9.5/10This is a big, boisterous beachfront restaurant in a busy area and is not the sort of restaurant you would expect to find particularly good food or service. However, the service was excellent. All the staff were both friendly and efficient. And the food was a revelation. Really delicious and with first-class presentation. If this review sounds suprised, it should do, we were totally suprised about just how good Restuarante F was as a culinary experience! Highly recommended.

Food 10/10 ⭐️ The food, wine, and dessert were absolutely incredible – truly some of the best I’ve tasted in a long time. Dishes were full of flavor, beautifully presented, and arrived from the kitchen very quickly. The culinary side of this restaurant is outstanding and alone makes it worth visiting. Unfortunately, the service didn’t live up to the same level. It took nearly 30 minutes just to order drinks, and we also had to wait far too long for the bill. Our main courses even arrived before the main course wine, and dessert was served quicker than the dessert wine. At times it felt like we had been forgotten. I would gladly return for the food, but I hope the service improves to match the quality coming out of the kitchen.

We were greeted by the manager/owner Ricardo upon arrival, and I was very happy when they allowed me to open a special bottle of wine I had brought for the occasion. The restaurant is situated on the beach, and has a beautiful view of the surrounding bay. Even though it was busy, it the service was excellent and the delivery of our food to the table quick. The seafood they prepare is very well done, with a modern twist in the majority of the dishes. Fresh, interesting and very tasty. The restaurant has a in-house winecellar and their selection includes gems from all over Portugal, with Ricardo willing to give good advice on what he recommends to buy and explore. All things being equal, Restaurant F is worth the drive to Portimão!

9.5/10Food and service are simply second to none. The Lobster risotto is a real standout dish. Waiter very knowledgeable with the extensive wine list.

7/10The view is very nice. If you are coming with disabled people, please note that there are stairs to get into the restaurant. All the fish/seafood dishes were very good and tasty. The meat wasn’t that good. Too bad for such a piece. The fries came kind of cold. But were replaced. Staff was friendly but they are clearly understaffed. Everything took so long. The bread is certainly frozen. Too bad because the butter was amazing! Nice experience for the view, Nice experience for the seafood. For the rest… disappointing.

Excellent food, attentive service, and a perfect location right in front of the ocean. We were a group of 8, and the service for the whole table was outstanding. Everyone ordered something different, which gave us the chance to try a variety of dishes, and every option was delicious. A truly positive and memorable dining experience , highly recommended!

We had six people eating and everyone’s said the food was great. The servers were nice but they were very slow and didn’t seem to care if we needed anything. We had to ask three times to get the check when we were finished and waited over 30 minutes sitting waiting to pay

3.5/10The only thing this restaurant is good for is the view, and over 70% of the tables can't even fully enjoy said view. The food is good, but nothing special for the price. Service is garbage. 30 minutes we waited for desserts and the servers simply didn't come to our table. We left without getting any dessert because the service was just awful. There are much better alternatives with similar viwes in the area.

Trust Ricardo with your wine pairings! It truly made a world of difference and he was more than happy to sit and have a conversation on food and wine. His passion and love for what he does is apparent. The food celebrated the ingredients and it truly did not get fresher than the octopus! Would visit again ❤️

+1A tasting menu of 5 courses, all “surprises” from the chef, including 1 amuse, 1 starter, 1 fish main course, 1 meat main course and 1 dessert, all with wine pairing! And really decent and good amount (4 oz, not 2 as many others would give) of wine you can actually enjoy. The price? Very affordable! Michelin guide did not make mistakes on this one.

3/10This was a very unpleasant evening. The service was very poor and the food mediocre. Certainly not expecting that from a restaurant with a Michelin recommendation. Somehow they cooked rack of lamb half correctly on on side and overdone on the other side. The fish dish was bland. We were repeated ignored when we attempted to get the bill. A disappointment.
