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.

We came here as a group of 13 to celebrate a friends birthday. I booked in advance via the Fork. I called in the day before to ask if the booking can be changed to an hour later and it wasn&rsquo;t a problem. The kept a cake and balloons that I delivered and set up on the table for when our party arrived. It was a beautiful and fun evening. Staff and food was excellent and there was a singer with acoustic guitar singing in Portuguese and English. Such an amazing night. Thank you to all the team who made this a special evening. I have recommended this restaurant to others at our Hotel and they have came back and said thank you for the recommendation. This is the best restaurant and bar in the whole area. Visit it, you won&rsquo;t regret it. Thank you Hope ????????????????????

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 !

We love the restaurant Di S&atilde;o Paulo. Their service is excellent and the food and cakes are delicious.

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.

Absolutely amazing experience! The food was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. Every dish was packed with flavor, and the sushi was some of the best I&#39;ve had. The location is stunning, with a beautiful view that made the meal even more enjoyable. The service was outstanding&mdash;friendly, attentive, and truly went above and beyond. If you&#39;re in the Algarve and craving sushi, Meshua Sushi is a must-visit!

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!

Walked in without a reservation and got seated right away. Service was friendly and quick. The food was solid &mdash; well-prepared and decent portions. Nothing mind-blowing, but I&rsquo;d come back if I&rsquo;m in the area.

Been coming here for a while now. The lunch special still hits the spot, good way to try a few things without over-ordering. Solid spot if you&#39;re veggie.

The chickpea veg curry was surprisingly decent, and they handled my gluten-free request without fuss. Right on the beachfront too. Service kept it simple and friendly.

We sat outside in the garden, and the flaming chorizo was the highlight. Camembert was good too, melted just right. Staff knew the menu well. Only thing is the mosquitoes were annoying. Paid about &euro;40 each, which felt fair for what we got. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Staff were super friendly and patient with the kids, even explained the menu. Food came quick and cooked right. Solid spot in Alvor.

Came back here three times during our stay. The food stayed consistent each visit, which I really appreciate. Fresh ingredients, simple preparation. Family-run spot with that genuine warmth you can&#39;t fake.

Stopped by for a quick lunch and the staff really stood out. Friendly, fast, and they actually paid attention. Suggested a dish I hadn&rsquo;t tried before, and it was spot on. Didn&rsquo;t hover or rush me, just checked in at the right moments. Solid spot if you want a decent bite without the usual hassle.

Stopped by for a quick glass and ended up grabbing a bottle to take home. Wine selection is solid, and the tapas were decent for the price. Staff spoke English which helped since my Portuguese is still rough. Paid by card, no hassle. Portion on the small side but you&#39;re paying for the vibe, I guess.

Right on the sand, can&#39;t beat the location. Had the flamb&eacute; steak, cooked tableside&mdash;good show and the meat was decent. Prices fair for what you get, especially given the setting. Service was efficient, no complaints. Solid spot if you&#39;re staying nearby and want something easy without the tourist trap feel.

The pasta and lasagna were solid, and the sangria hit the spot. Staff actually remembered us from earlier in the week, which was nice. Good spot for a casual dinner.

Stopped by for lunch the other day. Got the pork steak, it was big and juicy, fries were crispy too. Salad was fresh. Place wasn&#39;t crowded, plenty of room between tables, which I appreciate. Service was fine, nothing fancy. I&#39;d go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The guy behind the counter let my son sample like five different gelato flavors before he settled on one. Didn&#39;t rush us at all, even with a line forming. Honestly that patience alone made our visit. Kid was beaming the whole walk back.

Grilled fish was spot on &mdash; simple and fresh, no fuss. Portion felt fair for what we paid. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Came back twice during our stay, the grilled golden bream was solid. Staff even remembered us which was nice. Shrimp omelette was decent too.

Stopped by for a late lunch and the place was packed with locals&mdash;always a good sign. Had the grilled bacalhau, portion was generous. Pairing it with a glass of vinho verde worked well, cut through the saltiness nicely. Only heads-up: bring cash, they don&#39;t take cards. Service was a bit rushed but fine.

Stopped by for lunch &mdash; pizza oven was off, but the steak was solid. Place had a chill vibe, clearly a local favorite. Good quick bite.

Big portions, veggies actually fresh. That&#39;s rare around here. Food came out hot and properly cooked. Service kept it simple, no hovering. Solid spot if you&#39;re hungry and don&#39;t want the tourist-trap nonsense. Price was fair for what you got.

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.

The lasagna was really good, and the happy hour deal made it even better. Nice spot right on the marina, easy to just sit back and enjoy the view.

Stopped by for lunch and grabbed the kebab &mdash; honestly the best thing I ate in Portugal. Meat was juicy, not dried out like you see in a lot of places. Seafood looked fresh too, though I didn&#39;t try it. Prices are decent for the quality. Service was quick enough, no complaints.

The cataplana was loaded with fresh seafood, exactly what I needed. Lamb fell off the bone too. Place has that proper old-school vibe, nothing fancy but real.

The enchiladas rojas here are legit. Big portion, good flavor, and plenty of veggie options which is nice. Only thing is the tables are packed tight, so you kinda hear everything from the next table. Not a dealbreaker though, the food&rsquo;s solid.

We stopped in for lunch and I really liked the piri piri chicken, had a proper kick to it. The ceviche was fresh too. Service was a bit slow even though it wasn&#39;t busy, but the food made up for it. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the area again.
