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!

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!

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.

We visited twice on our visit to Fuseta - menu is so different to anywhere else weâve found on the Algarve and really worth a try if looking for something a bit different from the normal tourist fare. No outdoor seating. Booking is recommended, especially at peak times as they only do around 20 covers. Food is tapas style and portions are large (though not massive). We ordered a small starter and then 4 plates between 2 of us. The favourite was the pigs cheeks with potato followed by the pork fillet with a fig sauce - meat on both dishes was so tender! Also liked the garlic shrimps with toast. Other dishes included cod risotto, goats cheese, anchovies, breaded chicken so plenty of variety.Dinner for two including a decent bottle of wine and a large bottle of water came to 55⬠which is excellent value for the quality of food and service.

So, family meal out in Olhão town and it was my choice of where to eat out tonight from an extensive list prepared by my daughter. Happy to say i didnât fail to impress with my choice, superb in every aspect. From the very start when we approached the restaurant the waiter who greeted us was very welcoming and helped us with menus...my Portuguese isnât that special iâm afraid. We sat down in the square outside the restaurant and straight away were presented with bread and dips which were a good indication of how scrumptious the food was going to be. Food was to say the least, superb! We had the chilli squid to start with and my son even remarked âwagamamaâs needs to pick up their gameâ which is high praise indeed as this is one of his fave restaurants. Settled on their homemade burgers for mains and i must say it was one of the best i have had in years....oooohhhh still tasting it now. Waiters were really amazing, the kind who look after you because they take pride in what they do rather that just doing it as a job, thank you it makes a massive difference. All in all a fantastic evening out and would happily recommend this over and over again, first class in every way.

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.

Fish Paradise in East Algarve region !That restaurant serves freshed grilled frish, 12⬠per person and you eat as much as you want.Sea bass, "dourada", chinchard, salmon... were all just great.Staff was extremely nice, helpful and serving food in a great momentum so that you enjoy your time but don't have to wait too long.No booking allowed, go there early, meaning 12am.

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.

Restaurante Vila Adentro has a wonderful location, right in the middle of the Old Town. Itâs a beautiful restaurant with a rooftop setting for those who want to stay on after their meal.The interior is beautiful, old-world, characterful and distinctive.A shared starter of fresh bread, tuna, carrot and fantastic cheese cost 6 euro, although it is wrong that they bring it to your table without asking you first! (This is why itâs four star instead of five).Rack of lamb with vegetables was the most beautiful main course Iâve had in ages, fresh, succulent and rich, well worth the 17euros 50.My wife ordered baked potato with tuna, far superior to any potato dish she ever had, with the tuna rich and fresh and seemingly baked in. It had lovely presentation and terrific value at 7 euros.A couple of glasses of rose wine at 3,50 each and a large sparkling water at 3,00.A bill of 42,50 was extremely good value.The staff were friendly and hard-working.This was a truly memorable meal!
