10/10Another 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.

9.5/10Excellent food and service. We discovered this place on our penultimate night / but went back for our last night too and had several different dishes. Black pork is a must. Will definitely visit again when we are back.

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.

Food & drink good as per usual. Menu changed a bit (some favourites no longer there) & a few staff gone. A little subdued for me.

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.
