10/10A stunning restaurant with the finest of foods. The owner, as always, was on hand being attentive and providing his intricate knowledge of the food and wines he has to offer. He organised all the food for our group of 8 knowing that some would not eat fish or seafood. Every selection of food delivered to the table was exceptional and cooked to perfection. We finished off with his own family recipe apple pie and in house made ice cream. This restaurant is one we go to every time we’re in Vilamoura and always will be

Another excellent evening. End of season, thought it would be quiet, absolutely wrong, extremely busy with big groups of golfers, but staff managed brilliantly. Food, service, ambiance excellent. A favourite when I visit Vilamoura.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. At Salmora, our concept is based on sharing plates that come out as they’re ready — designed to create a more relaxed and social dining experience. We understand this may feel different from a traditional meal, especially if you're expecting individual portions. Regarding the waiting time, all dishes were served according to the expected timing, as part of our concept of sharing plates that are brought out as they’re ready. We always appreciate feedback and hope you'll consider giving us another try — we'd be happy to guide you through the menu to ensure a more enjoyable and satisfying visit. Warm regards,

10/10Food was exquisite. We ordered a variety from the tapas menu, all excellent, including the delicious apple pie to finish off. We found this gem of a restaurant on our last night otherwise would have made a return visit (or two). Best food we’ve had all week.

A regular venue. Enjoy the tapas style, ambience and friendly staff. Ate the prawn gyosas, tuna preguihno & BBQ chicken (all excellent). To finish I sampled the home made ice creams (Greek yoghurt, chocolate & rum/raisin (mix of Turkish & European styles. Busy, so staff rushed, but still very attentive.

9.5/10Salmora is a great restaurant. tapas style food with a great menu. The chicken teriyaki is a winner along with the gyozas. we also has the beef strips, octopus and apple pie which was made with filo pasty - yum!. i was looking forward to having the clams but unfortunately they had finished by the time we dined at 9pm. The service was attentive, decor and ambience of the restaurant was pleasant. Would highly recommend and advise that you book to ensure you get a table.
