Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The staff are amazing and very accommodating and the food has always been first class. Not the first time I have been here as I was here for Christmas dinner 2018/19 and it was fantastic.
Always a pleasure to come here.

The worst meal I’ve ever had in Portugal service was excellent but the food dire really really unhappy at the quality and severely lacking in everything
Brown turkey wedges and carrots all cold and served in soup plates
The decor on table was Christmas tree bits covered in ants
I came home and was absolutely starving not at all what I expected really really unhappy!

Ok ,this is a business that struggling and its beginning to show.
We had issues trying to communicate and eventually booked through the Fork.
When we arrived at 8.15 the place was deserted. We found the bar which the pool man was looking after. We sat on a wonderful terrace overlooking the pool and the sea. There was some really mellow tunes playing on the terrace excellent.
Some body came in to watch the football so they switched to live commentry which engulfed the terrace. We moved away from the speakers. We then realised all the tables were dirty and as I say the place was empty.
We went for dinner and we were the only people in. Nice setting ,the menu is limited and when we ordered some dishes weren't available which is always disappointing. We were told as we were eating our starters that it was cash only !!!
The toilets hadn't been cleaned, The waiter was dressed in shorts and a t shirt.
Poor standards. The food was good , nice flavours and presentation. The most expensive meal we had in 9 days and I really don't mind paying when its worth it unfortunately what the management are trying to achieve hasn't happened and they have lost interest. Shame.

Booked it based on other reviews and when we went in it was extremely quiet.
However, the food and the service we received was superb - it was fresh and tasty and the depth of flavor was great. Really enjoyed the food.
It was not cheap but the cooking and flavors to me justified the difference between other cheaper places we had been to.

small but good menue with a wide choice of fish and seafood but also options for vegetarians. We had the tuna and tiger prawns for starters and red snapper and steak as main course - everything very delicious.

Went here when staying in portugal. The food was amazing. I had the tuna tartare and then the red snapper with masses of clam risotto which was amazing. The bottle of wine we had was lovely as well and at 17 euros very good value. Would definitely recommend.

My partner and I were out for our first local lunch here in the Algarve.
Booked through The Fork app we found this charming hotel restaurant on the w3tern side of Albufeira.
It felt like we were in pre season as the hotel swimming pool in front of us was quiet.
Beyond that the view was of a tranquil ocean. I settled in with a lunchtime
SuperBock
We ordered from the menu which was in 4 languages , I guess.
It wasn’t extensive , which to me is a good sign. Less is more and here they do it very well.
The croquettes as a starter were enough for 2 of us , although that wasn’t the plan.
I shared my dish reluctantly.
I held on to my beer and also the fabulous view - I realise now where Vista comes from.
And by the sea.
We had two fish main’s which were well apportioned and clearly had just been prepared in the kitchen , the red snapper came on a mountain of risotto, and the cod loin basked in a broth of chorizo and haricot beans. Both delicious .
The staff were attentive and friendly.
I usually don’t feel drawn to write reviews but my experience at Vista , a restaurant that not many would find easily, given its location, tells me that I need to let others know about it.
Go.

Have just spent 7 nights half board at Villas d'Agua, Olhos d'Agua with my daughter. We knew there was a restaurant on site and that it wasn't a buffet type. But, what a surprise and a delight it has been!
Apart from the lovely feel to the restaurant and great views over the hotel pool and the sea, the food and service has been excellent. There was a great, filling breakfast to start the day which included yogurt with granola and honey, bacon, eggs, fresh rolls and croissants with butter and preserves and fresh fruit, There was also the option to add to the cooked breakfast and include sausage, mushrooms and tomatoes if you could fit it all in!
As we were staying half board we were able to choose what we wanted to eat for our evening meal rather than from the menu (which is excellent ,by the way). The chef only wanted to know if you preferred meat, fish or pasta, asked if there was any that you disliked, and then would prepare something amazing. We particularly enjoyed the fish dishes that we had and I had a rather delicious mushroom risotto with chicken. For dessert I really enjoyed the lemon tart.
We really couldn't fault anything about Vista and would definitely recommend eating here, Goncalo Bota and his staff are very friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

Lovely cosy restaurant
A bit empty when visited, it was my birthday had to leave to a more lively restaurant.
Good discount and food was good, though the menu didn’t have a wide variety to my taste.
If you love Shrimps...you won’t be disappointed

Given the positive reviews, I booked using The Fork(for 30% off)
We did arrive about a little early at 12.30, No one was around and we went inside and after about 2 minutes someone came out of the kitchen and then seated us and gave us menus, After about 5 minutes of waiting we had to go find someone again so we could order drinks, then about another 10/12 minutes before they came, then another long wait before they took the food order,
When we did eventually get the food we ordered it was nice but certainly nothing special.
I would not visit here again, even with the discount.

When I was looking at the menu it looked very simple and easy to read. They food is anything but simple. My meal was tasty and unique in a sense that the chef recommended something he could add (an egg please see picture below) and it was definitely worth listening to. I felt like I was the only person in the restaurant even though it was busy. That is how this place makes you feel, so special. There is a lot of bars around so when it came to ordering a drink I wanted something different and again that is what I got. The bar staff have a bundle of knowledge when it comes to making a cocktail that caters for you. Just like how the chef made me feel like nothing was any trouble and could recommend anything and add. All the staff have great local knowledge and when I asked they told me everything was fresh and local and it sure did taste that way. The waiter and waitress are very approachable and have a great communication skills (something I worried about before my trip). Michelin star food at a fair price with a beautiful setting. If relaxing and having a decent meal is your idea of a perfect holiday then you will be in the right place. I can’t recommend this place enough and will love to come back and tell anyone I know visiting in the area to visit.
