Service

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.

One of our favourite restaurants which never disappoints for quality of food, excellent service and a outstanding wine list. Depending on the season, you have the choice of indoor or outdoor dining. Lunchtime, it offers prato do dia dishes with a choice of meat or fish dish and a salad in summer. In the evenings, there is a more comprehensive choice of menu. Yes, the restaurant is a little bit more expensive than others locally but it&#39;s a cut above the average in all aspects and well worth it. I always reserve a table with the fork because not surprisingly, it gets busy. My one criticism is the parking spaces. Directly outside is OK but left and right of the restaurant, it is bumpy, uneven and difficult to park.

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

We have been 10 times and it&rsquo;s still one of my favourite places in the Algarve. Great spot. Great food. What&rsquo;s not to like.

We had a beautiful meal in a neat square under the warm evening sky. There was a mix of customers from young children to a few senior citizens but all seamed to enjoy their evening

A fabulous seafood restaurant with fresh produce and lovely staff. We had crab, octopus salad, prawns and pork and clams. All were delicious! Fresh and well presented. Casual and friendly and great value for money. Oh, and the sangria was great and a good wine selection. Such a lovely lunch and our guests were impressed!

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

Friendly personnel, really tasty sushi, beautiful view from the upper balcony and fresh breeze. It was my birthday, and guys served me a desert with candle. Trifle detail, but so nice of them!

After an energetic evening of pickleball at Browns Sports Resort with the family, we stumbled across what we thought would be a standard curry house just a short walk away &ndash; but what we found at United Kitchen of India was something genuinely special. First Impressions From the moment we arrived, the warm smiles and genuine hospitality from the staff set the tone. The team couldn&rsquo;t do enough for us &ndash; suggesting starters and mains with real pride and care. We took their advice and, honestly, I&rsquo;m so glad we did. Food That Surprised and Delighted We were expecting &ldquo;decent&rdquo;, maybe even &ldquo;pretty good&rdquo;. What we got was wow. Each curry was a flavour bomb &ndash; rich, complex, and clearly crafted by someone who loves what they do. The depth of flavour had us speechless &ndash; and that doesn&rsquo;t happen often! Midway through, we had the pleasure of meeting the chef, who kindly came out to chat. He shared stories of his culinary journey, including cooking for celebrities and working in top resorts. His passio

We have been coming to Paraiso&rsquo;s for the last 6 years and love everything about it. The food and service is exquisite and Lena and her team cannot do enough for her guests. I highly recommend the steak on the stone with peppercorn sauce, the turkey and mushroom dish and you really must try one of Lena&rsquo;s homemade desserts- cheescake, banoffee pie or the tiramisu!  All are simply divine!

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.

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.

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!

This place is truly what is meant by a hidden gem. The care and attention to detail is spectacular. They use the best quality ingredients and it shows. They are proud of what they serve and rightly so. We went 2 nights in a row when we found it. Would have been 3 had we not been leaving. So much choice on menu so would find it hard to make a recommendation, you can&rsquo;t go wrong whatever you choose. Oh and have to say from the young man serving to the effusive front of house, service is natural and welcoming. Thank you for having us.

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.

A lovely restaurant with a buzzing atmosphere and a diverse menu. The service is friendly, and the food is well worth the price. A great spot to enjoy a meal with friends.

The restaurant offers high-quality meals at reasonable prices, with attentive service that enhances the overall experience. A must-visit for anyone in the area!

We tried this place about 3 years ago and were not impressed but the change has been phenomenal. Thoroughly enjoyed the food last night. The Tom Yum soup was extremely tasty and the satay starter was more than enough for two people. Two main dish curries were also very tasty. Definitely will return.

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

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. 😀😀👍

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

This restaurant offers an incredible dining experience with a fantastic Fado singer every Friday night, creating a perfect atmosphere for enjoying delicious local cuisine.

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!!
