The food was well prepared and enjoyable, yet many of the dishes felt somewhat contrived in their effort to live up to Michelin expectations. Behind the polished presentation, there was little genuine innovation or culinary personality. Small Wine selection and a bit to much talk on them, before one got permission to just teast them.

Amazing performance pieces around presenting the food and wine. A great way to spend an evening. Inventive and tasty food. We had the vegetarian and the fish taster menu. Friendly and attentive staff who clearly enjoy their jobs.

The tasting menu was beyond what I could have expected. It clearly deserves its Michelin star. Every course was unique and delicious. Each course was linked to Portuguese culture, folklore and traditional ingredients. After the meal I felt ashamed to see the Fork discount applied. I would recommend Alameda to anyone seeking a true dining experience.

Truly excellent food. Real clarity of flavour. One of the best tasting menus we have had

We were looking forward to experiencing Alameda, it had many good reviews. It's a quaint restaurant and we received a warm welcome. However, from there, the service was disappointing - after finally ordering drinks, we had to actually get up and ask where they were after 20 minutes. The food is really good, but the options provided are very limited. 3 starters, all fish, 3 main courses2 fish, 1 duck and 2 desserts. I'm allergic to oranges - which we had informed them of, yet one of the main courses had orange and one of the desserts...... Worse, we were a 7PM booking, they only open at 7pm, yet when we ordered, 3 people wanted the duck and they only had 2 available - how can that be ? Does that mean for the rest of the night, everyone had 3 fish options for starters and 2 fish options for main course ? Oh - you can have water but dont ask for sodas - they don't do them.....The food is good, yet at the end of the evening the overall feeling is disappointment.

We 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.

It 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!

The 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…

With 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

We 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

Alameda is just so different to all the other restaurants. It's a very special night out with fabulous food.The service is top class.This was our 2nd trip to Alameda, just as delicious as the first.

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.

We 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.

The 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.
