Service

Lovely dinner on the beautiful terrace upstairs.  We started with cocktails which were delicious. The staff is efficient, professional and, above all, extremely  helpful and friendly. The young owner (the one &quot;on duty&quot; that night) is very kind and he runs the restaurant in the best possible way. The seafood (oysters and razor clams for us), the fish (stone bass) and the octopus were very fresh and tasty. The beautiful wine list will meet everyone&#39;s taste and budget.  Long story short: a beautiful place, a very pleasant experience and some delicious food. Thumbs up !

20 ish minute walk from Pestana Hotel, service &amp; food was great!  Chilled and relaxing, quick service and really nice good food. Might be different in busier seasons,  this was Nov 2023.

Great food. Servers had a little bit of attitude but were nice at the end of the day. Shrimp tacos were life changing. Steak was under seasoned. Spaghetti was good. Brownie was mid.

Excellent service and food. The duck entree and lime cheesecake were incredible. Perfect ambiance for a pleasant evening with friends and a bottle of wine. We have visited before and certainly will again. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed this restaurant so much, we went back the following evening! The food on both occasions was superb as was the service and the lamb chops on the first night were exquisite - nearly ordered them again. First night the ambience was quiet with only a couple of other diners but the waiting staff were top notch and gave of their time with some great chat. It was busier the second night which gave the place a much better atmosphere. Definitely recommend a visit to this super restaurant.

Dining at Senses was a fantastic experience! The attention to detail in each dish was remarkable, and the ambiance was perfect for a special occasion.

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.

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.

The seafood here is incredibly fresh, and the homemade desserts are a delightful bonus. It&#39;s conveniently located right on the beach.

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

Dining here has become a regular occurrence when visiting Portimao. The food and wine are always superb. Thank you to the team for recommending wines to accompany the dishes - so knowledgeable and friendly. We&rsquo;ll be back!

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!

It&rsquo;s a bit more pricier but worth it, I would recommend the combinations. But unfortunately the discount doesn&rsquo;t apply to them. Lovely atmosphere. With all the takeaway the service got a bit slowly even only with 4 tables occupied. All in all great experience and quality

The restaurant offers a beautiful outdoor seating area with a lovely atmosphere, making it a great spot for a relaxing meal.

Wine and food was amazing! Lots of choices and variety of dishes.  Huge delicious portions ensure you will leave completely satisfied!!

Great and friendly staff make you feel welcome immediately. Sushi chefs are quick and create delightful rolls and goyzas at very reasonable prices.  The spicy tuna rolls are the best!

Great food and service as always. The refurbished restaurant looks fantastic with modern decor whilst retaining some of the original charm.

This restaurant offers an excellent dining experience with superb food and friendly service. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting.

Excellent choice of food, and very reasonably priced. curried chicken risotto was sadly lacking in chicken, but the flavour was superb. Great house wine and not overpriced.

We had the most wonderful evening yesterday. Starting off on the roof top restaurant being looked after by Nunu, who was very friendly and attentive and there was a really good vibe with the music playing. The food was excellent.We then moved down to the bar area where we were served by Eve who was also extremely friendly and efficient.A fabulous experience, we will definitely return.

Mentes tapas bar serves fantastic Portuguese style tapas dishes. The service was super friendly and professional. The atmosphere is cozy and we were seated at a large table which was great so you had lots of space to share all the tasty tapas. The beef strips with pepper sauce, the melted goat cheese, the home made tacos and the garlic prawns were all fantastic. The flavors are nicely balanced and the portions are perfect for sharing.&nbsp;We completed our meal with an exquisite chocolate petit gateau and a tasty lemoncake with ice cream. The gateau was the best we have tasted in a while, in fact it was so good we ended up ordering another extra gateau.&nbsp;A special compliment for the manager, she really made us feel very welcome and ensured everything ran very smoothly during our thoroughly enjoyable evening. I would definitely recommend visiting Mentes tapas and we will be coming back again soon.

Food and service is very good. Wine service was excellent with expert selections and knowledge. Pace of serving was executed well and felt food came at the right times.

We were so late to this reservation, but the staff was so friendly and understanding. The drinks and food are authentic! This is a must visit. Can&rsquo;t wait to come back.

Great dishes, the waiter was really nice with us. Sadly the card wasn&rsquo;t translated in English and my translation app was wrong so we take a really long time to choose

Visited here for lunch before going on a boat trip with my 2 children. Did not have a children&#39;s menu but the owner said he could make some small dishes for my children which was great. Food was excellent and very reasonable for the quality. Would visit again and recommend to others to try.

I can highly recommend this place. The food was incredibly good. We will eat there again, rest assured. Thank you very much!

Loved this restaurant! The food was amazing, and the suggestions by the Sommelier were spot on. The atmosphere is perfect for a romantic dinner, especially with the stunning view of the Vilamoura Marina.

I had the tagliatelle con ragu al coltello e tartufo, and it was exceptional! Just a note on the wine service, I prefer to pour my own, but the staff were attentive.
