Another Restaurant that we visited in our week in Villamoura. Every one that we ate at had great food, excelent service and reasonable Prices. We had Bread & Olives to start, Main courses of Staek and Piri Piri Prawns and Coffee to finish. With a bottle of the (very acceptable) House Rose came to 62Euros.

We came across this restaurant by chance 18 months ago as it is not on the Marina Front, and since then everytime we travel to the Algarve we always make a point of going - even though we stay 20 minutes drive away from Vilamoura. We have now been 6-7 times and everytime we have had a fantastic meal, the... More

Away from the Marina biz this Portuguese restaurant is one to try. The Fish Cataplana is out of this world with excellent shellfish and fish in a fabulous sauce containing vegetables. Service was also very good with a young lady very attentive and helpful

Bear in mind we visited in January (albeit a warm January) but we found the rear room where our party was seated to be quite cold. The food was excellent, an interesting menu of mainly Portuguese favourites and the wines were also good.

Just back once more from our apartment in Vilamoura, tried this little gem for the first time. Very warm and friendly, my husband and I shared the seafood with rice for two and was great, our 16 year old son had garlic prawns and rice, great wine and deserts, will be back on our next visit.
