One of the greatest food experiences ever! After our last night Portimao dinner in Safari Restaurante (which was fifth all together) I've got a headline for them "Safari: a reason to visit Algarve". Seriously - all perfect. Fantastic food, authentic atmosphere, professional and friendly service (they even counted how many times we've visited them), affordable prices. Oh, and the fantastic...

Still excellent after all this time. We were a bit worried as we havent been to this restaurant for a long time 13 years and wondered if we were doing the right thing going back, but we were not dissapointed. This was a highlight of our holiday, the food and service were excellent the view is still fantastic, so well... More

Visited Safari Restaurant twice on our recent visit to Pria Da Rocha, the restaurant is well furnished with the Safari theme and the outside eating area the views are to die for. I did eat traditional with fish soup and piri piri chicken which I would recommend. Wine and service great. Would highly reccommend. Worth a visit. More

We walked from our hotel da Rocha. Great views, excellent local red wine, magic garlic prawns and fresh fish. We returned two nights later for a Specially prepared Feijuada, a local dish that takes quite a time to prepare, but is not on the menu. More

We love to have a sea view for dinner and at the Safari you can sit on the terras at the back. From here you have a view over the beach and the sea, but also on some old buildings with grafity on it. They told us its the oldest restaurant in Prai da Rocha, established in 1976. The personel... More

We had a very pleasant meal of grilled fish and lamb curry overlooking the beach. A great bottle of local white wine and the avocado and shrimp appetizer. Fresh strawberries for dessert were great. Very reasonable prices compared to the resorts. More

It's so rare to find a gem like this one, with a Gorgeous beach view and good value, too. We had a lovely chat with the owner who was lunching at the next table with his family, and he recommended the excellent fresh cheese and tuna pâté. We followed the trip advisor advice and ordered all the traditional dishes, and... More

Whilst very quiet for the time of the year the quality of food and service could not be faulted. Its position means that it would make an ideal location for lunch More
