8/10We didn’t choose for the menu, because 8 courses is just to much. The a la carte menu was simple but the food was realy delicious. Once the staff knew we didn’t order the menu they were less friendly. The tea we ordered was just hot water. Not enough tea in it and this for 18€ … a little biscuit or little chocolate with it would have been nice. If you don’t like it that people eat a la carte, make a big and a little (4 course) menu.

10/10It is one of my favourite restaurants on the planet. Every visit has been superb. The food is up there with the best, and the attention to detail, tending to telling a story through food, is fantastic. If you go, treat yourself to the wine pairing. — Again sublime.

We enjoyed our meal but were surprised to find the restaurant no longer offers any meat options? This is a shame as we are all carnivores. The dishes were delicious, especially the oysters and skate starters but we found the main courses too big, especially the monkfish which is already a very thick meaty fish and we felt did not need to be encased in pastry. Service was excellent as was the wine tasting!

10/10The staff was very attentive and helpful. Extremely relaxed but efficient atmosphere. The tasting menu relating to Algarvian legends is a wonderful concept and the cards with illustrations and the legends themselves was particularly charming. Such a pleasant evening!

Ingredients was good, the cooking was awful. Basically poured soysauce allover the oyster and called it ponzu…. Wine sucks too…when the price of a glass is more than a bottle somewhere else, i asked tor dry white wine and all I taste is acidity…

10/10With some very small adjustments to the menu and service, this place could easily get a michelin star. Coming from Copenhagen, this place is absolutely value for money.

I booked Sunday lunch. I was disappointed in the menu , ie there was no set lunch menu , it was the same menu as evening time.Its not my wish to have the tasting menu at lunch time,this is for evening time , the A La Cart menu had two options starter both fish and main course both fish and one dessert only , Coffee was not the best I have ever had not robust .I was the only person in the restaurant there was two persons on the patio . I requested hot water with lemon , it arrived with lime slices , when I finish this I had to request top up , There was two waiters lovely guys Albait didn't notice I needed top up of water. I requested some rice with my starter dish , they had none , in fairness they served me the most divine fish veg and rice dish complinatary nice touch . I guess it was from the tasting menu . I travel frequently,I always treat myself to a Michelin star establishment, sorry to report this was not at this level of care and attention

10/10We are normally no big fans of fish diners, but this restaurant absolutely does know what they are doing. Their culinary journey through the legends of the Algarve absolutely makes sense through their diner course. Their service was amazing and the vibe is nice and relaxed. Absolutely would recommend! 10/10

Having dinner at Alameda has literally all the ingredients of an exceptional story! The 8 surprises menu is well thought off, beautifully crafted, well proportioned and of great taste. An absolute recommendation!

Super nice discovery in Faro. Restaurant is focusing on products from the sea locally sourced. The service was fantastic and food was very interesting. The caviar was a bit too pricey. Probably could be already included in the price of the menu.Depending the dish it was a bit surprising. Especially one dessert of which was a mix between sweet and sour was not to my taste. I guess not too long that restaurant will earn its first Michelin star. Would recommend to anyone this restaurant if you are interested to test, enjoy a dinner/something unconventional.

10/10We had a show to watch and wanted to have a lovely meal as a couple to complete the date night. Every course we had tasted well, was presented and composed well. The chef is clearly professional. He also introduced twists to the amuse geuel and it worked. The restaurant was clean and the waiters were all courteous and well trained.

10/10The different dishes were simply delicious and told the legends perfectly. The flavors were delicate, full of nuances. My favorite dish: the octopus and the second dessert was divine. The sommelier’s recommendations were great. thank you for a memorable experience.

9/10A memorable dining experience! Everything was excellent from start to finish. The service was professional yet very warm, creating a welcoming atmosphere. I chose the 9-course tasting menu, which offered a delightful variety of refined flavors. While I found the portions a bit too generous for my taste, each dish was beautifully crafted. Highlights included the incredibly fresh raw shrimp and the white chocolate and almond dessert—a perfectly balanced, sweet finish to the meal. The selection of excellent wines was also a wonderful complement. In short, a must-visit for lovers of fine cuisine!

8/10We loved the service, the cocktail (they only serve one signature cocktail) was wonderful. We found the starters were amazing and standards set very high. There were a couple of dishes however we really didn’t enjoy, and that maybe down to our preferences, but for us the flavours and textures just didn’t work. Overall we had a fabulous evening and the team are truly excellent.

7.5/10Service impeccable. Creative chef, but monkfish had too much coriander, the cod and chicken could also be more tastefull. Not bad at all, but if you want your costumers to pay for a Michelin, the flavors should be accordingly

10/10Quite simply this is one of the best meals we've ever had. The innovative approach of the chef and the dedication to excellence for the food and service is clear. The quality of the food and winw was superb. It has one star at the moment, but it clearly deserves a second.

10/10We had an excellent experience, all the dishes tell a story of the territory, instead the tastes are carefully selected. Compliments to all the staff: in a few words, you are doing a professional job and with the heart! Thank you very much
