Service

We booked through TheFork because we were specifically craving authentic paella&mdash;and wow, did this place deliver. Restaurante Villa Velha ended up being one of the best dining experiences of our entire trip.The paella was hands-down the best we&rsquo;ve ever had. But what really set the experience apart was the chef himself&mdash;a warm, passionate Spaniard who took the time to explain every detail behind the dishes. We learned that the pata negra was aged for 3 years, and the razor clams came from a local cove where the salt levels in the water are unusually high&mdash;giving them a more intense flavor and delicate size.The Catalan cream and cheesecake were also exceptional&mdash;light, flavorful, and clearly made with care.You can feel the heart in this place, from the food to the people. If you&rsquo;re looking for an authentic, memorable meal while in the Algarve&mdash;book this place.

staff were very attentive and the service was very quick. The steak was cooked to perfection, the salad and rustic fries were the perfect accompaniment.

We returned to the Indian Garden after having been there a few weeks before and still not disappointed with the food and service.

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

The service was unbelievable. Extra fantastic! The food had so many courses and everything was delicious. We had the WATER.

Very nice experience at La Villa.The food was excellent and wine very affordable.We had foie gras,frogs legs,duck and fish.Top French cusine restaurant.

Fantastic food and staff as always. Myself and my partner have dined at the Palm Beach on a number of occasions since 2022 and it never disappoints. There is a wonderful menu of fresh and excellent ingredients, I think I have tried most of the dishes at this stage and all are fabulous. The staff are excellent and lovely characters. Thank you to the Palm Beach team for making our visit so wonderful yet again.

We spent our first night in Lagos at Real Portuguese and it did not disappoint! We sat outside. The inside is lovely as well. Very quaint. In Old Town but out of the craziness and touristy areas. A more laid back, upscale experience. The service though a bit slow at times was welcoming and efficient. Food was excellent. I had the octopus and my husband had the filet mignon. Highly recommend!

Great views and food! Repeat dining and not disappointed. We were not asked about water and besides the minor issue, we would definitely go back. Great food and views!

Excellent, efficient and friendly service. I got the chicken linguine which was so light and delicious. We had reserved the 6.30 slot so had the choice of inside or out but it did get very busy later on so would recommend you reserve. Would go back as there was so much to choose from.

The food was amazing and the service was so great and very personable. Waiter suggested we head upstairs for the sunset on the roof before having dessert. 10/10

We have used this restaurant on many occasions and just twice now under new management.  I am pleased to see the menu has been tweaked, and I have to say that my Pizza Mexicana was one of the best I have ever had. It took several attempts to get the bill, but with only 2 waiting staff they were very busy.  More waiting staff needed for busier times.   We were  not impressed with the quality of the olives for the covers, too small, bitter and hard.

Very good food, well prepared and nicely presented, all with extremely friendly and competent service.  We&rsquo;ll most certainly be back!

29/5/2025We arrived at Italian republic and as usual the staff grated us with big smiles and politeness. Food amazing, great service and ambiance.Would highly recommend.Thanks to all at Italian Republic. 😀😀👍

Love going here. The staff are friendly and always happy to help. Very reasonable for great quality food. Highly recommend.

Great service. Nothing too much trouble. Food was some of the best I&#39;ve enjoyed including our visit to Southern India last year. I like the way the waiter listened to our preferences and tastes and made recommendations accordingly. Really tasty dishes all uniquely flavoured. Absolutely worth a visit when in the Algarve. I wish Indian restaurants in the UK were as good as this.

This is our second visit to Frank&rsquo;s so it must be good or we wouldn&rsquo;t have gone back. Hidden gem we definitely recommend : great food and lovely friendly staff. We&rsquo;ll be back again soon.

I went for dinner on Valentine&rsquo;s Day - set menu. Every course was delicious / great service / lovely modern decor with great ambiance / views. Will be back for sure 👍

This restaurant is tucked away from the main tourist areas, but worth seeking out for a seafood meal at a good price. I had the octopus, which was cooked just right, not at all tough, my partner had the sea bass fillets which was also very tasty. The house wine was really good for the money too. It&#39;s a pity that it was quiet when we went (Friday evening), maybe it&#39;s busier earlier in the day as it is also a pastilaria bakery and does breakfasts.

One of the best restaurants in the Algarve. Fantastic food , good service and best value for money!I will always comeback.

Could not fault the food. Everything was delicious and cooked as ordered to perfection. First class service and atmosphere. Will definitely return

We have regularly dined in Hamburgueria B&amp;B while staying in the area. The staff are great, the restaurant is a library of world craft beers &amp; the food is amazing. The burgers are so tasty &amp; home made!! They have a really good menu. They also have a burger of the month special and we managed to enjoy their October &amp; November offers that were delicious. They marry flavours so very well that you can&rsquo;t put your burger down after the first bite!!! I was spoiled with their gluten free options too. (Bun &amp; chips) Loved their fresh salmon burger I had yesterday evening. We can also recommend their cheese cakes!!! So fresh &amp; wonderfully homemade. We highly recommend a visit&hellip;you&rsquo;ll be hooked !!!

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.

I am always in awe at f the top service and amazing food as well as the inviting ambiance with live music. Once again, great experience.

We were a group of 8 friends having completed the Rota Vicentina Walk &amp; booked the restaurant to celebrate. Service &amp; food were amazing.

I&rsquo;ve been going here since I was 18. My parents would bring us all the time. I&rsquo;m now 45 and had a lovely meal with my own family. Food was amazing as was the service.

We were recommended Bella Rosa from fellow holidaymakers.  We enjoyed our visit so much that we returned on our last night.  The food is delicious and the staff are so helpful and friendly.  Would definitely recommend you visit when in Carvoeiro.
