Cheapish and food comes quickly, in decent size portions, with a smile but thatâs about it. Food uninspiring visually and to eat. Cocktails poor, ambience and decor average at best. Oh, and the trainline runs literally down the side of the restaurant, which was amusing I suppose.Wouldnât go back.

This restaurant came highly recommended and although it doesn't look anything special from the outside we certainly couldn't fault the quality of the food. The starters and mains were very well presented and amazing. Our waiter, Fabio, was very helpful particularly when it came to choosing local wines. Nothing was too much trouble and everything he did was with a smile on his face. We only met the chef, Pedro, when we leaving but he was full of enthusiasm and obviously loves his job. Not the cheapest meal we had whilst holidaying in the Algarve but certainly one of the best. Highly recommended.

We stayed nearby and walked into Santa Barbara for lunch. We happened upon this little restaurant. One of best meals during our 17 days in Portugal: Lisbon, Porto, Faro, Maderia island.... we found out they had only been open 6 days!! Husband and wife are owners. Service great.Went back that evening for dessert and Cappuccino but also ended up ordering more of their cold carrot dish......sooooo delicious. He even gave us recipe. I've already bought the carrots!!! Please go and support these wonderful people and enjoy their delicious food and welcoming service.SandiUSA Michigan

Super friendly staff welcomed us and looked after us throughout our meal. Catering to our dietary requirements (dairy intolerance) was not an issue at all. The fish was out of this world. We were recommended the couples fish plate which had a selection of sea bass, salmon and prawns and every piece was amazing.Thank you to the New Fat Frog

Sophisticated restaurant - the photos do not do it justice - on an upper street in a smart area of Loule, near the statue! Fabulous food, that is great value for money. We paid around 60 euros for a 3-course meal with wine for two. It feels more like Lisbon than Loule. the service is superb by international standards, and that is unique for the Algarve, where we often find service disappointingly slow and inattentive. Cannot wait to return.

Was OK. Not enough staff so slow - my wife had to leave the table to hunt down the bill. Starters were good. Nicely cooked chateaubriand but terrible, maybe pre bought, bernaise. Pepper sauce even worse. Kids chicken like leather. I wouldnât go back.

Donât expect an amazing interior, itâs clasic Portuguese. This restaurants well deserved excellent reputation is based on fish of the highest quality and absolutely fresh. We have visited 3/4 times per year for the last 15 years and have never been disspaponted. The service when very busy can be a bit slow but when not too busy is top notch, if you love fresh fish cooked perfectly then this is the restaurant for you.

We discovered this gem of a restaurant our first night and loved it so much we went back 3 times. Excellent Portuguese fare, beautifully presented. Lovely, welcoming staff and a convivial setting with a view down to the ocean. Highlights were the fish stew, seafood cataplana, lamb chops and a chocolate, pink peppercorn and sea salt mousse!
