    Interesting menu, goats cheese starter was enough for 2 to share. I had the tagliatelle bolognese, and I have to say it was superb. Only criticism was it being served in a cold bowl, so by the time I was eating the pasta at the base of the bowl, it was cold. Just a pet hate of hot food served on cold plates, husband commented on the same thing.

    The chicken terrine was a bit dry and butter could have been served with the bread. The steak tartare was tasty, however, the cooked side vegetables was a strange combination with the raw meat… just a salad would have been better. Dessert was excellent. While waiters are friendly and welcoming, I felt they could be slightly more “formal” with the customers… Overall OK, but “Diplomático” was much better until it closed in terms of quality.

    What a gem in Quarteira, especially if you want a taste of French food. The "dish of the day" lunchtime menu is great value for money. We tried the French onion soup, black pork chops, John Dory (fried style) with vegetables and chips. All delicious. You can choose to add a dessert for only 2 euros and we tried the cheese platter and the orange creme brulee, both of which were yummy. The service was friendly and the restaurant is bright and breezy.

    Not a lot of choice on the menu, small portions and prices too high. However, the food is of good quality and well-prepared.

    La VillaOwner

    Our food is good quality, as you said, so this is why our prices come a little higher than other restaurants. Thank you for your feedback.

    This menu was fabulously French! Brilliantly presented quality food with superb service. Very reasonable wine selection. And typically French , the chef presenting herself for discussion on the jus for my duck. Perhaps the deserts were just slightly under the very high standards of the other courses. But oh boy! I will return here and very soon. Kevin Collins

    Even though this restaurant has “been around” for awhile … we have just discovered La Villa. It is a jewel in the restaurant scene. Authentic French bistro food. A classic but creative menu with all quality ingredients. All greens and vegetables are grown by the chef/owners. We have been for lunch and dinner … and look forward to returning on a regular basis.

    Of the two dishes we ordered , one was lamb and the other was duck. The duck was quite tough meat and felt like it was over cooked. The starters were very good and resonable wine list.

    La VillaOwner

    Hello, sir We are sorry, that the duck wasn’t for your liking next time if it’s too cocked or undercooked, you should call one of our employees and ask him to change it. But thank you for the remark we will more careful next time. We are grateful that you liked the starter and the wine. Thank you the staff of la villa.

    This restaurant had amazing service and food. A very special find ! The prawns were up there with one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The chef is fantastic and came to see if we were enjoying our meal and also came to say goodbye when we were leaving. Such a nice friendly atmosphere. Special thanks to our lovely waiter too.

    I guess a slightly odd location inside an urbanisation near Vilamoura, but worth tracking down. Basically French bistro food from French owners, and but excellent quality, charming service and an out and out bargain too.

    La vila is the place I return to everytime Im in Algarve. They serve high quality food every time, no matter year, month, day or hour. The qulity stays the same. The loveley family owned resturant brings the best of the best from France to Portugal. The service is impeccable and filled with warmth and joy. I love every bite of the food and leave with a smile and plan my next visit to la Vila.
