The menu looked mouthwatering but the food itself didn’t deliver. Croquettes were dry, crab waffle was more of a Bellini with brown crab meat only and chunks of cold tomato cores. Why? The anchovy was more of a fishy sardine, I would stick to good quality Ortiz in future. Philipe, our waiter was fantastic though and recommended a good wine which was the highlight of our non-meal. Ambience is usually good but we had screaming kids on next door table. For an 8.30pm booking that was unfortunate. I would like to return as the restaurant has so much potential but I think the chef needs to pay more attention to the quality of his ingredients.

Friends recommend Aurora to us and we will defiantly go back, Food, wine and service 10 out of 10. We both ordered off the à la carte menu, but there is an option to have a four or six course taste menu which can be prepared with wines. A gem of a resturant in the beautiful town of Loulé.
