    main course was well presented although not hot and salmon was a bit too rare for me However I enjoyed the meal as a whole and the service was attentive and courteous

    Palacete

    Thank you for your feedback, Ron. We are surprised by your comment, as during your visit you finished your entire meal and, when asked directly, told us everything was wonderful and that you would definitely return. We value honesty and transparency, so your words here do not reflect what you expressed in person. Nonetheless, we are glad you appreciated the service and presentation, and we remain committed to welcoming you again with the same care and attention.

    Absolutely perfect. Excellent food and a service with a smile. The youngest waitress was a gem. I was neutral when I arrived, but left with a smile on my face.

    Overall very good. There was a long wait because it was a holiday but I think that would be rare. My steak was more rare than medium but the sauce was delicious. The sea bream was a whole fish and pretty substantial.

    Palacete

    Thank you very much, Erin! 😊 We’re glad to know you enjoyed your dinner with us, from the sauce to the freshness of the sea bream. We apologize for the longer wait time, as you mentioned, the holiday evening made it exceptional, but we always aim to be as efficient as possible. Your feedback on the steak point is also important and has been passed on to the kitchen so we can ensure it better matches each guest’s request. It was a pleasure welcoming you to the Palacete and we look forward to seeing you again soon! 🌿🍷

    5.0

    The food was ok, but not unforgettable. We got an "espacialidad" and a couple of starters. Total time spent in the restaurant 3 hours, way too much. The waiting time between each dish was really long. Even the price maybe too expensive.

    Palacete

    Thank you for your feedback, Lorenzo. We’re sorry that the experience did not fully meet your expectations. Due to the high demand on that day, waiting times were longer than usual, and this was explained upon arrival. We always aim to be transparent and to make the experience as pleasant as possible despite such circumstances. We truly appreciate your visit and would love to welcome you again, on a quieter day, so you can enjoy our food and service at their best. 😊

    Great tasting real autentic Portuguese food at fair pricing. We had delicious seafood, meat and pasta - all top quality. Also don't miss out on their dessert - Chocolate mousse is fabulous and their Pear in white wine amazing. Don't miss this restaurant when in Albufeira!

    Palacete

    Hi Jesper, Thank you for the wonderful review. It was a pleasure having you at Palacete, and we’re thrilled the seafood, meat, pasta—and of course the chocolate mousse and pear in white wine—made the evening special.

    We traveled during 3 weeks around the Algarve but this restaurant was absolutely the best food, kindness and service we had!! We enjoyed everything, great dishes, real Portugese cuisine, good wine and coffee, all for a very reasonable price. Definitely we will be back in november!!

    Our first visit was on the day of the Blackout across Portugal without Goggle Maps and asking for directions a number of times, the experience was so worth it. We were met by wonderful good humorous staff operating in difficult circumstances who managed to serve everything from starters to deserts. Garlic shrimp, beautiful steaks, deserts and lovely wine. The Grill was out on our first night so on our next visit we both had fish for starters and main. The presentation and taste made for a delicious meal from beginning to end. We look forward to our next visit.

    Palacete

    Thank you so much, Carmel. It means a lot to see you return, and to know that even your first visit, during such an unusual evening, left a good impression. We're thrilled you enjoyed the food, the atmosphere, and the team. We'll be here for your next visit, always ready with a table and a warm welcome.

    The seafood here is fantastic! The tiger prawns and octopus are tender and springy, the mussels are super fresh, and the pan-seared salmon is perfectly crispy on the outside and tender inside. The service was excellent—staff were friendly and efficient, and the food came out quickly. Great dining experience overall!

    Palacete
