Our fish is fresh, and here the quality of the gring techniques makes alk the difference. They also have wonderful regional sweets for dessert and a long diverse wine list. Come, Visit O Horta and see yourself..“

“We stopped for a cold cerveja, the place having attracted us with the view of the bridge... We finally decided to come back for dinner and it was the best decision of the day. Just one word, a real treat both for the eyes and for our stomachs ??? We recommend ++++ Tavira, our little favorite at the start of our stay and a big thank you to the entire BORDA D'AGUA team.“

“One of the best meals I’ve ever had! This place had been highly recommended to me so expectations were high but it definitely lived up to it! The steak was sooo good plus the sauces and sides were perfection ?Just book it, you won’t be disappointed! The staff are super friendly too and make you feel so welcome. Brilliant value for money too.“

“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.“

“€12.50 gets you as much as you can heap on your plate and that is a damn good offer, only bested by paying €14 (instead) and getting to do it twice! All the food we had was packed with flavour and pretty healthy too with mostly whole foods on offer and seitan the only processed outlier. Highly recommend this place, if you can make it during the limited hours. Ignore the description re cash only - they have a card reader for payment.“

“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!“

“Wanted a small lunch, but ended up with a big meal because the food tasted so good.
We were greeted by a were friendly and proffesional waitress who showed us to our table.
A lot of the dishes seemed good so we decided to order some tapas instead of just one main course each. This was a good choice since every dish, apart from the sweet potatoes, were full of flavour.
The pièce de résistance was the lemon cake for dessert. Simple yet sooo delicious. It didnt hurt that we got an extra large piece.
Very pleased with this restaurant.“

“Oh Mom, what a spectacular dinner.

Absolutely impeccable, from the fresh and strong mojito sangria to the delicious tuna and shrimp taco starters.
Main course, pork cheeks, a dish that every Portuguese person has eaten a number of times, but which they managed to reinvent, and the green apple puree, cider foam, how wonderful.
To finish, chocolate mousse with honeycomb, salt and olive oil (yes, olive oil and it's brutal) and another grilled and buttered pineapple, with vanilla ice cream and cardamom biscuits.

A new favorite in Tavira, definitely worth repeating.“

“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“

“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.“

“First of all, clarify that the owner closed the old restaurant (because it was a lot of work) and

He opened a takeaway on the upper floor of the shopping arcade that hides next to the old establishment. Despite being take away, there are half a dozen tables to serve those who want to eat on the terrace. The cuisine is superior, we tried the excellent squid with mustard (lulas a la mostarda), a feixoada with seafood, and a spectacular rice with sweetbreads and shrimp. And baked sheep's cheese.

And the dish of the day was already gone at 11 in the morning. Real Portuguese food, with flavors from the Spice Empire. Very brave.“

“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.“

“Servings in generous quantities, highlighting the clams, beef bitoque, Alentejo-style meat and Brás-style cod. We come back every year because of the friendliness of the owners, who make my son happy and accompany the dishes he chooses with the wonderful mushroom sauce! Recommended!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Very close to the campsite, the welcome is warm, the food is fresh and abundant
A big thank you to Assaloa and Khadija! Homemade desserts, everything was perfect for us! The kind of place we love outside of tourist restaurants! Go there with your eyes closed, you will not be disappointed! We loved it and so I recommend +++ 12€ with starter, main course drink and 15€ with the perfect dessert!
A big thank you ladies for your welcome and your dedication! We encourage you“

“We were invited by friends that have been going to Vincent Restaurant for many years. What an amazing little restaurant. Somehow Vincent cooks and runs front of house too. There was a great selection of food. Everything about the food we had was fantastic. I opted for the house wine which was lovely. Vincent was welcoming and very attentive. We will definitely be returning to explore the rest of the menu. Well done Vincent!“

“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!!“

“Vegetarian restaurant with only a few choices for vegans; however, what we had was excellent - soup, burger, lentils/rice and the icing on the cake (literally) was the cheesecake! Good portion sizes. Andrea was super helpful, friendly, told us about the food she had made and you could tell she was dedicated to what she does. We went back the next day for a chilled latte. Very well situated, just a few minutes walk from the Castle and Camera Oscura.“

“Even if no English is spoken, you will be understood. The service is great, friendly and helpful.
The little one got a piri-piri chicken without piri.
And we adults could taste the delicious spiciness.
Yes, there is only fried chicken, fries and delicious rice. Plus a good house wine and a large beer.
We arrived late, sat in the seat and were happily served.
Everything is very authentic and delicious.
A meal that makes you happy.“

“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 ?“

“After seeing this on Happy Cow, we leisurely strolled over…. All dishes looked beautiful, but no table available 😥 Managed to book a table for the following day for a 6:30pm dinner, a bit early, but totally worth it! Owner was very accommodating and even prepared an additional starter, so that we could try two different dishes 👍🏼. All dishes were beautifully presented, delicious and the price very very reasonable! Also: shade & lovely breeze 🙂“

“The very typical front of this restaurant made us want it.
We were happy to stop there because it was a real delight.
The restaurant is clean! Homemade cooking!! The dishes are typically Portuguese and are really delicious and hearty.
The waiter is very pleasant and he speaks French and English without problem.

I sincerely recommend it if you want to live the Portuguese experience to the end.“

“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.“

“Super welcoming and different place. Very good prices (between 5 and 9 euros). Excellent service.
I saw that they also have complete dishes at good prices and daily menus for 9 euros!
We ordered about 5 appetizers, they were all delicious!“

“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.

“A restaurant that bears its name well...a little hidden!

EXCELLENT cuisine, a bit in the "old school" style, but it always works.
I didn't really like the passion fruit mousse but maybe that's a personal taste.
Quality service.“

“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!“

“Everything great.
From the space, to the staff and of course the food.
Clams, tiger prawns and cod.
Everything top!!
Congratulations and thanks for the experience.
Space to revisit to try other menu options.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Wow what an incredibly wonderful restaurant. Very good prices and good menu, very good food and incredibly beautiful interior. Very good location. Wow experience for the incredible good service we got from Gavyy, this waiter gave us such good service that we got the feeling that we ate at a Michelin restaurant, this waiter deserves all the praise. The staff knew very good English.“

“Wonderful restaurant which takes us into a typical atmosphere!
The waitresses are very friendly.

The dishes are delicious and plentiful.

The quality/price ratio is excellent ??

I recommend it 100% ?“

“It is a small restaurant located in the Olhao Fish Market. The charm you have is the food. The quality and the preparation. It is eaten on the terrace located on the pavement of the street. The staff is very attentive and they are waiting for all the details. We ate a very good arros de tamboril (rape rice), different from how it is made at home in Catalonia, but in its style, it was very good and well made. The price of €58 for two people seemed fantastic. Highly recommended.“

“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! ???“

“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!“

“Highlight of the holiday. Delicious food in a casual atmosphere. We were put with the other “outsiders”. Together with a Frenchman, a Swiss and two Portuguese from Albufeira at a table. The atmosphere is beautiful. If you go on the weekend, make a reservation!! We will definitely go here again next time ❤️

Parking: Not much parking, but you can always park somewhere further away“

““I recently dined at this restaurant and can only highly recommend it!
Every dish we tried was simply delicious.
The flavors were perfectly balanced and the presentation of the dishes was to die for.
The service was also impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff.
It is a true culinary gem that deserves to be discovered.
A perfect welcome and service ????
I will come back without hesitation!”“

“Restaurant on a street near the promenade frequented by locals. Very friendly staff. Very good value for money. Very good house white wine. We had octopus salad and shrimp salad for dinner, delicious. You can order half portions. The tomato salad is also very delicious. They do not accept card payment.“

“Vegetarian options: Bit limited but ok . Tomato and Pesto and Mozzarella salad really good. Fries are excellent, not soggy plus spaghetti with pesto, pine nuts and parmesan very tasty. Huge choice of teas and coffee from their own roaster. Tried a Bombom which was coffee with condensed milk.... delicious but only room for one. Staff speak very good English and are very attentive. We have visited 3 times.“

“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“

“Excellent food and service. would thoroughly recommend!“

“A MUST WHEN VISITING TAVIRA.
Came here after my parents recommendation and was not disappointed. Situated only a couple of minutes walk from the centre of town, we came back again as the food was to die for.
First night we had the gambas, fried fish with tomato rice, stewed pork rib (special) and the tuna salad. Absolutely stunning. Make sure to dash the tuna salad with Olive Oil and vinegar. Really brings out the flavours.
Second time we had the special sword fish cooked in parsley and garlic butter (special) and the duck rice. Both stunning meals.

They have managed to capture the locals hearts and it’s never not busy. Can’t thank the team enough for such a lovely part to our holiday!

Dietary restrictions: Was really easy to suggest meal for my partners allergies.“

“Good typical Portuguese food, good service and very friendly waitresses, we asked them for ketchup and mayonnaise and we thought they were going to bring a little, to our surprise they brought us the jars of sauces so we could add whatever we wanted, great detail sjajsjaj“

“A 10 treatment from the waiters!
The food is very delicious and at a good price.
We ordered some prawns as a starter, which were a delicacy.
As a main course we tried the octopus cataplana. Incredibly tasty and with a lot of product, we could barely finish it.
In addition, you could tell that all the seafood was very fresh, very clean, and the quality was excellent. I would definitely repeat.
Highly recommended!“

“We were eating there, the place is perfect to then take the boat to Culatra and you have views of the port since it is right there. The food is very delicious and well priced. They have a variety of homemade desserts.

Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs for children and a changing table in the bathrooms.“

“On the 31st of July, coming from Ilha da Celatra, we randomly chose this restaurant on Google Maps. At the place, we saw that there was a terrace area behind with a private playground, next to the tables and we asked to go there because of the kids (while we waited for the food and when they finished eating they were playing wildly and "under the eyes"). . From the menu, we ordered a dose of fried squid with olive oil and garlic, a piece of chicken for the kids and a dose (of 1 person) of red snapper pasta (wow... my friends!!!). The squid were very good, the kids didn't eat all of it, but it was well prepared. The dose of snapper pasta came in a small pan, I had to repeat it, I even took a dose for my 9 year old daughter, the 2 year old ate part of my "2nd dose" and the little one even asked for another basket of bread with which the four of us ended up mopping up the sauce on this delicacy! It was simply wonderful! The best I've ever eaten! I'm sure that the dose of 2pax of snapper pasta was enough for the 4 of us (Sorry "Novo Oceano"! ?)! Thank you to "Novo Oceano" for this meal (we left there bowing to the cook, whom we asked, at the moment, to convey our satisfaction), to the staff for their friendliness and availability and to the management for the excellent idea of ​​preparing that space Also thinking about children! Mandatory stopping point for a meal in Olhão!

Kid-friendliness: On the interior terrace there is a children's playground next to the dining area.“

“What a cute place to stop and spend some time. We enjoyed the omelette as we were looking for something lighter and they were fabulous ?. The owner/ waiter was very friendly and helpful. We did pass by earlier and heard a singer performing and it seems this happens regularly. We need to return as we want to try the burgers as they looked delicious.“

“January 23, 2024: For seven years we have been visiting Casa da Barreira on our trips to Sao Bras to enjoy a hot drink and a piece of cake. The standard hot drinks are a Bica cheia and a Meia de leite - you probably won't get better in the Algarve. The cakes today were a bolo de amêndoa with a fabulously airy dough under a dense layer of wonderfully sweet and sticky almond slivers and a bolo de abóbora (pumpkin cake) - recommended!“
