“Excellent. All dishes came in generous quantities, well prepared. I recommend the pepper steak, the fillet steak, the steak à lagar and the octopus à lagareiro. The sericaia is fantastic, the cheese cake was also very good.They accept reservations, personally I recommend making a reservation as there is a long waiting time and it works with a lot of reservations.“

“Een goed Portugees restaurant, met heerlijk verrassend eten. We hadden biefstuk, die erg lekker was, en garnalen met rijst in een pannetje. De bediening had een kaart in het Engels, en sprak een beetje Engels.
Voor vier personen met wijn,
60 euro.“

“Four years after our first visit we are still very impressed. My husband's pork cheek was amazing. I loved my fried squid and my 12 year old loved her carbonara. So sad it's our last night. We would eat here every night. Great value and lovely owners. We only hope they are still here for our next visit. We will certainly be back. We love the quality and tranquility of the place. Thank you. X“

“We visited this restaurant twice during our stay in Albufeira between Christmas and New Year. We had a fabulous lunch on both days although they didn't offer a childrens menu they were able to make a reduced portion for them. The service was excellent and so was the meal!“

“Little restaurant with delicious food. True local Portuguese meals and not only coming with rice and chips. They make the efforts to bring vegetables, it sounds basic but not always seen in Portuguese restaurants. Choco Frito was delicious, sardihnas and grilled squid was my favourite but they have many more choices and more elaborated like rice sea food pots. The place can get busy, especially seems to be a place chosen by Portuguese so don’t be surprised if you have to wait for a table.“

“Always excellent!
Tuna belly, that's what I chose this time. They were divine!
I highlight the grilled eels, tuna steak, swordfish steak, turbot, eel stew, sardines, sirloin steak, squid and seafood.
The best in the area!“

“We waited a relatively long time for the food, but given the view it was completely excusable. Since we sat outside, we had to wait in line to get a drink at the counter. My companion's food was a bit bland, but my mix of pork and shrimp was very tasty.“

“The best restaurant in the area.
Spectacular food for me, rice, fish...anything you want and more.
And the attention is 10.
Special attention to Beatriz who is a show girl and the boss Ricardo.
I love this Res“

“We were looking for traditional food and we found it here with super straightforward and honest owner that added to the experience. We ordered scabbard fish with bananas and it was super good. Never had it this way before and I was nicely surprised with this combo. But the craziest thing was cheesecake for dessert that had no sugar and its sweetness was coming from super good cheese that owner makes by himself. I was checking other reviews from curiosity and saw some reviews stating that owner is “not nice”, for me personally his super straightforward attitude was a blessing because I hate fake people :) For me and my friends it was amazing experience and we fully recommend this place!“

“Quiet place, staff and management available and polite, except for one lady, the kind where everything goes wrong
The quality of the decaffeinated drink failed, I went to the counter to ask for a change, which was attended to by the ill-tempered lady... "but a decaffeinated drink was served, yes, that's what I paid for... I showed... see the water dripping... well, I just wanted the decaffeinated one. It did the job without words...
As someone said, there's always the black sheep.

Parking: Many places.“

“I have been twice for dinner with family - they are regulars and love it. We don’t hold back when ordering and I suspect we can be a little ‘unconventional’. Not demanding - I hope- but we will order extras to try them. Never disappointed here I must say. It’s always a ‘Yes’ to any request. I loved every morsel with special praise going to my cherry profiteroles which were by any standard, sublime. I should have ordered another portion to take out as a treat the following night. Sam and Nick are just a lovely couple and cope wonderfully with our non- stop chattering. I enjoyed it so much I picked up the bill. See you again as soon as we get back to the Algarve.“

“Very friendly restaurant, very well located and with great views of the sea.
Very friendly and attentive team, the service was incredible.
The starters and desserts were great.
The main course option, the first two choices were unfortunately no longer available. And the choice we made, unfortunately, wasn't wonderful either. We hope to return next time for better luck.
Good wine list.

It's worth the visit!
Reservation mandatory, at least on weekends during the summer, or else an hour wait at the door…“

“Informal place but ideal for the place, along the coast with a menu that is not huge but of excellent quality and the dishes are all very tasty and good. The courteous and kind owners guided and supported us in choosing the dishes. A pleasant and tasty surprise for lunch with friends traveling from Lisbon to the Algarve. 5 stars deserved. Right price.“

“Top restaurant, from the friendliness of the staff to the food that is always well prepared and with very generous portions. As a regular customer of the house, I cannot help but express my displeasure with the last review I read. As usual, I was present in the restaurant and I couldn't help but hear what was happening at the next table. The restaurant was as usual and a little more so on Sunday, with many customers waiting. The Manager informed that on Sunday it would not be possible to discount the voucher that the lady mentioned, as with the huge influx of customers it was completely impossible. And there would be no problem with them scheduling another day to return and then redeem the piglet voucher. They were served with the same friendliness that the fantastic team at this restaurant accustomed customers to, and of course they had to present the bill for what was consumed.“

“When we got there the employees didn't seem to be very happy with our presence, in fact when we arrived the kitchen was still closed but they gave us the option of staying and drinking something while we waited.
After lunch, they became more friendly.
The food is very good
And the service turned out to be good too.
We ordered the mixed fish which was wonderful and the shrimp curry which was also 5 stars“

“We had a very good experience, straight off the beach and dinner at 6pm is not normal but very welcomed by this restaurant. A very good wine list and the option to sample before committing to a bottle is a great idea. We enjoyed Amêijoas à Bulhão Pato and Arroz de Lingueirão com Camarão my partner is Portuguese and she assured me it was as good as I thought.

Parking: Mid July plenty of spaces

Kid-friendliness: Swings out back

Wheelchair accessibility: Rock and roll ramp“

“This was our second visit after 5 years. In 2018, we visited this place as a family and rated 5 stars, after 5 years, it is great to see nothing has changed. We enjoyed the food we ate, which was again incredibly tasty. There is food for every taste. With sardines being the stars, there was a lot of vegan alternatives in the menu as well. Highly recommended.“
