Service

Quiet, cozy place tucked away in a small residential area. Also has a great outdoor space, will return for lunch to enjoy dining outdoors.Food is well prepared with their own unique recipes for the traditional pork cheeks and clams w/ pork dishes we had.  French fries were perfectly crunchy and delicious.  Prices are a bit higher than similar places, but the atmosphere is worth it.

A creative chef and menu, beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. Service excellent with well informed staff who know the menu and are friendly, helpful and attentive. This is a top class restaurant.

Located Outside the tourist district but deserves to be highly recognized. Food was delicious and beautifully presented from appetizers to main dishes. We had the fried squid strips, pork truffle balls, black squid linguine with shrimp and pork belly . All were amazing. Service was great as well.

Nice restaurant with good service and nice food. Price and quality are very good. I would recommend this place to go for a visit.

Before we went I requested a good view for the sunset. The staff set up our own table on the outside terrace which is usually reserved for drinks only. After the sun went down and it got cold they allowed us to move inside without question. Server was really good, friendly and made good suggestions for food and wine for us.

We regularly visit Casa Joao when on holiday in a nearby golf resort. We enjoy their Italian food.The staff are friendly, the food is very good and it&#39;s good value.Sesmarias is a little way out from the holiday villages of Carvoeiro and Ferragudo but Casa Joao is worth visiting and there is usually parking available on the roadside.

You&#39;d never know it from outside but this is a really cozy spot with great quality pizza. The owner was a real character and took time to walk us through some of his favourite menu items. We split 3 pizzas and one of their amazing thin crust garlic breads for a family of 4. I don&#39;t remember the name, but the white pizza with seasonal figs had a beautiful blend of flavours (we took a 2nd to go for a quick beach snack the next day). The draft beer was cold and the atmosphere was just right... albeit in a small footprint. Make sure to reserve a table during peak season!

great food, charming ambience set in authentic part of town (fisherman&#39;s port). attentive service (brought my daughters blankets due to the wind).

This restaurant offers some of the best Indian food I&#39;ve ever tasted! The flavors are rich and the presentation is elegant. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-tier dining experience.

Food was fresh. Ordered prawn salad, chicken wrap, salmon wrap and Golfland burger and everything was fresh and tasted great.

Wonderfully charming and homey ambiance you feel as though you&rsquo;ve walked into someone&rsquo;s dining room. One suggestion take a taxi as getting here can be challenging, it&rsquo;s located in a residential neighborhood with very steep hills and narrow streets. And our GPS got confused and we drove around in circles. It&rsquo;s a set menu for 38&euro;, 7 courses, five starters and two mains one fish and meat. All of the dishes are authentic Portuguese cuisine and mostly seafood. Truly fresh ingredients, some highlights fresh clams in a garlic butter sauce, lightly battered shrimp, fresh fish with homemade pasta in a light broth with piri piri and cilantro. The pork on the bone in a light stew was so incredibly tender and juicy.The mini dessert sampler was fantastic! The almond crunch was fantastic as was the lemon and carob cakes. The service was excellent and our waiter is the son of the owner&rsquo;s and his Mom is the chef who we met and thanked her for a truly phenomenal and special meal.

Always a delight to eat here. Fresh ingredients, no skimping on flavours and spices, brilliantly cooked and friendly, professional, efficient service.

Fab visit as usual . Good food , great value . Rui and his staff make it a fun filled evening . Rui plays guitar so we all had a great sing song Worth a visit

Everything was as good as ever, it was extremely busy hence service was a little slow however as we were on holiday it was no biggie and a good time was had by all

Salmora is a great restaurant. tapas style food with a great menu.  The chicken teriyaki is a winner along with the gyozas.  we also has the beef strips,  octopus and apple pie which was made with filo pasty - yum!. i was looking forward to having the clams but unfortunately they had finished by the time we dined at 9pm. The service was attentive, decor and ambience of the restaurant was pleasant.  Would highly recommend and advise that you book to ensure you get a table.

Our first visit to Borges restaurant in spite of many years staying nearby. We found a warm welcome , excellent food and service . A very enjoyable evening . Highly recommended

If you haven&rsquo;t done your homework you will never find this little gem. It&rsquo;s down a back street off the main drag where if you like delicious food you would avoid. The atmosphere is welcoming with a lovely buzz. The staff are happy and proud of what they serve you. The fresh fish is out of this world especially the seafood rice and the catch of the day. Recommended *****

Visited with friends on the last night of our holiday, so a bit of pressure on me, but did not disappoint. We had a lovely window table, water offered as we sat down, and service at all stages was excellent. A nice level of knowledgable advice and chat from all staff who served us. I chose tagliatelle  dish which I had had before, one friend chose the same the other had fillet steak. All were delicious, washed down with a glass each of house wine, which we were informed was from Tavira, even the location of the vineyard! Then two of us shared a very chocolatey dessert. The bill was pleasingly modest for the quality of the food and service. Highly recommended for a slightly special occasion.

We went for lunch and thought the restaurant and service was excellent. Surprised to the upside for sure. Would recommend,

Really tasty fresh food. The prawn curry with wild rice was beautiful. Wine was fantastic and the waitress and other staff members were very attentive. One of the best meals we had while in Olhao.

The most gorgeous meal here tonight. Cannot fault a thing. Service was excellent, staff friendly and food delicious. Will be returning before we leave this week for another meal!

The restaurant has a lovely outdoor space and is popular for its daily lunch specials. The staff is friendly and welcoming, enhancing the overall dining experience.

Simply excellent cuisine!! Quality of fish and meat is really good and Andy is a very talented chef. To recommend absolutely!!

Quiet Friday evening in Faro old town. Friendly service, The seafood rice dish is very good.A bit overpriced compared to other restaurants in Faro serving the same dishes.

Everything here is exceptional. Great food, great service, great location. We&#39;ve been here twice and will be back for more.

The terrace offers stunning sea views, and the apple Tatin dessert is a must-try &ndash; it&#39;s served warm with ice cream and is simply delightful.

Great service, we arriveren with 1 person in a Wheel chair , the waiters liftend the chair so we had a nice spot in the restaurant

Really like the Pizza here . It was my favorite. A thin, crispy crust with both traditional and some inventive toppings. The staff are very warm and welcoming. We&rsquo;ll definitely be back!

Great seafood, friendly service. A little bit out of the city centre, but definitely worth walking the extra kilometer!

This was one the best restaurants I&rsquo;ve been to recently in the Algarve! The food was delicious, the service excellent and the ambience and setting felt very authentic. Would definitely recommend it!
