    Been to Portugal 3 times in the last 10 months and absolutely love this restaurant, so much so we came from Vilamoura this time to eat here. Food incredible as always and the owner and staff are brilliant 👏 👌 😀

    This is our second visit this year after finding Os Arcos last year. The welcome and the food has not changed and is still the best we have been to in Albufeira. There is a large menu to choose from and they are willing to change up any sides that you prefer. Also the price is amazing for the quality of food served.

    The food was good. The grilled fish was rather oily.The sauce with calamari was very acidy.

    We really enjoyed our dinner. All 5 of us had different meals and everyone was impressed. Our waiter gave us excellent wine and food recommendations. It was a truly authentic experience that was enjoyed by all of us. The restaurant offers a large menu.

    The service was good and attentive. Unfortunately, the quality of the food was not good. The meat was of poor quality, overcooked, and a very small portion for the price. We had a starter and main course, but in the end we left hungry despite the rather high price. It's a shame; for me, it was more like a tourist rip-off.

    Amazing food and service. Restaurant is a bit rundown but it gives it a local/ authentic feel too; not touristy at all.

    One of the finest places we have visited in Portugal. The food was authentic and the staff were friendly. No wonder these guys are highly recommended and always booked.

    Wonderful evening- I was solo and was treated like a king, excellent service from the beginning until the end. Tuna Pate was exquisite Calamari- delicious with an incredible sauce in the side Octopus for the main, I’ve never had a more tender experience Wine pairing was perfect Perfectly ‘off’ the tourist drag, exactly what I was looking for,

    Very friendly staff. Authentic feel with nice atmosphere, despite being surrounded by Irish bars. Food well prepared & tasty, although one of our group felt their Portuguese sausage starter, cooked over flame, was a little too charred. On our shortlist for a return visit.

    Good Services combined with great food. Not easy for a restaurant when two adults appearing with 6 kids, aged from 5 to 9. All kids got full attention from the , I guess it was the owner, of the restaurant. We ordered no spaghetti to eat , that’s the favourite of the kids. They all got what the menu is offering . So - no special kids no menu . Recommend place to stay
