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.

I returned to this restaurant having first encountered in back in 2016, and Im glad it still has its charm and only grown in delivering interesting,fresh, delicious 😋 food .
My waiter was attentive,helpful, and engaging. I had the monkfish,prawns, and class cooked in an amazing sauce,so I was glad I had ordered bread .It was well presented and delicious. I followed this with the cheese 🧀 board and nuts to accompany my wine. This was huge ,so it was packaged up and given to me to take away. The whole meal was 55E, which for one is not cheap, but the food,surroundings, and service added to the overall all experience
My one feedback would be that the waiting staff kept almost patrolling around the tables, which was not necessary and a little over attentive.

Very nice restaurant with a decent menu. Service was very quick but it was a cold night so not many people around. We enjoyed 1 gin and tonic and one beer, 4 tapas dishes and the bill was 100 euros. Way too expensive for the portions. What we had was very nice though

Visited this restaurant based on previous reviews and we were not disappointed.
We shared bread and a tuna pate to start. We then had teriyaki chicken x 1 and beef tacos x 2, with shared fries and mixed veg.
It was all very tasty with a couple of cocktails and beers it was 77 euros. We felt this was good value for the surroundings.
The staff were very attentive and great with advice on the menu.
If we were here longer we would revisit

We come to this restaurant for at least 3 years every time we stay in the Algarve.
This time the experience was horrible and we will not come back...
We had a very bad evening, first of all a huge table by our side screaming and making a din without name. A wobbly chair that could collapse at any moment. A horrible service experience, a different waiter at each dish or request, a waiter who spills a drink on my husband who does not apologize, who does not clean the table (we make it ourselves). Horrible dishes that have nothing to do with what was done before, croquettes still frozen inside, tasteless and pasty octopus, meat tacos soaking in water and tasteless, water said to be filtered that smells of chlorine and a ridiculous wine list compared to previous years. Half the dishes stay on the plate, they are not taken away by bringing the suites and we are not asked if everything goes well... we prefer to force the sale of dessert that we did not take so much we wanted to flee quickly. It’s a shame because it was a beautiful establishment...

We wanted somewhere just off of the marina as a bit of a change to our usual meals, alarm bells started ringing when the table next to us were asking where the rest of their food was after it had arrived. We decided against ordering mains as they were recommending 3 - 4 plates per person at €12+ which did not seem good value compared to a lot of the other tapas restaurants in Vilamoura. We opted for starters only to which the popadom was stale, there only seemed to be one member of staff serving so service was slow. There's much better tapas in Vilamoura to try before this place!

Best restaurant in many years! And then I include everything. We were two couples who ordered different Tapas (larger model) where the waiter had full control of when, who and what was to be served and at the right pace. In addition, the right wine was recommended for the food (mixed fish/meat) in a wise way. Don't miss this one if you're here!

The ambiance is nice, the staff does provide a good service and the food presentation is ok. However the menu is completely overpriced for the portion sizes served. 12€ for 2 pastéis and 28€ for a mini seafood cataplana or 5€ for a bread basket of 5 pieces is really not worthy. The cocktails are also super small, mostly filled with ice and overly expensive. Tried but not repeating it for sure

Myself and 7 friends visited here on Friday for our last meal of our trip. Wow, what a way to finish. Food was out of this world start to finish and our server was very kind and attentive. Being the organiser of the group, there’s always concern that you let the team down when it comes to meal choices but everyone was blown away! Would highly recommend to anyone in and around the area.

Great restaurant. Very modern setting - serving a broad variety of dishes - very well prepared and presented. Excellent service and cocktail listing too. The gin gin mule is really worth a try and their salmon bowl is simply delicious. We visit regularly and are never disappointed. Probably the most innovative and consistent restaurant in Vilamoura.

Our go to restaurant if we want excellent food, wine and service, and our visit on Sunday 14th May did not disappoint. We started our meal with Chicken and vegetable gyoza and Meat Croquette with dijon mustard emulsion - both delicious.
For our main, we normally order the tuna bowel which is a firm family favourite, but we have eaten so much fish since we arrived in Portugal we thought we would opt for a steak for our main course. As the kitchen is open to view, when we arrived we saw a few of the Entrecôte steaks being cooked. We were advised the Entrecôte which would be a slightly fatty steak and when the fat was rendered down during cooking it would hold all its flavour. The Entrecôte was amazing, full of flavour and it melted in the mouth. We had french fries and the mushroom risotto as a side with a glass of red wine. I would say Salmora is famous for its Apple Tart, served with a yogurt ice cream. A perfect way to finish our meal. Service as always was A1. The red wine came recommend and although i only ordered a glass, the bottle was left table side and was advised to help myself if i wanted more and i would only be charged for what i drank. A great touch.
Cant wait to revisit - We highly recommend this restaurant.

Good food and a lovely atmosphere. We hadn’t booked and luckily there was a table available. The staff were great but not intrusive. We liked the format of service where different food came out as it was ready - not an issue. We choose lots of different things and shared each dish as the evening went on

Our family of 4 visited in early August 2023. We chose about 8 tapas dishes. The waiter was knowledgeable and helped us to make our choices. The food was excellent although, if I’m to be a bit picky, the tiramisu was a bit too sweet and ‘biscuity’.
My only gripe is that the excellent service suddenly tailed off at the point when I wanted the bill and then, again, at the moment I wanted to pay.
Nonetheless, a really good restaurant.
Bill was 150 euro for tapas, two desserts, 2 cocktails, water. Wonderful value

Another nice evening, great food, good ambience, & attentive/helpful staff. Posh tapas for groups, so as a “solo” a bit difficult to know how much to eat (ask staff, always helpful). A few “new” items (octopus excellent), & right place if you like cocktails. Definitely revisit

One, if not the best restaurant of my life. Went here with my girlfriend one evening and had the chicken skewers, the salmon bowl, the risotto, the tiramisu and a bottle of wine for 70€ and it was just amazing. So good that we booked for the next day already when we came home.
Very quiet and aesthetic restaurant with a peaceful atmosphere. Would highly recommend to anybody that wants a very nice diner at very affordable prices. The staff as well are very helpful, respectful and friendly. Nothing more to say, 10/10.
(The pictures are from our second night there adding the Cod and the Eggplant)
