (I certainly won’t miss the smokers when I return stateside). I had the curry chicken special. It was very good. The flan was excellent for dessert.“

“Set in a beautiful location, the restaurant had a very welcoming atmosphere. Staff were relaxed yet very attentive. The food was very good...we had the prawn curry and pork loin.Live singing and instrumental music provided an amazing atmosphere. The two performers interacted with the crowd in a very entertaining way.Music starts at 8pm on Mondays and Wednesdays and really adds to the night.“

“Definitely the best restaurant in the region, delicious food and unparalleled service. A family restaurant and excellent chefs. Ample parking space and playground for children.

Parking: Seating is available at the front and side of the restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: It has a playground for children, well set up and safe.“

“Warm, friendly restaurant, the typical Portuguese cuisine is a treat. Go there with your eyes closed. Very good value for money. The staff are lovely. We went there several times during our vacation and we were always very well served and very good, I especially recommend the grilled chicken which is delicious and the freshly caught fish which are a treat! It's a change from the tourist traps of the seaside!“

“I had a group dinner, mixed meat with the option of fish, several starters, hams, chorizo, croquettes patties, all-you-can-eat drink, dessert and coffee all included, very good service, everyone was satisfied, super friendly and helpful staff, the space is very beautiful and pleasant“

“Loved it! A traditional little Portuguese restaurant on a back street just off the beach front. We were enticed by the number of locals eating their lunch, and the previous good reviews on here. It’s the “Menu do Dia” set menu format that includes a main, drink, dessert and coffee for the bargain price of 12 euro. We had the traditional lamb stew and tuna salad, both of which were delicious, with huge portions, followed by the mango mousse. Yum! It’s never going to win a Michelin star, but for good, hearty, traditional food, you can’t fault it.“

“Excellent food, we went twice and both times the service was excellent as well as the meal, generously served, from the raia alhada to fried horse mackerel. Highlight the friendliness of the family responsible for the restaurant, from the excellent cook to the granddaughter who works. Ps. Try the carob tart you won't regret it“

“(Translated by Google) I am a member of the browns sports club and sometimes I go for a drink at the bar or on the terrace the serviceIt's great..(Original)Je suis adhérant au club de sport du browns et des fois je vais boire un verre au bar ou en terrasse le serviceEst super..“

“No question, the food is outstanding. But,...
When you serve soup, ensure there is a spoon. When you serve the meal, check with the customer to see if anything is missing.
Very simple thing, and this restaurant is excellent. Live up to your upscale brand!
Thank you. We will be back!“

“Nous sommes arrivés dîner en famille à 10 personnes dans ce petit établissement de type «restau ouvrier» loin des lieux touristiques. Nous y avons été très bien accueilli et le jeune serveur qui s’est occupé de nous était très professionnel. Pour un prix modique, nous y avons très bien mangé et le digestif local nous a été offert.“

“So you know those pictures you see of the food being servred? Who knew they were actual size here. The crepe with seasonal fruits was gigantic and awesome. And the coffee was great too. We will be back. Also can't beat the location and prices.“

“A very nice restaurant. On my first visit I tried the burger which was top notch and I will definitely go back and eat this again.
On our second visit, we had the oysters, which could have been better (6/10 points).
We tried the beef stroganoff, which was fine and a very good steak. Although I have to say that the steak was only of a good standard.
The service is great! The ladies and gentlemen took touching care of us. One can really only praise it!
There isn't a great view here, but the restaurant is really beautifully designed and very chic. I give a special plus to the cloth napkins, air conditioning as you can't get anywhere.
I'm already looking forward to the next round and especially to the world-class burger ?

Parking: There are parking spaces on the street, but they are very sparse.

Kid-friendliness: It's not really a place I would go with children.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is no wheelchair accessible entrance. Just a staircase that leads up to the restaurant.“

“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.“

“(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. Nos ha encantado. Sin duda volveremos. Hemos comida unas almejas, sardinas, cuatro cervezas, postre y café por 34€.“

“We have eaten very very well. They have treated us phenomenally although we arrived a little late for Portuguese schedules. The cod was delicious and the waiters were very professional and friendly. We were struck by how neat the cooks were and how clean the kitchen was. A little more fresh in the dining room and a complete 10!“

“Have been before for coffee and lunch it's a local Portuguese restaurant,food good,spotlessly clean Great value for money and good helpful service .Had a 3 course meal each and a bottle of wine 55 euros and a complimentary drink at end of meal which is always appreciated. We will be back again .“

“A solid 4 out of 5 is exactly where this restaurant’s rating should land, so tripadvisors are doing their job. We ate here twice. The food is great. They can grill meat with the best of ‘em. They get knocked down 1 for ambience (yes, I know it’s a typical churrasqueira atmosphere, but having the news showing images of tragedy on a Friday night? Come on, play some football or I’ll even take a bad American gameshow). They also get knocked for their espresso drinks. Not up to par with Portuguese standards in my opinion. With all that said, a good place to eat.“

“Excellent big undercover dining with open air atmosphere. Great choice of food loads of tables and good service from friendly staff.

Wheelchair accessibility: Eaady access and getting around eating area. We had one mobility scooter user who found it easy.“

“I no longer want another francesinha, at least in the Algarve! There was also a very sweet, friendly and competent waitress but she wasn't there on the last visit - I hope she comes back because the last service was good, I'll refrain from commenting...“

“Best pastries in Quarteira with the best view! The galão (latte) is great as well. You cannot beat the price for such good quality food right on the beach. Tuna sandwich was the closest to an American tuna I’ve had here.

Parking: Parking no problem off season. During July and August you will have a difficult time finding parking.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: I don’t believe there is wheelchair accessibility other than the outdoor eating area and they don’t do table service.“

“Great piri piri frango and very well priced. The delicious fries. The tomato salad was abundant and very rich too. Only two waitresses for the entire place, which was full; They were overwhelmed with work but very fast and very friendly. To return without a doubt!“

“Delicious experience of doughnuts. A great variety for every sweet tooth. Filled or not filled. Chocolate or not chocolate.From me and my family that went with me we all thought it was a pleasant experience and had good portion of filling. The dough was very tasty and soft. To my own taste it wouldn’t hurt to be a little more sugary, like I was afraid of it to be. I ended up being satisfied with. Would return and try a different one.“

“(Translated by Google) I strongly recommend to tourists who want to eat really local, super warm welcome, very good cuisine with traditional dishes. Perfect I was really disoriented. And as they say at home OBRIGADO!(Original)Je conseille vivement aux touristes qui veulent manger vraiment local, acceuil hyper chaleureux, cuisine très bonne avec des plats traditionnels. Parfait j'ai vraiment été dépaysé. Et comme on dit chez eux OBRIGADO!“

“(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.“

“Overlooking the sea, it is the perfect place to stop and have some tapas.
Dishes are well served, the portions are good for sharing and very tasty.
We ordered non-alcoholic Passion Fruit Mojitos which were divine, I think the price is a little high for a juice, but they were very good.
The burgers were very good and the shrimp too. The pica pau was the least tasty, or rather, we expected the traditional one and not like that with potatoes.
Overall a good experience.
Good price/quality.“

“Best food I had in Portugal so far. My top 2 favourites are the octopus salad and grilled chorizo. Also really enjoyed the anchovies and onions on toast.

We had dinner here and it was so lush sitting outside during the sunset.“
