50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Venda Do Pinheiro

“This place was absolutely amazing. Great food at a great price. We have been traveling around Portugal and we have to admit this restaurant brought it to a higher level. We met Alex the owner who was a wonderful host. We highly recommend this restaurant !!!“

“[email protected] My husband and I are still in awe with our experience at Rossio Gastrobar. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, and they took the time to thoroughly explain what to expect from our dining experience. Our server was a true professional, able to suggest a wine based on our preferences and his choice was delightful. We were overjoyed at each and every step, from the starters to the main courses and on to the desserts - everything was delicious, and the portions were perfect. To top it all off, the rooftop views overlooking the bustling city of Lisbon provided a perfect backdrop to our meal. We'll certainly be back for more!“

“It's very difficult to have everything good and sometimes it doesn't just depend on the restaurant, it depends on the diners. And today everything fell into place, basket with hot bread and cracklings already inside the bread, a person received like this even forgets to place the order. Then a menu that, after looking at it a lot, leaves you thinking that, well, well, you could order almost everything. I ended up placing myself in the "hands" of the lady who attended to me, with kindness and pure joy, and she chose for me, and the certainty and security with which she did so, without fear, is truly from someone who knows the excellent quality of the service for which She shows her face, there aren't many like that. Once again Mr. João, thank you very much for everything. More than knowing how to cook, it's being able to convey on the plate all the feelings that go into what you do. For you it was just another day, for me it was a discovery. Just two minutes of talking to you and if I hadn't had a sweet tooth I wouldn't need dessert anymore. We will definitely see each other more often, that's all I can tell you. Thanks.“

“Atmosphere: Cozy and familiar. Service: Quick service, everyone is very friendly and attentive.Food: There are many options on the menu such as cod with cream, meats, delicious desserts, homemade farofias that melt in your mouth.Good price / quality, you should book a table.“

“It deserves lots of praise and a new visit. In an easily accessible location, it offers a rich menu, a robust wine list and an impressive dessert list.
Among so many good things, I can highlight the soft dough pastries and the abbe de priscos. However, at a large group table no one complained. An excellent meal that will be remembered.“

“One of my favorite restaurants. I'm a regular customer, just like my family! The service is fast, the staff is incredibly friendly. The food is wonderful then. In addition to the flavor, the plating leaves our mouths watering even more. I highly recommend it!“

“We had a lovely meal at Maresia, the ambience was very relaxing and the staff great. Due to the popularity of this restaurant 2 of the dishes we would have liked had sold out, we had a large wild sea bass to share and the waiter filleted it at the table for us, it was delicious and was served with potatoes and salad, for drinks we had a large beer and glass of red wine. There is sitting inside and outside and they have 2 bbq grills.“

“Fantastic food that caters for all tastes and budgets. The service is top class. Very friendly without being over the top. This questionnaire asks about the speed of service as if fast is better but I’d rather say that the speed is just right. You have time to enjoy your meal without being rushed.“

“We haven't been in Alvor since 2019, and were looking forward to several visits to this fantastic restaurant during our recent holiday. We weren't disappointed. Marco and Ricardo warmly welcomed us and it was like we had never left. The whole grilled fish was better than we remembered and we are looking forward to next year already. This is a "must visit" restaurant when in Alvor. Be sure to book in advance though!“

“My Air b&b owner recommended this restaurant. We waited for 3 hour for them to open for dinner. It was worth it. We had the sea bass and two squids for 4 people. They were all very delicious. Not much seasonings on the fish and squids, so the taste was original. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“I found No Tacho on the internet looking for a good restaurant with cozinha portuguesa, near the Hotel Oslo. The restaurant is small and therefore not noisy. It is easy to have a conversation with your friend(s). The food and wine were quite good and the staff (owner?) was very helpful with explanations and suggestions from the menu. You will not be disappointed if you visit No Tacho!“

“Restaurant that brings the flavors of Alentejo here to the Loures area, we always have starters on the table with olive oil, bread, cheese, chorizo. Good dishes with good portions. The side dishes are varied, but of course the highlight goes to the migas, which are very tasty. Prices in line with the doses and are not exaggerated prices. Recommended. It has a parking lot. I liked one detail, the tables have a small extension so the dishes can stay there without taking up the table space.“

“Our 6th time here, a favorite restaurant with excellent and consistent Portuguese/European inspired food, service and experience. Best couverts, entradas and several fish and meat entres, each fresh, beautiful prepared and delicious. Incredible homemade desserts. Manager Eddy, Chef Juan, Juan C, Bruno and Caria highly attentive in all ways making each visit remarkable......“

“Cozy space, very well decorated, very professional staff, I had to wait for a table a little longer than expected, but the employee made a point of apologizing as soon as we sat down, the service made up for the wait, it was quite quick between ordering and When the food arrived, the preparation was wonderful.
It was a great experience to randomly pass by this restaurant.
I recommend“

“I’ve been here 6 times and will probably come again tomorrow. Just the best fish restaurant ever, starting from my first 2017 visit when we sat down and were greeted by our choice of fresh fish. Any mediocre review that mentions non-fish meals should be disregarded. That food may be excellent but four our traveling group of 3, there’s nothing like 3 different fish shared family style.“

“5 different meals, all excellent, in addition to fast service, it has beautiful views of the palace. They allow you to take tupperware of leftovers home and very good value for money. Highly recommended. On top of that they serve breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner“

“A place to eat fish where people can select what they want before sitting down in the restaurant, as the fish is available right at the entrance.
The place is not big so it is advisable to book
The meal did not disappoint, in our case we went for squid and cuttlefish, which were excellent. Grilled roe starter, also good. Friendly and pleasant service.
They accept cards. car park nearby.“

“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.“

“Second time this week. Superb fresh food. Prawns. Carpaccio (tuna and veal). Duck breast. Lamb shank. Sea bass. Chocolate mousse. The tastes. Olive oil. Garlic. Coriander. Ginger. Red pepper. Herbs. Sauces. Vegetables. Arugula. Balsamic vinegar. All brilliant additions to fantastic food. Add Portuguese wine. Nothing in Tavira to compare.“

“В каждый наш отпуск и путешествие заезжаем сюда, вкусно, и это главное ?, порции большие и из натуральных продуктов, средний чек не дорогой, атмосфера - настоящая Португалия.

Parking: Около ресторана.“

“Good food, good presentation of the dishes, good professionals and very friendly, an excellent restaurant to eat traditional Portuguese food, in a relaxed family atmosphere and very affordable. Thanks to the professionals and management.Good continuation ?“

“Nice and friendly waiters. The food is excellent, with great traditional Portuguese cuisine. Entry although it brings Portuguese initials to the meal it also has available Chamussas with natural ingredients. Desert also brings a sweetness to the final of the meal.“

“Luxury at the right price. Fresh fish (you buy the piece) that they cook on the grill. A spectacle. Although it is next to the road that does not mean that the restaurant is not what it is, an authentic place (without tourists). Sometimes you don't need so much glamor to enjoy authentic pleasures of the sea. The attention of the waiters is spectacular.“

“Good restaurant in the heart of the West region, due to its undulating landscape and characteristic vineyards and mills. The kitchen produces good grilled meats (their specialty), but also good fish. It's always a sober and safe meal, at good prices.“

“Outstanding food in a delightful setting and really good service. The value for money was also very good. We had a stunning Gorgonzola and pear risotto (????) and pork ribs with a lovely fresh salad and good hand cut fries. The house wine was really good. We will return next time we are in the area!“

“Advice: my French and foreign friends go there.
I have never drunk such good sangria or tasted such good Portuguese dishes. The meals are plentiful and the family generous. My companion and I were very surprised by the not-so-high bill, with two digestives added to what we had ordered. It's a very good family restaurant, don't look around and you won't find anything better than here.“

“Very pleasant place, with food to recommend, without a doubt one of the best places to eat a meat dish.
I found the prices to be inappropriate, even though there was nothing else to point out.

Parking: Down the street, just after the restaurant on the left, there is a free park“

“(Translated by Google) We made a spontaneous stopover before our flight home and have definitely not regretted it. Very nice local restaurant with super nice service and very good food. The staff even offered us a sandwich to pass the time as we were there before lunchtime.Can only recommend it.(Original)Wir machten spontan einen Zwischenstopp vor unserem Heimflug und haben es definitiv nicht bereut. Sehr nettes einheimisches Restaurant mit super liebem Service und sehr gutem Essen. Das Personal bot uns sogar noch ein Sandwich an, um die Zeit zu überbrücken, da wir vor der Mittagszeit dort waren.Können es nur empfehlen.“

“Easy to find and easy to get parking. Loved the fact that there's no Wi-Fi so people talk instead of being on the phone during a meal! The owner is extremely nice and talks a lot. Fast service, off the charts staff and the food..... Delicious!!!!! Small menu makes everything better. Mandatory stop! Medium price.“

“(Translated by Google) Excellent place to have lunch with colleagues, calm and relaxed atmosphere without much confusion. Well-prepared homemade food and a wide variety of desserts. I highly recommend, when available, the Tuna steak.(Original)Excelente local para almoçar com os colegas, ambiente calmo e descontraído sem muita confusão. Comida caseira bem confeccionada e grande variedade de sobremesas. Recomendo vivamente, quando disponível, o bife de Atum.“

“I liked. I will come back. But I will avoid the Esplanada. There are a lot of scoundrels out there smoking cigarettes and disturbing the conversation of those who frequent the terrace.And honestly, I'm there to relax with friends, not to fight. But for the rest, I liked everything.“

“(Translated by Google) Very good Portuguese home cooking. The girl who serves is very friendly and the price is cheap. highly recommended(Original)Comida casera portuguesa muy buena. La chica que atiende es muy amable y el precio es económico. Muy recomendable“

“Visiting the Mercado Saloio Restaurant was a fantastic experience! The atmosphere is welcoming and the decor is very interesting. The food is delicious, with well prepared and tasty dishes.

“Incredible site! Excellent food, in old-fashioned portions (yes... eating from a plate in some cases) with impeccable service and incredible friendliness. There was a birthday party which made the restaurant a bit noisy, but as soon as they left... Highly recommended! The price, another surprise... There were 4 of us, we ate 1 serving for each, dessert for each, sangria 2l coffee and freshly cut ham for starters... Not like the day before... €20 per person . (It's good for splitting a dose, it's served in Minho style). Congratulations!

“I didn't really know what to expect from the restaurant they took me to.
As I passed along the road, it seemed like I was approaching a house that was somewhat 'poorly treated' by the weather.
But after entering the park I realized why friends told me it was more than a restaurant... It's an experience, in a rustic setting so close to Lisbon, that reminds us of some spots in more rural Portugal.
The hot day helped us to appreciate the fresh white wine, and the company, the friendliness of those serving, to appreciate the chicken and rabbit slices, whose sauce is delicious, which makes us finish all the fries they brought to the table.
To return with the family - early, because it seems to me that it always fills up, and quickly.
The best food I've ever eaten?
No!
But let's be real, sometimes that's not the most important thing!“

“Nice space, super friendly and helpful staff and delicious food. The portion was great and the desserts were delicious.
It is worth highlighting again the staff's care for us, 5 stars.

To repeat! Thank you for the experience.

“I love the restaurant, the food is excellent and the owners are very friendly

“(Translated by Google) Family and welcoming atmosphere. Quality food, with that "grandmother's" touch.A classic and important pillar of the history and restoration of Bobadela.(Original)Ambiente familiar e acolhedor.

“(Translated by Google) Interesting space, good food, but what I liked most was the service, super attentive, super friendly. I recommend.(Original)Espaço interessante, comida boa, mas o que mais gostei foi o atendimento, super atenciosos, super simpáticos. Recomendo.“

“I really liked this restaurant. I arrived at the door and was greeted with a big smile, I entered in the same good mood, the employees are incredibly friendly. The menu has a lot of dishes, it's difficult to choose but with the help of the man who was serving us and some friends, I chose some samosas for starters, a prawn curry and a chicken sixty five. All dishes were very good. For dessert we ordered an Algarve pie which was magnificent. The prices are fair and not expensive. I will be happy to go back there.

Parking: There is a private paid parking lot right below the restaurant.“

“I discovered this restaurant 17 years ago because of the mixed grill... Simply wonderful. Without a doubt one of the best places to eat well and with quality. The desserts are delicious. It's almost always full. Sometimes it's worth the wait... Very friendly staff. Thank you very much for always welcoming us so well ?❤️

Parking: There is a free car park next to the restaurant, which is quite large and accessible.“

“From the place 5 stars but this last order placed with Uber this Saturday was on the public road and disappeared, they tried to contact me and my partner had the phone turned off. delivery method because this is a shame; they leave a photo with the bag on the public street and the message comes saying enjoy your order, what a shame

Parking: It's easy to park in the front lot“

“This is a great spot in the evening as the sun shines onto the pavement outside and you can watch ships leave the port. We had the seafood plate for two which was excellent and came with a mallet and seafood fork ... necessary to get at the winkles and crab claws. Great selection of seafood which was €45 for two. Beer was extra!“

“Food: Very interesting chicken options with vegetarian alternatives offered too We opted for mozzarella balls as a starter, they're the right kind of crunchy with an explain of melted cheese, but as its mozzarella, it was bland in flavour so we added sriracha which was perfect! Chicken waffle burger was so good! Very flavourful, perfect crunch and syrup added on top of the waffle just sent the tastebuds to a party! Mac n cheese was nice too, lacking in salt but again sriracha to the rescue! Service: Waiter was nice, friendly and fast. Restaurant: Small but quirky. I wouldn't recommend this for large groups due to the size and layout of the space but they did have a table for 4-6 people. Drinks: Cocktails were too expensive and even an apple somersby was 4€. That was the only disappointment from this experience. Music was a little loud considering there was only 3 tables and choice of music was not appropriate for the family table at the time. Would happily return again!“
