Dom Zeferino

Reviewed By Mary-Alice M

My partner and I had a really lovely dinner at this restaurant last night. The customer service was excellent. We just told them what sort of food we were interested in, and they brought us the most delicious dishes. We had the sea bass, with potatoes and cabbage, and the octopus and prawn skewers - both of which were delicious! The staff were generous with their time, the food a drink we’re perfect, and everything was a lot cheaper than other local restaurants that we’d considered going to! We couldn’t choose a dessert - so they brought us a plate of a few small ones. We finished with a local liquor, and some happy chat with the owner. I’d whole heartedly recommend a visit!

My boyfriend and I ate at O'Lusitano for our last dinner in Albufeira, Portugal and WOW. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE. I can't even find words to describe the food but to try - it was cooked to perfection, presented beautifully, and extremely rich with flavor. The servers were so kind and helpful. If you're in the area, I strongly recommend you to reserve a table at this restaurant. You're definitely missing out if you don't. ¡Muito obrigada, O'Lusitano! ¡Nós voltaremos em breve!!!

A very nice family restaurant. Seabass, potatoes and vegetables are more than worth the money. Very friendly service all in all. Wines are reasonably priced too, and of good quality. Desserts include tortas geladas and Nata de Ceu which was, well, heavy stuff. That means good. Always worth a taxi ride to visit.

Reviewed By Tania d

This was my very favourite meal anywhere and that is saying a lot! The location is right on the ocean with an incredible architectural building shaped around the rocks. The room is lovely, light and airy with a good vibe. The service is exceptional and all of the team appear to really CARE about this place, their food and customers. The Chef Rui Paula is charming and personable and makes a real effort to welcome all guests.We chose a 12 course menu (fish/seafood version - there is also a vegetarian option) as it was lunchtime and that was just perfect. The imagination, creativity, freshness and flair was world class and the tastes were delicious, without exception.I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. A real highlight of our trip! Keep up the great work.

We had the shrimp dumplings for appetizer and grilled fish (espada and “cavala”). With a good bottle of white wine it costed around €50 for 2 persons and it was every cent worth it. Everything was delicious. Comfortable e beautiful chairs, friendly service.

Freshest fish available being right in the market and careful attention to preparation and service make this a great find. For dessert the cheese cake was refreshingly light yet very flavorful. Pedro, the owner, is gracious and so willing to help. We simply asked him to feed us and he delivered, big time!Thank you so much for visiting and for the friendly comments you left us. We are delighted to hear that our customers appreciate the experience and moments they spend with us. We hope to see you again, The Mercado Food & Drinks
