By far the highlight of our restaurant tries in portimao! impeccable service, attention to detail and a special evening not to forget. We did the 8 moments tasting paired with wine tasting. Totally worth it!

NUMA is a magnificent restaurant in the Algarve. The 8-course tasting menu showcases a perfect harmony of local products and contemporary cuisine. The octopus dish stands out in particular: tender, multi-layered in flavor, and perfectly balanced. Calm atmosphere and impeccable service. Highly recommended. Rating: 5/5.

From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive, and each interaction felt personal and thoughtful. The staff exhibited an exceptional level of attention to detail, ensuring every aspect of our meal was seamless. The fish dishes were outstanding, prepared with precision and creativity, showcasing the freshness and quality of the ingredients. Each plate was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. A special mention goes to the wine experience—expertly curated and paired, it elevated the entire meal. The sommelier was knowledgeable and passionate, guiding us through a journey that perfectly complemented the cuisine. Every bite, every sip, and every moment was a celebration of culinary excellence. A truly unforgettable experience that lives up to its Michelin distinction.

The food and the staff were all awesome. The tasting menu was interesting and creative-both in the food and the presentation. We had the smaller of the 2 tasting options (8 items) and we were both well satiated by the end. Highly recommended

As you walk into Numa, you know you are going to have a unique experience. The staff, ambience, setting are all excellent. So well looked after, food was described, wine was offered, the sommelier is particularly worth a mention. The server was attentive and appreciated feedback. the food was sublime, the octopus, tartare and the chocolate dessert deserve a special mention.We cannot wait to return!!

We wanted to try their signature dishes but were attracted to the Tasting menu. The 10 course is definitely too much for us so we chose the 8 course. Everything was well presented, decent and fresh. The Ray is not an easy find and we were very pleased. The bread is the best we’ve had in Portugal. Overall, a very good choice of Portuguese cuisine for a moderate price.

The best dining experience my husband and I have had in the Algarve region in 6 days. A much better choice than the other Michelin rated restaurant in the area, which left much to be desired. The food at Numa was perfection and the service too. The chef/owner actually took the time to greet us and personally guarantee he could make changes to any dish based on food allergies. Fresh ingredients through and through. We ordered a la carte. Hope to be back when next in town.

The ambiance at Numa is excellent—stylish, welcoming, and with great attention to detail. The service was also warm and professional throughout the evening. However, we found the food to be rather uninspired and, given the high ratings, somewhat disappointing. While everything was well presented, the dishes lacked creativity and depth in flavor. Overall, a beautiful setting and good service, but the culinary experience did not quite live up to expectations.

I’ve never been in a restaurant where every single dish (except the homemade bread) was such a disappointment. Every composition of ingredients seemed to work against each other to ensure an absolute lack of success. This is a difficult review to write because the service was attentive and kind. The “amuse bouche” of mussle cream tasted like cat food. The mushroom gnocchi starter was beyond bland and the algarve shrimp starter tasted like a carpaccio left out all day on the counter. The duck confit was greasy and skin was improperly crisped. Even the ribeye managed to be devoid of flavor as served with dried out scalloped potatoes. The two desserts we tried were a molecular interpretation of orange pudding (hard pass) and a reasonable interpretation of portuguese french toast. Honestly, we follow the guide and eat at recommended and “starred”restaurants all over the world because we spend most of our time traveling now. We have never had a worse meal served by nicer staff.

One of the many times we’ve been here! But this evening was different because it featured a set menu with wine pairings for each course. As always, the dishes were refined and made with seasonal ingredients. A special dessert was served in honor of International Women’s Day and the restaurant’s second Michelin recommendation! We always return with great pleasure, and despite the elegance and sophistication, we always feel right at home!

Each dish was meticulously presented and delicious. The ten course tasting menu was exactly portioned so we both enjoyed the two desert dishes. A friendly comfortable atmosphere . Chef Numa is focused on ensuring you have an exceptional meal focused on local tasting dishes that bring out the best of Portuguese cuisine. If you are in the Algarve take the time to come by.
