very interesting old town. also a beautiful and widespread beac. the underground is mostly sandy with little rocks and shells . two sunbeds cost 21€. the old town has a party mile with live music and restaurant after restaurant with low prices.a pint of beer costs 4€. a stroll through the city is easily made in three hours.

I spent a week here 17 years ago, back then it was quiet bars and restaurants with quaint shops. Now it's like it's on speed! It seems the strip has moved into old town. The one thing stopping a 5 star from me is the fact you get hounded to go into the bars and restaurants, even in the morning! That aside the place is lovely the locals are great and there are some fantastic places to eat!

The latest visit in Albufeira that I did was last Thursday in September 2025. It was windy and still had many tourists. Nothing much changed from my last visit in 2021. The beach was beautiful. The sun is warm. Souvenirs, cafes, bars, restaurants, ice creams are there to be seen.

Cool place to hangout with friend’s and family. The nightlife is amazing. Must experience the sunset. 🌅 The place needs more public toilet.

One of the best places to visit in albufeira. We went multiple times. Some things that stood out was the tunnel leading to the beach. The always lively square and lots of great places to relax and have some drinks or food

Albufiera old town has a lot to offer. From bars, restaurants, shopping, and its proximity to the beach. There are small museums, churches and lots of things to keep you busy. The main square is vibrant. Lined with lbars, but a great place to people watch. Wander around the small streets, and you can find something for everyone. Many bars and restaurants have roof terraces, with great views over the beach and sea. At night, the place comes alive, with people of all ages. Crazy karaoke bars to old-time singers. Snack bars and fine dining. Many people come in on the little train and head down the escalator into town. These lead you through a large square that often has markets or music and leads directly to the beach. From the other side, there is a glass lift that takes you down from the town to the beach too. Out of season, this is a really peaceful place, but in the summer, it ramps up with hen and stag parties. I must say. Most people were very well-behaved. Fun in the sun

It's definitely worth the visit. Very unique architecture, plenty of different kinds of eateries and shops including some local merchants. Even on a hot day, you can enjoy a pleasant stroll shaded by ever-present trees.

Lively and Welcoming Atmosphere This place is fantastic! A perfect spot for a night out with friends. It's always buzzing with great people, fantastic music, delicious food, and excellent drinks. Everything is well-organized and the atmosphere is incredibly cheerful and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Certainly NOT the cleanest of places I have been . The bottom half down to the beach is a better area, more modern bars and a lot cleaner but be prepared for cardiac hill on the way there and back we did a tuc tuk which was great fun and the nicer bars are at the beach area . Foot paths are some of the worst ones. I have walked on up and down not good for people who struggle to walk or not good on their feet .There are holes all over the place on the paths and very slippy when wet . We went down during the daytime, so I would definitely avoid it at night . Not for us .

We were there in August and the nightlife is mainly for very young people, they looked to be between 15 and 25, all very drunk, high and ready to mingle. Very noisy, all bars blast the same songs, expensive drinks, the clubs which charge the entrance are not worth it. Albufeira Old Town is a much better choice

It's like a warm Blackpool turned up to 12, packed with people during the evening. If you like loud music, cocktails and t-shirts that say I ♡ MILFS, you'll love it. If you like Antiques Roadshow and fine dining then it's probably best avoided.

Very quiet during the day and at night crazy busy. Have bars, restaurants, clubs, shops, tattoo shops, dessert places from top of the strip to the bottom. A great atmosphere.

December Christmas week not busy at all which was a dream 😍👌🏼 Christmas Day plenty of restaurants open so don’t be worried that you won’t get food because plenty around. In the summer this place is crazy mayhem all the time with sports bars, clubs, pubs and restaurants kicking. But off season I found it to be nice 👌🏼 not many people around and lots of places do close for December season but I wouldn’t be put off by this. Plenty to see and do and plenty of beautiful restaurants around too.

The strip... Well, the strip is certainly an attraction for hens and stags who want to have a fun time on a good budget. Lots of harmless fun been had and the drinks are cheap

The beach is absolutely beautiful, with crystal-clear water and stunning views. There are many great spots to take amazing photos, especially at sunset. A perfect place to relax and enjoy nature!

The beach also has plenty of nearby restaurants, bars, and cafés, so it’s easy to spend the whole day here. Whether you’re looking to relax, enjoy a swim, or explore the coastline, Praia da Oura has something for everyone. A truly special place that I’d highly recommend!

This was my favourite beach such beautiful views and relaxing vibes. Great for sun bathing and a swim handy for the cafe and restaurants for food and drink. Loved it 😍

Wonderful beach. You can tell how healthy the marine life by the variety of seashells you find on the shore. Nice soft sandy beach perfect for a holiday.

Very clean, calm and natural place. Love it.

Gorgeous beach with coves, amenities close by and beautiful views.

Lovely beach. You can walk all the way along and around to another beach and keep going! The rock formations and a few little coves or caves!

Easy Sandy Beach Not to many people before summer season Good for families water is calm and not deep

Lovely clean sand beach - you have to get sun beds from 0800hrs and pay €13 half day or €26 for the day, at peak season they all go quickly. There is a bar selling food and drinks (all heavily marked up!)

Really nice beech, clean, a few nice cliff walks in each direction.

A beautiful beach, not very long, but it still captivated me with its atmosphere. To the right and left are cliffs and rocks of various heights and shapes. I like this one the most; you can climb it and continue along the coast to another spot, or another hidden beach. It's something wonderful. I recommend everyone to explore these places thoroughly

The beach is very nice and calm, prefect for little kids. ! Be careful with the beach bed providers. It's a different price for the first row and even if you go there at 4 pm (as we did), they will charge full price, which is 2 pm onwards. This is a bit unfair, in my opinion.

I used to love this beach... But not anymore. The quality of the sand is getting worse, as sand tends to be added every year and they're probably not adding good quality sand. In addition, some strange leaves are floating on the water (similar to pine tree leaves, not seaweed).

Clean beach, there is parking for cars, a cafe

Such a brilliant place. Feels like you’re off the beaten path but this beach is well covered with eateries and souvenir shops. Visited in April so my experience is that it wasn’t too busy. Water was a good temperature too!

Village beach close to the bars, restaurants and toilets. There is quite a high tidal change so the beach can be a bit small at v high tide. Well worth a visit.

Atmospheric place to relax. Small but comfortable beach with easy access. Fresh water showers available. Nearby there are many places where you can drink your favorite drinks or eat. Through the hills you can walk along the path to the neighboring large beach Plaia do Barranco das Belharucas, enjoying the beauty of the Atlantic along the way. Lovely beach

Loved the beach! Water was so clean. Near the beach you can buy suneviers and beer

Nice place for a day. Beach is very pretty, enough places for food and drinks, but nothing too special foodwise

A very pretty little beach with a good, if not inexpensive, restaurant right on the waterfront. Free public parking a few hundred meters from the beach make this an ongoing favorite of ours. More authentic and a little less touristy than most other comparable options in the area.

Fantastic quiet beach but bare in mind I visited in late December (Christmas week). The entire week it was so peaceful, quiet and not many people around at all. An introverts dream 🥰🙌🏼 There was no sunbeds, umbrellas, rubbish or screaming humans - just peace 👌🏼✨ the beach was just fantastic and the views were amazing. Beautiful waves all around, ideal to just sit and read a book 📖 lovely sunsets at night too. Really picturesque. Christmas Day was the only time I seen the beach busy even at that it wasn’t overcrowded just Portuguese people with all their kids. Overall, highly recommend if you want somewhere peaceful to go.

Amazing food, stunning view! We had sea bass, salad, shrimp, and clams—everything was fresh and delicious. Beautiful view, great service, and top quality all around. We had a fantastic time and will definitely return!

The fish is of outstanding quality – truly excellent. Ordering fresh directly from the counter comes at a high price per person, but the quality is undeniable. There are also dishes available from the menu, which are slightly more expensive than elsewhere. However, overall the food feels overpriced. For example, a tiny plate of vegetables costs €4 and only includes a few strips of beans and carrot, while three small potatoes are charged at the same price. Regardless of the view, such inflated prices cannot be justified for very basic ingredients. Thats a big joke.. That said, the location right by the beach and the beautiful view are definite highlights of the experience.

Magic place, magic people, magic fish 🎣 dishes!! Situated right on the Atlantic Ocean the atmosphere is just right and you’ll get awesome service and great food 🍲

Fantastic spot and lovely staff. Choose the fresh fish instead of salmon or tuna.

We couldn't have asked for a nicer spot to celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary. Beautiful location, engaging staff, topped off with the best fish dinner (ocean perch), that we've ever had. A hidden gem 👏👏

This restaurant is all about the setting. We sat by a window, eating nice food and drinking decent wine with the sea lapping below us. The service was efficient and friendly. Theres a decent selection on the menu although it’s definitely a fish restaurant. Our only complaint was that they sold us a dream of an amazing piece of fish for three, and it was probably only just enough for two in reality. That said - the food was beautifully prepared and presented. I played safe and had soup for a starter, and regretted it. Nothing wrong with the soup but the prawns looked amazing and my friends didn’t try to dissuade me that i should have been more adventurous.

Wonderful! Great seevice, great food. A lovely place to eat, drink & unwind.

Just off the main strip away from the loud restaurants and people standing outside trying to get tourists inside, was this place. Overall it’s a small joint and a very quiet atmosphere. The prices were all very reasonable as well as the portion sizes. All the food was great and the steaks were cooked perfectly. Would highly recommend a visit if you’re in the area. Definitely better than some of the other tourist trap steakhouses near by.

Fabulous fillet steak with garlic prawns and a peppercorn sauce on the side. Big fillet cooked medium rare, which melted like butter in the mouth. Loads of fresh prawns also. Rustic and basic small restaurant, but don't be put off, the standard of produce and chefs ability made this a memorable meal. Excellent price also, in England this would have been £45 plus! We will be back this week for sure.

Doesn't look like much from the outside but this is a gem! Such good quality meat and cooked to perfection. Chips were lovely too. Definitely recommend.

This is a hidden gem. Best steak I've ever had. Top quality food 👌 mouth watering to be exact. Family run. Top quality service. It's worth every cent the price. Can see food being cooked by the grandfather of family. As you can see from pics, I demolished my food.

Beautiful steak. Probably the best we had in albuferia. T bone steak was beautiful, great flavour and quite tender. Partner had fillet, very tender nice flavour. Onion rings were homemade and very nice. Paired with red wine sangria, a great meal overall. Highly recommended

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ For true meat lovers, this place is a top spot! The meat is delicious, and the homemade sauces make every dish extra special. The staff is friendly, and despite being a small team, everything runs smoothly and professionally. We’ve been here twice already and were pleasantly surprised each time. The only downside: there was no “special sauce” or bacon for the XL burger — that would have made it perfect. The waiter also looked remarkably like Timothée Chalamet — a fun little bonus to the whole experience! We’ll definitely be coming back!

The food was fantastic, steak was cooked to perfection. Not to exaggerate but I've never had a side of onion rings as good as those, in any restaurant. Staff were friendly, service great and food was served quickly.

Ate here in March for an evening meal with the Mrs’. Was fairly quiet due to it being off season, however, the food was amazing. I cannot express how good all of the steaks were. Perfectly cooked and the staff were wonderful. Would recommend trying the Wagu Beef, although a bit pricey it is well worth it. Please note, if the steak is priced per KG I recommend you ask what size cuts they have before you order. They had a side table for the main table which helps with the extra food we ordered and the wine and water. The dessert was something else as well. A pistachio Mille-feuille. Highly recommend this. All our steaks were cooked medium. To make the whole experience perfect, the staff were truly amazing. Thank you. We will 100% come back the next time we are in Portugal.

We had a wonderful meal here at Manzo! I want to highlight the service from the staff, it was incredible! We came with a small baby and we were well-received and taken care of. We are used to high quality meat where we are from, and we always are a bit skeptical of meat restaurants. I can genuinely say that this place delivers! The new 400g wagyu ribeye from Uruguay had a perfect texture and flavor. Would highly recommend it (medium rare).

Amazing ! Fantastic service and the best steak I have ever eaten. Starters also very tasty. Was to full for dessert. The staff here are super without being over bearing

Great little spot! The food and wine were excellent. We shared the chateaubriand, baby potatoes, grilled vegetables and a bottle of wine. Portions were great, veggies were delicious. We got 2 sauces for the steak which were both tasty. The staff is very attentive, although at times they would top up the wine glasses with a splash of wine which seems unnecessary. Everything was clean and the chairs are very comfortable!

Starter was 5 out of 5 - Wagyu spring rolls off the special board and tiger prawns between two of us The service was generally very good, but they let themselves down a bit in two ways: firstly the other waiting staff were heckling our waiter when he was trying to explain the different steak options. Secondly, they didn’t really explain the different cooking options for different cuts, it was all ‘medium rare’ for everything. We went for Australian wagyu chuck roll steak. It was a bit tough, not outrageously tough, but less tender than I would expect for the money. Asked for it medium and it came medium TBF. Tasted great and the grill leaves a fantastic finish on the outside of the steak. The sides were very nice and cheap, but on the small side, so would recommend at least 5 sides between 2 people. Overall, I feel a little harsh giving only 3/5 but in context, this is a steak restaurant. The price of the steak itself is on par with higher end restaurants in London, so expected much more in terms of quality of end product. I should note at this point, that they had great knowledge of the various meats they sold who ch were all fantastic quality rare, but I had to prompt them to talk about cooking them, which is not a great sign. This place could very easily go from 3/5 to 5/5 with a few tweaks to the cooking of the steak. Take a note from the South American restaurant franchises: all steak from rare to well done, should be cooked in a way that it can be cut with a table knife. I feel I should also reiterate, if this was a ‘normal’ restaurant, not a steak specialist, I would rate it 4/5.

Steak fantastic, sides fantastic, dessert fantastic and service fantastic. Best meal I’ve had here in Portugal I would highly recommend! It’s been a long time since I’ve walked away from a meal feeling this satisfied.

Excellent restaurant! We were 2 adults 2 children and they made us very welcome. Food was exceptional. This is an expensive restaurant but worth it in our opinion as a holiday treat! The service was great really friendly. It would be great to see a children’s steak as we had to order the fillet for our 8yr old as no steak on the kids menu. But honestly the food was fab and enjoyed by us all! Thank you.

In general food here was delicious. Creamy garlic prawns with monkfish was very delicate, full of taste and perfectly made. Duck was soft and medium rare. Only garlic cream soup was little bit too ‘fishy’ for me. It’s hidden in a small cosy street away for the party, but still in centre :)

The Staar is a hidden gem. The food is out of this world. I had the tomahawk and it was by far the best I’ve ever had. We ate here twice during our 10 night stay and I honestly wanted to visit more to try the rest of the menu. We were a party of six and everyone felt the same as me. This was the best restaurant we visited. Thank you to all your staff who made our visit’s so special.

Expensive, but worth every penny. Upscale gastronomy and you still get your fill. No frills. Probably the best tuna tartare of my life and great local cuisine with bacalhau à bras and tender steak. An insider tip in a small alleyway without the tourist crowds one street over.

A hidden gem! We had a fantastic meal here, nicely tucked away, great atmosphere, the staff were brilliant. We didn’t book but were lucky to get the last table so would recommend booking in advance as it was very popular

This was my favorite restaurant in all Albufeira. The food was amazing, all my friends enjoyed their main dish very much and we all agreed that the Chocolate Martini desert is a must-try. We made a reservation online and didn’t have to wait.

This is the Staar of albufeira restaurants. Tasty modern interpretations of local food, perfect prepared and arranged. Service is nice and personal. Good value for money judging on quality and price. Perfect for me

This was honestly an amazing find. The food was delicious, the staff were friendly and inviting and everything was unbelievably well priced. 10/10.

I loved this place. Such a chilled out beach, when we went it was at 19° c in the water, which is really nice compared to cascais. Both times we were able to go in the water fine and the waves weren’t that aggressive. We also went to that little bar in the picture, price was fairly accessible and the beers were freezing.

The beach is absolutely beautiful, with stunning views of the cliffs. There’s plenty of space, so you won’t have any trouble finding a quiet spot to relax. For me, it’s the perfect place to unwind and soak up the sun. You can also watch surfers riding the waves, which adds to the lively yet peaceful vibe of the place. It’s definitely a spot worth visiting if you’re looking to enjoy some time by the sea in a serene, picturesque setting.

This beach is my favourite I've ever been too. The red cliffs are beautiful. There are lovely surrounding attractions in the evening. Have made many memories here growing up, it will always be a special place for me

Beautiful beach with calm seas. Beach chairs available to rent, but most all were sold out where we were. The further away from the beach chairs the crowd lessens dramatically. It is a long beach about 6km long. There are many access points. We ubered to strandbar alfamar .It got us close then walked along the trails to the beach.

Very beautiful and spacious beach with a stunning backdrop – lots of impressive rock formations. Of course, it gets much busier during high season, but because it’s so wide and open, there’s still plenty of space for everyone.

Beautiful red rock beach with stunning rock formation. A must-see beach if you’re in Algarve. The beach is super beautiful and sandy. For sun bed, the price is also not pricy, we paid around 10€ per bed for the whole day. For activity, I’d recommend bringing paddle set to play on the beach. There’s also a beach bar where you can get some snacks and drinks. But for snacks, I’d recommend bringing your own for better price.

Impressive views! If you put Bar Falesia in the map you have easy access by car and snack bar with amazing views.

A perfect Algarve summer spot! ☀️ Praia da Rocha Baixinha is exactly what you dream of for a beach day — soft golden sand, clear waters, and a lively summer vibe. Even in peak season, the atmosphere is relaxed and full of energy. Absolutely one of the must-visit beaches in the Algarve!

From the very first glance, Praia da Rocha Baixinha feels like an open invitation to peace. A long ribbon of soft golden sand, gentle waves touching your feet, and a horizon that seems to stretch endlessly — it’s the kind of place where time slows down and the world feels wide again.

Beautiful beach with gorgeous fine sand. Quality Sunbeds to hire 25 euros for a day. Plenty of Lovely eateries, pubs and shops just a short walk to marina. Lovely place to visit.

Most beautiful beach around Quarteira. Soft sand, not so super crowded even in August and the water really enjoyable ☀️

Beautiful sandy beach with great rock cliffs...very clean

Very nice beach. Really spacious, great sand and nice and clean water.

Amazing place long sandy beach and another side are red and yellow rocks. It's around 12km for walking along the beach. Good for hiking and walkable on the top of the rocks and by the ocean. Amazing views.

One of the most beautiful beaches i have ever been. If you're in Algarve region this is a Must location for mind and soul.

The beach itself is great, the sand is soft for the most part and it's easy to get into. The water is cold, as it's the Atlantic ocean. The waves can be high and the current can be strong, so watch out. The main 2 issues we encountered were: 1- Even though we went during a weekday and arrived early, all the sunbeds were occupied or reserved, there were plenty of sunbeds that were reserved. 2- Would be nice to be able to get drinks/food and possibly service on the beach, there is 1 resort that is doing that, but only for its customers.

Amazing sandy beach! You have everything you may need here: parking (the road is not asphalted), a restaurant/bar, toilettes, sun beds&umbrellas (20 EUR in Oct. 2024) and a gorgeous view of the red coastal steep rocks with beautiful pines on top! The perfect Algarvian landscape! 🫶❤️

The great thing about this beach were the puddles filled with anemones, tiny fish, shrimp and crabs that were speckled on the rocks on low tide. That is all gone. Now it’s just an ok beach. Hard to get to, not that much sand width and a little to steep to get into. Used to be great.

My favourite beach in the area. Moving away from the crowded area at the entrance there was plenty of space to feel peaceful vibes. Toilet facilities are very good, cleaned and refreshed regularly. Continue walking past the wooden steps on the left as you leave and you can walk up the albeit step road out instead, it's much easier on the legs after a day of swimming and lying in the heat. There are not many parking places however when something is carved right out of nature consider it a blessing there are any spaces at all. Compared to Olhos De Agua beach waves are tiny✌️💚🌞

Stunning beach. It’s accessible by foot or you can drive down by car with good parking which is free of charge. There are a couple of restaurants down there. The because have beautiful cliffs with stunning colours of red and white. It’s very picturesque. We visited in April and there weren’t many people down there. It’s great for long walks especially in the morning and early evening. Highly recommended.

Amazing beach with stunning cliff, you can arrive by car and parking near the stairs for arrive at the beach. With bus it could be a little bit more complex but if you like walking it could be also great! There is a small bar before the beach on the top of the cliff and also the possibility to rent a sun umbrella, but if you are more adventurous and prefer more privacy I advice to have a little walk on the sand and you can get a blue water and stunning view.

Excellent food. Excellent service. First time we've been here and absolutely loved it. All staff were friendly and professional, but I must give a shout out to Bruno who looked after us the most. Such a gent. Brilliant at his job. Seriously, food is amazing.

Amazing meal with the family during our holiday. We stumbled across this beautiful authentic restaurant on a walk from the hotel. It was around 7:30 and empty thought this looks nice. Within 30 mins the place was packed solid with people walking up all the time. Food was absolutely amazing and delicious. Portions were great way too much in some cases but honestly beautiful. The squid was perfect and the chicken kebab not only looked amazing but tasted even better. You eat with your eyes and this place looked and tasted beautiful. Super friendly staff and a wonderful atmosphere. Please if looking for a place to visit make sure this is on the list. You will be extremely happy with the recommendation. Oh and don’t skip desserts you will really regret this mistake if you do. All homemade and delicious See you again guys. 💙

Calheiros is a magnificent place to eat. A wide menu to suit all from fish to steak and pork to chicken. Mostly barbecued. Friendly staff and very reasonably priced. The first time we ate here was 1992 and believe me it’s never been anything other than fantastic.

What a great hidden gem! The food was so good that I had to leave a comment here. We tried the Algarve cataplana (seafood stew) and it didn’t disappoint. My husband doesn’t like seafood and he loved this dish. We also overheard a lot of guests talking and they were returned clients so it just speaks to how well liked this place is. We are in the area for about 4 nights and after trying other restaurants we know that this is the real deal and will return before our last day!

The favourite dinner of our stay so we had to return on our last night. A bit pricier than others but all the dishes we had were delicious and as for Cidalia serving us, exceptional. Front of house was friendly and welcoming too. We were a group of 8 that arrived the first time without a booking but were made to feel very welcome. We’re not big seafood eaters but really enjoyed the sea bass Algarve style and the garlic prawns. The steaks here, both on the board and Portuguese style were delicious. Everything was. A lovely evening

Excellent choice on the menu, great service with really pleasant staff, food was delicious and reasonably priced for what we had - fillet steak was delicious. Would definitely return.

Went twice and both times the food was very good. Decent choice and portion size. Staff were friendly. Go before 8pm to beat the queues!

A great sandy beach accessible by an escalator from one side and a lift and staircase from the other. It's very long, so you can walk down to quieter areas of the beach. The sea is a beautiful blue colour and very clean, but not ideal for bodyboarding as there aren't many waves.

We spent New Year’s Eve at Praia dos Pescadores for the incredible drone and fireworks show and wow, what an experience! Hundreds of drones lit up the sky in perfect sync with the music, followed by an amazing fireworks finale over the ocean. The atmosphere was magical, safe, and very family-friendly, even with thousands of people there. Everything felt well organized and relaxed. A few days later, the entire beach was spotless again, huge credit to the city for keeping it so clean. Truly a night to remember!

The splendor of nature! The beach is clean, with restrooms nearby. There are also sun loungers for rent and huge pieces of fabric to lie on. It's wonderful here any day for relaxation.

Nice beach in a central location. Public toilets available. Old town albufeira has plenty of bars, restaurants & shops.

Nice big beach so close to the old town lovely for a swim and great place to pop and get lunch or dinner after.

Enjoying a wonderful choice of coffee or ice cream while the kids are playing in the open. Family friendly spot and many more to offer from this place.

Beautiful white buildings and golden sand, love love love love love love love love love love love lovr love love love love lovr livr live loce love love love love this beach. I really luked it and the rocky cliffs formed the coastline that i really liked much love from me a person who went here and i luked it ok you should too

We thought we would try this restaurant as it had good reviews but it was disappointing. We ordered the pork chops and pork Portuguese style. The pork Portuguese style was flavourful but the pork chops were like leather, really thin and dry and almost impossible to cut into. Let the staff know and they swapped it for chicken breast which was cooked better but the waiter was clearly annoyed by this and it made it an uncomfortable environment. I personally wouldn't recommend this place.

First time in my life i left restaurant hungry. Absolutely disappointed with my lunch today... I had a sole fish and should come with potatoes and vegetables and guess what ? Yes I did get what I ordered but the amount of food..pea size vegetable ( one boiled broccoli, one cauliflower, half of carrots plus one bit of tomato, two potatoes - see pictures) for the price of fish that actually got lots of bones and there wasn't much meat... Service was really friendl. If you are on strickt diet yes you can be sure you won't eat much! After all day on the beach and swimming you need good amount of food for reasonable price.

The food here is simply amazing! Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The quality of the ingredients and the portion sizes were impressive. What makes it even better is the fair pricing. You get great value for the quality and portion sizes. A big thank you to the entire team for the excellent service and wonderful dining experience. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this place!

This restaurant is so good that I came here twice, good service, amazing food. The seafood was so fresh and delicious! Love it

We had a seafood Cataplana. It was okay, nothing to brag about and even quite salty. I’d rather try another restaurant if a Cataplana is what you’re looking for. Portion was decent for the price though!

Staff are super friendly and helpful. Food is generally good but a bit too salty. Caraplana got lots of seafood.

Nice central restaurant in the main town. Had the sardines and beer it was all good and reasonably priced!

The restaurant was full and I had to wait a bit, but the staff was very kind and the fresh fish was good. The view and the atmosphere is amazing 💯

We ate our lunch here almost every day during our week holiday. The food was really good - a notch above the average beach cafe - and the service was impeccable. I think it was probably the service that made us come back so often. The waiter was very friendly and helpful, and by the middle of the week had remembered our drinks order etc. Highly recommended.

We didn’t take a picture of the food because it was so good we ate it in one bite. We had some snacks: chicken wings, cheeseburger and fries. The sauces were really good too.Overall good experience.

The location is amazing, it's overlooking the beach. They have an indoor area and an outdoor terrace. The service was good despite the place being full. Obviously the place is touristy, hence the prices being higher. The food we had was average, but given the location, it actually was affordable. Cocktails/alcoholic drinks are expensive. Overall if you want to have a beer or a quick bite while you're at this beach, it's probably the best spot that you could go to, but keep in mind the things listed above.

We had a very disappointing experience here. The service was extremely poor, and it felt as if the staff were being selective in who they chose to serve well. We waited 40 minutes just to place our order, and then another 30 minutes to receive the check. Meanwhile, the table right next to us was served much more quickly and with far more attention. The food itself was average, nothing memorable or worth the long wait. Overall, we left feeling frustrated and unwelcome. Definitely not a place I would recommend.

A little expensive but really good food and a great view right on the beach

Beautiful views. When visited first time we were impressed and decided to visit again next day. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the quality of service on that day as staff was rude and ignored some of the customers, including our group of 6 people.

Duarte: A Hidden Gem Serving Authentic Portuguese Flavours Discovering Duarte was a true delight! This authentic Portuguese restaurant is a true hidden gem that not only serves delicious food but also provides warm, attentive service that makes you feel right at home. The Duarte team looked after us from the moment we arrived. The service was genuine, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable; they were happy to walk us through the menu and make recommendations. The food? Absolutely outstanding. The freshly baked pastéis de nata were the ideal finishing touch, and the rich and filling caldo verde and the expertly grilled bacalhau (salt cod) were all bursting with flavour and authenticity. Every plate is evidently centred around traditional techniques and high-quality ingredients. Whether you’re already a fan of Portuguese cuisine or discovering it for the first time, Duarte is a must-visit. It’s rare to find a place that nails both the food and the experience so well. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Overall a decent place for food at a reasonable price. Chicken skewer for me and my wife had lamb chops, of which there were several. I thoroughly enjoyed mine, while hers was fairly salty. Also seemed ver busy and took a while to be served but all decent enough.

Food & Service is 5 stars. Including the Gordon's Gin 🍋 👌👏

We planned to go to a different restaurant but it was closed so ended up trying out this one. We immediately got a seat as it wasn’t busy. We ordered a sangria spumante and the monk fish cataplana. The sangria tasted a bit artificial but still very good. The monk fish cataplana was delicious. By the time we left there was no seat left. We heard a lot of portugese which is always a good sign. We would definitely eat there again!

So we spent a week eating out in the area. Unfortunately for us we found this on our last day. The service was brilliant and food very good. We are fussy eaters too. Let's finish this off by saying that when we were there we recognised owners or employees of other establishments eating there! Don't waste your time looking around. My only regret is that we didn't visit sooner.

Turned up without a reservation on the first night of our holiday and were easily accommodated by the staff, and a lively atmosphere and great food made a lovely family meal. The cod fillet was generous and delicious, and the grilled sea bass was amazing

It is not easy to find vegetarian food in the Algarve, beyond pizza and pasta. So I really appreciated the veggie version of Cabidela that was served at this restaurant. It was delicious and creative.... and a very generous portion!!! Thank you ❤

This bar is very cool, upon passing by it the first time I looked up the history of the hand collected shells and decided to go the next day for a drink. Wow what a beautiful and unique bar! The bartenders were skilled and made me a delicious ginja sour. I do find that the TV and bar merchandise such as tshirts and magnets ruin the “vibe” a bit but still worth it to pop in for a drink. Thank you for the hospitality ❤️

We were staying just up the street from here and visited quite a few times. Family run and the guys were great. Really friendly and a good laugh. That’s why you go back to these places. The decor is stunning and was all done by them. It’s not a big place but has a great atmosphere in the evenings, great place for a cocktail. Would go back again.

From the moment I walked in, I felt completely at home. This bar is not only beautiful in design but also in spirit. The atmosphere is warm, stylish, and full of soul — a true hidden gem. What really sets it apart, though, are the incredible people behind it. The staff are genuinely kind, attentive, and you can tell it’s a proud family-run business with a heartfelt story. There’s something truly special about this place — it’s unique, full of charm, and easily the best bar in town. I had such a great time that I’m already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an unforgettable evening!

Great atmosphere and vibe. Great music mix and lovely staff who are always welcoming. Highly recommend a visit 🍷

Incredible bar, breathtaking, super friendly staff great prices and yummy cocktails

A wonderful little pub tucked away from the main streets of old town. The interior is made up of vintage items and traditional fishing town decor including hundreds of seashells around the bar and ceiling and exterior. Super Bock is the main beer with lots of spirits. No food capabilities, drinks only. Outside seating available for the warmer months. Very pleasant device and average prices for old town.

Loved this place. The staff were friendly and welcoming. They have a wide variety of spirits, wine and cocktails and superbock beer. It's the first bar I have been to that has given us some peanuts to go with our drinks. It must have taken them a long time to decorate this place with all the sea shells it has on the walls and ceiling. You have to pay this amazing bar a visit

The sushi was incredibly fresh, with each piece crafted beautifully and bursting with flavor. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed dinner. Friendly staff and quick service made the whole experience even better.

Really good sushi! We also ordered some starters, which were very tasty. The sushi selection is a bit limited and somewhat different from what we usually expect, but everything we tried was delicious. We arrived quite early, before 18:00, so we didn't have to wait; however, the place doesn’t have many seats, so it likely fills up quickly. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but considering the quality, it's still reasonable. Overall, a great dining experience worth trying.

Absolutely incredible food, great service too. A breath of fresh air not to have someone trying to entice you in, and then the food was exceptional. Sushi prepared so well, noodle dishes cooked and spiced to perfection!

So in my time of being over in Albufeira , Portugal we had eaten at a few spots and Tiger Sushi was hands down the best , we had eaten there twice my partner and I , i highly recommended going there as the food was absolutely gorgeous and the service was amazing too , we had even got testers before being seated which nowadays is uncommon for restaurants to do , we had got a a selection of items off the menu including california rolls (8pcs) , ebi rolls (8pcs) and a platter of sushi with a whopping 40 pieces of sushi so all together there was 56 pieces of sushi , i also found that the platter was easily shared between 2 people we had also got 2 cokes and 2 waters ,this cost us only 77 euros for the whole meal considering it would of easily fed 3 people , the staff was lovely even including the chefs all spoke and were very kind, if i was going back i would one hundred percent go back to tiger sushi and i recommend everyone else go there too

A little gem of a restaurant in an otherwise rowdy street and town. The sushi is absolutely delicious. We were tempted by the free samples outside and didn’t regret going in. We ordered the deep fried and flambé platter each. The flavours and textures were delicious! Staff are friendly and the food is served quickly. They really want to make sure you’re happy with your food. Highly recommended.

Amazing, fresh and tasty sushi! We shared the XL platter and a few other delights. Every single piece was so delicious. The owner was very warm & friendly and helped us choose from the menu. The restaurant is absolutely spotless, so clean and modern. Oh and the wine was very nice too.. sometimes it can be hit/miss in japanese or sushi restaurants. Highly recommend 👌

Warm, welcoming, friendly staff! Menu is on a tablet. All items on the menu have photos. The food arrives looking exactly as pictured! The service was fast and the food delicious!! The sushi was fresh! And, there was a wide variety of options for sushi, appetizers, noodle dishes, and even a kids menu. My drink filled the glass … well over the „pour line.“ The owner comes out to check each plate and customer. When she realized I liked ginger, I was immediately offered a second plate! I wish I could take them back home with me! Simply fabulous!!
