“Greatest foods, great place & View.. Restaurante O Horta == is on the Seafront Toad in Olhao, looking out to the Ria Formosa , which is cionsidered as one of the seven wonders of Portugal. They offer a wide variety of seafoods dishes- using fresh and high quality ingredients from the Ria Formosa and the region such as seafood tejoada, the very typhical Algarvean cataplana and the tradional park with clams, you can also enjoy another importante Algarvean dish based on a tradional recipe- Xarem, with clams or cockles. 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..“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“My family and I chose this restaurant for its offering of the true flavors of Portuguese cuisine and we really weren't disappointed until dessert time.
The dessert chosen by my husband and I was a lemon meringue tart...existing lemon, meringue from poorly cooked egg whites that left us with a gastrointestinal problem for 3 days.
We notified the restaurant and were told it was impossible as they had not received any other complaints.
Very disappointed ...
It's a real shame because a lot of their menu is very good.“

“Very good gastronomic experience. We had dinner in the square in front of the restaurant, the people who served us were very nice. We tried the croquettes, the tuna tataki, the chicken burger, the shrimp, and the chocolate mousse with fleur de sel. Everything was very very delicious! A well-designed kitchen, much more than we thought. The cooks put a lot of effort into the dishes and it is clear that they use quality products. We 100% recommend this place to people passing through Olhao!“

“Well, it was by chance, we came to this restaurant through Google since we were staying in Sao Brass de Alportel, the attention of the waiter Fabiano, a very attentive and very polite person, has given us a high-class service, without frills and elegant, the food at the level of the place with traditional flavors and as its name indicates, I recommend it 100% to everyone, we also had a kitten that we gave her to try and she stayed with us, a very positive experience. THANK YOU FROM THE HEART FOR MAKE PEOPLE FEEL GOOD ON VACATION.“

“This is the first restaurant we visited at the start of our stay here on Olhao and it set a very high bar for the rest of the trip here.Miga aims to feel homey and comfortable, and it succeeded in every way. It felt like a dining room at home and it played familiar music from the 70's and 80's.The food was meant to be shared, without a doubt. The dishes were delicious, warm, and thoughtfully prepared.The saute shrimps were tasty, sizable and well seasoned. The beer battered shrimps were plump and tender. The octopus bruschetta with avocado was unique and refreshing. Salmon ceviche was extremely unusual, served on a bed of butter lettuce and to die for.Before we leave Olhao we will visit this restaurant again for certain!“

“By far the best vieiras we've ever tried. The prawns in garlic and clams were delicious ?. The service was quick, although the food took some time to be served, but the quality of the food was superb ?. We highly recommend this place. We shall be back again next year.“

“We liked the site a lot. Very close treatment, with a lot of attention.
We asked to eat on the outdoor roof and there was no problem with space. The only thing to keep in mind is that to go up, there are 2 flights of narrow stairs. In case you go with mobility restrictions.
We also found the food very good. The goat cheese with honey and almonds, which has such good reviews, is not something out of this world, as it is a large slice of goat cheese, with honey and almond sauce on top. But it is true that it is very rich.
However, we loved the fish (we ordered tuna and sea bass, and I couldn't say which was better). Quite generous portions. When they brought them they looked bland in the garnish, until they brought the garnish separately, very generous too! (Potato, broccoli and boiled carrot). The fish, grilled, was delicious and very fresh. I completely recommend it.
We will definitely return when we are in the place.

“Best restaurant!!!

Healthy food and sauces.
Although there are not many dishes, each and every dish is delicious.
It was the most delicious restaurant during my two weeks in Portugal.
The staff are very friendly and the prices are cheap.
I'll probably visit it every day I'm in Paro.“

“This restaurant is simply excellent. The food was beautifully prepared and the service was first rate. The portions were very generous and the fish dishes were delicious. Antonio made everything g very special for us. We will definitely be returning and could not recommend this restaurant more highly. It was recommended in the most recent edition of the Rough Guide to Portugal as one of the best restaurants in Olhao and we were not disappointed.“

“Often when you chose a seafront restaurant the food doesn’t live up to the location. I ordered the Grilled Sea Bass which was a special - I can honestly say it was one of the best grilled fish I’ve ever eaten. It was absolutely beautiful. The little side salad was also tasty and the fries were really good. Service was excellent too. Will highly recommend this restaurant. Very impressive.“

“(Translated by Google) Open to all clubs, although it is Casa do Benfica. I recommend it, good food and for anyone who likes to hang out or watch a football game.(Original)Aberto a todos os clubes, embora é a Casa do Benfica. Recomendo, boa comida e para quem gosta de conviver ou ver um jogo de futebol.“

“Very good cuisine. Well cooked and well prepared dishes. Gourmet and well served. With à la carte dishes that are off the beaten track. Competent, pleasant and smiling service.
Our small downside is the vinho verde which we found very flat. We will taste another one next time because we will return.“

“I'm glad I listened to the reviews. What a great success!
Super recommended. Kindness of service, exquisite food. Super good quantity and unbeatable quality price!!
We chose fish soup (very good), rice with octopus, grilled cod and stewed meat, everything was incredible, very delicious, you can tell that it is traditional and homemade food!“

“This place was a surprise for us - we entered it after checking the reviews here on Google and it did not disappoint! The food that we ordered was very very good - we had a codfish toast and a charcuterie board with sweet potato, octopus salad and smoked tuna. You could feel in all of the ingredients, that the quality was nice. We also had a very good sangria made on sparkling wine. The service was also great - very very nice and helpful, yet not trying to overstep in any way. The prices might not be the cheapest, but it is quite a touristic area. Overally, we had a great experience!“

“Lovely hidden gem with delicious food! We ordered tapas, and the highlight for us was the anchovies in olive oil - so decadent! The tuna paste served with bread and olives was really tasty too, and service very friendly and helpful ? Would come back again!“

“Great view, great service, great food, THE best sommelier. A rooftop restaurant with a curated menu and the very best wines to accompany every dish to your liking. Give the sommelier your preferences, he already knows the dish you ordered and he will give you just the perfect wine to complement every single note of your food. Most dishes are created with regional produce. The open kitchen is a very welcome add on ?. The service is very attentive and will help you choose the best dishes according to your linking.

Enter the hotel lobby, ask for available seating if you're not staying at the hotel, and let the staff accompany you to the top floor. Worth every single penny.“

“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!!“

“Overall, Flor do Roxo Restaurant is a hidden gem for those who want to experience authentic and simple cuisine away from the tourist hotspots. The restaurant offers a warm atmosphere, delicious food and is almost exclusively frequented by locals.The menu is small and simple: either fresh fish of the day or meat, both grilled to perfection. There are also baked potatoes (optionally fries) and a refreshing tomato salad.Of particular note are the homemade desserts, which are undoubtedly the crowning glory of every meal at Flor do Roxo! My favorite is the pudding!It is advisable to have at least a basic knowledge of Portuguese, as no foreign language is spoken here. But it is precisely this language barrier that contributes to the authenticity of the experience and allows guests to immerse themselves in the local culture.We had a great evening and the Senhor clearly enjoyed having us as guests and being able to teach Portuguese.Excellent price/performance ratio! We paid around EUR 17.00 per person including wine and brandy with the coffee!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.

“What a pleasant surprise this restaurant.
Delicious food, very good, very well prepared.
Super pleasant staff, friendly and very professional.
Very pleasant terrace
Delicious desserts
Good wine list
I loved everything.“

“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 ?“

“Food well prepared and with good portions we were well attended to
The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I was bitten by melgas (inevitable summer bad luck and because I thought the bread was weak) besides the best in the Algarve“

“Great food great value“

“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.“

“Had lunch at this lovely little restaurant tucked away just behind the main street. We had the anchovies which were the best we've ever had, and the Octopus rice which was fantastic. So reasonably priced. It's number 1 on TripAdvisor for a reason.“

“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.“

“Cozy and quiet restaurant in one of the alleys in Olhão. The decor is minimalist with small details that don't make us forget that we are close to the sea. We opted for a clam starter and a typical dish from the area, "Raia Alhada" and what an excellent choice. Thank you very much.“

“Excellent value for money for the quality of the meat. Heartwarming welcome.
98€ for 5 people (4 meats and a shrimp casserole with cream + parsley butter as well as crab pâté + drinks)
Enjoy your food

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, outdoor slide“

“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!“

“Surprise, surprise....our first time in Faro and full on 15 in the choice of restaurant for dinner.
Beautiful place, very friendly and professional staff.
More than correct cheese board to share and taste.
The gyozas are very delicious, the cheek bao is very good and the steak with egg and potatoes is an excellent meat in terms of treatment and quality.
Total success.
Contribution from the guide Danielin, try the economical and very surprising Alentejo wines Tinto don Gabriel reserva brutal.
It is a success to stop at this excellent restaurant.

Parking: At night it's easier than during the day“

“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.“

“Very good food!!
I highly recommend the black pork tenderloin, the meat is very well cooked and seasoned.
Very good dessert, the Isabel Cup. The carob pie had good flavor but was poorly served in terms of quantity.
It could have come with a larger serving of fries, but nothing serious.
In short: In terms of 5-star quality, in terms of quantity for the amount you pay, it is a 3.“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“We got carried away by the reviews and we were right.
Located in the center, next to the central market.
Very friendly, they helped us with everything, between Spanish and Portuguese we understood each other perfectly hahaha
Spectacular food, everything we ordered.
You have to order the special XIC francesinha even if it's just out of curiosity, but it is a filling dish for just one person.
We also ordered sea bass cataplanas, delicious and at a price that I have not seen in other restaurants in Portugal.
The lamb was also very good.
The half-liter jugs of white wine at €4, unbeatable. And well.
That said, the treatment was fantastic. The boss was there the entire time in case we needed anything.
A place we are looking forward to returning to.“

“A Ver Tavira is an absolute gem in the heart of Tavira!

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service. The ambiance is charming, offering a perfect blend of elegance and comfort, with stunning views that add to the overall experience.

The food was nothing short of spectacular. Every dish we tried was unique, bursting with local flavors and beautifully presented. The seafood was incredibly fresh, and the chef's creativity truly shone through in each course. My own favorite was the octopus dish - it was cooked to perfection, with a perfectly balanced combination of flavors and simply melted in my mouth.

The wine selection was equally impressive and the staff was knowledgeable and helped us choose the perfect wine for our dishes.

A special thank you to the staff, who went above and beyond to make our evening memorable. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality made us feel like valued guests throughout our visit.

A Ver Tavira is a must-visit for anyone looking for an amazing dining experience. We will definitely be returning on our next trip to Tavira. Highly recommend!“

“My wife and I have gastronomic experiences in excellent restaurants and today we ate the best grilled meat ever accompanied by divine smoked rice served on warm plates. It was on the advice of Mr Pedro and the Chef to try the Ribeye as an alternative to the Costeleta and Posta Arouquesa. An excellent and efficient service from Mr Pedro and, as always, a good wine suggestion. Thank you very much and many congratulations!“

“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! ???“

“Strongly recommend you check out this wonderful family-run cantina. Popular amongst the locals and with good reason. Had mixed fish and was amazed by it. Beautifully charcoal grilled, a selection of every fish I could have hoped for, the sardines were excellent, owner friendly, and the prices are impossible to beat!“

“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!“
