Wander through the maze of backstretch just behind the Golden Mile of Resturants, and a different world appears.This world is full of disjointed streets, strange and interesting shops, and random street cafes.This particular one seems to cross between the local and tourist markets, providing a limited menu, around key themes, e.g. Sea, or farm.We had a light lunch of fried squid, and honey ribs. An unlikely option in many places!This proved to be excellent, with plenty of flavour, fresh ingredients, and just right as a change from the prawns or mussels that are frequently the main option for most not wanting sandwich lunch.Cos was just over 25, including a bottle of wine, which is not bad for such good food and drink.

We stumbled upon this place by luck. The service is incredibly friendly. The seats were all reserved, but the friendly host managed to squeeze a small table for three. We ordered the sweet potatoes, Traditional Portuguese salad, Thai tuna, fried tofu rice dish and vegetarian curry. I was with two vegetarian eaters and they had so many options! We returned the next day with a group of seven. We enjoyed the rabbit dish and octopus with similar dishes from the day before. Dishes could be shared between two people! Food is slow to serve, but worth the wait. Overall, a lovely experience. The ambiance is quaint and very European. We are happy we found this place!

Local joint slightly off the beaten track, a few steps from Olhaoâs wonderful markets, where we buy whatâs freshest each morning. Fresh tapas/petiscos, salads and a handful of fish and meat dishes every day. Oh, and our desserts are always gluten free. We

Hand written menus with lots of fresh fish, no compromise to tourists, (no chips) and genuinely friendly service. We had different starters ranging from âsheepâsâ cheese with honey, fig, mandarin, goats cheese and honey and tomato and water melon salad with basil. Three of us had the fresh sole and one of us grilled chicken and salad. All our dishes were excellent. Highly recommended.Thank you very much and thank you for being with us!

We have been going to Gunther's ever since it opened for during our 2 week holidays to Olhao. The food is always exceptional, the staff and Gunther himself have always welcomed us with a warm, polite and friendly atmosphere.It is a modern, yet chilled restaurant with good vibes and ever better food.We have never once had to send our food back and never once had a rude encounter with staff.Staff ensure at all times you are enjoying your meal and are very accommodating to people's wants/needs.We are due to go back in 3 weeks, and it's safe to say we can't wait to visit.

Visited with friends whilst recently on holiday in the Algarve. This is a second visit and what a little gem this restaurant is. Food was delicious....had sole with fried banana...just lovely. The restaurant was very busy and thankfully our friends had reserved a table. We will be back in holiday next year and will definitely visit again. All in all highly recommended.

Apaixonados pelo Mar e por toda a riqueza que nos dá, temos o camarão como base, sem sermos uma marisqueira. Somos uma Maré de novos sabores, em Olhão.

Up a side street and at first glance doesn't look much but so glad we went in. An interesting shrimp (prawn) based menu nicely explained by a very friendly waiter. We shared a heavenly salmon starter and then had the risotto and the lasagne which were more than the names suggest. Highly recommended.

We came here 16 months ago before the restaurant was truly recognised and we were wowed. On our return we had exactly the same menu but the experience wasnât quite the same. Bread and anchovies to start with followed by cod and pork loin. The owner was attentive and the meal was good value for money(although more expensive). Set in a back street and inside it is authentic Portuguese - definitely worth a visit away from the main restaurants.

Three of us were there for dinner on a quiet Monday evening. The service was charming and the food very good. We had vegetable soup and a green salad to start with. The main courses were two chicken dishes and a steak on the hot stone which was huge and tender with superb flavour. I would certainly go back

Iâve been visiting family with my girlfriend for a little break out of London.My parents took us here for dinner on a Saturday evening saying two words only: âtrust us!âWell, wouldnât you?The restaurant is located on a very relaxing spot, basically facing Ilha de Tavira. A bit out of centre but honestly thatâs the beauty of it, you are surrounded by peace.The place was full (large group for a birthday party), we had a sit outside, starting with their house white and some nibbles. We decided to have dinner at the same table, staff was very accommodating and the owners (a lovely Italian couple) suggested us the daily specials. From the first plate until the last one NOTHING ways wrong. All delicious, all fresh and the portions were absolutely not the ones we have at home in London, they were BIG. Iâve barely been able to finish everything. They impressed me. Totally.The bill as well, far away from what we were thinking to get.I really recommend this restaurant, I saw passion and dedication in everything the two owners were doing (one is the head chef, a total superstar). And passion and dedication is what we should always reward. I will definitely be back.
