Service

We booked through TheFork because we were specifically craving authentic paella&mdash;and wow, did this place deliver. Restaurante Villa Velha ended up being one of the best dining experiences of our entire trip.The paella was hands-down the best we&rsquo;ve ever had. But what really set the experience apart was the chef himself&mdash;a warm, passionate Spaniard who took the time to explain every detail behind the dishes. We learned that the pata negra was aged for 3 years, and the razor clams came from a local cove where the salt levels in the water are unusually high&mdash;giving them a more intense flavor and delicate size.The Catalan cream and cheesecake were also exceptional&mdash;light, flavorful, and clearly made with care.You can feel the heart in this place, from the food to the people. If you&rsquo;re looking for an authentic, memorable meal while in the Algarve&mdash;book this place.

It&rsquo;s a bit more pricier but worth it, I would recommend the combinations. But unfortunately the discount doesn&rsquo;t apply to them. Lovely atmosphere. With all the takeaway the service got a bit slowly even only with 4 tables occupied. All in all great experience and quality

The restaurant offers a beautiful outdoor seating area with a lovely atmosphere, making it a great spot for a relaxing meal.

Wine and food was amazing! Lots of choices and variety of dishes.  Huge delicious portions ensure you will leave completely satisfied!!

We came here as a group of 13 to celebrate a friends birthday. I booked in advance via the Fork. I called in the day before to ask if the booking can be changed to an hour later and it wasn&rsquo;t a problem. The kept a cake and balloons that I delivered and set up on the table for when our party arrived. It was a beautiful and fun evening. Staff and food was excellent and there was a singer with acoustic guitar singing in Portuguese and English. Such an amazing night. Thank you to all the team who made this a special evening. I have recommended this restaurant to others at our Hotel and they have came back and said thank you for the recommendation. This is the best restaurant and bar in the whole area. Visit it, you won&rsquo;t regret it. Thank you Hope ????????????????????

Great food and service as always. The refurbished restaurant looks fantastic with modern decor whilst retaining some of the original charm.

Great food and service at a fair price! It wasn&rsquo;t busy when we visited so we weren&rsquo;t surprised with the swift service. The Biryani and curry dishes were all delicious and well presented. Will definitely go back!

The service is truly exceptional, with friendly and attentive staff like Luan, who provide a genuine 5-star experience.

This restaurant offers an excellent dining experience with superb food and friendly service. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting.

We had the most wonderful evening yesterday. Starting off on the roof top restaurant being looked after by Nunu, who was very friendly and attentive and there was a really good vibe with the music playing. The food was excellent.We then moved down to the bar area where we were served by Eve who was also extremely friendly and efficient.A fabulous experience, we will definitely return.

As always we were welcomed like family. This restaurant is so relaxed. The food is amazing. We just keep coming back and are never disappointed. The prices are very reasonable. See you guys again soon 10 out of 10

Really tasty and authentic Greek food. Friendly service and nice atmosphere. Best food outside Greece!Saganaki  particularly tasty. Good value for money~Will return!

It is a tranquil and pleasant restaurant. We enjoyed our lunch. Thank you so much to the manager, Julia, who spent so much time with us and told us about Portuguese wines and Portuguese history.  We definitely will visit the restaurant on our next visit to the region.

We were so late to this reservation, but the staff was so friendly and understanding. The drinks and food are authentic! This is a must visit. Can&rsquo;t wait to come back.

Great dishes, the waiter was really nice with us. Sadly the card wasn&rsquo;t translated in English and my translation app was wrong so we take a really long time to choose

Loved this restaurant! The food was amazing, and the suggestions by the Sommelier were spot on. The atmosphere is perfect for a romantic dinner, especially with the stunning view of the Vilamoura Marina.

A well established restaurant offering lunchtime, evening and takeaway food. Very tasty meals with the &quot; Prato do Dia &quot; being particularly good. Friendly relaxed atmosphere, prompt service and sensible prices.

The owners of this restaurant are passionate about their craft, and it shows in the quality of the food and wine. A must-visit for anyone in the Algarve!

Highly recommended for its exceptional food quality and reasonable prices, this place is a must-visit!

We returned to the Indian Garden after having been there a few weeks before and still not disappointed with the food and service.

We were a group of 8 friends having completed the Rota Vicentina Walk &amp; booked the restaurant to celebrate. Service &amp; food were amazing.

We had a great meal here. We just had the tapas but a great selection. It was one of those menus where you could have enjoyed every tapas choice. We had between the two of us and were very full.The wine selection is very good and the prices are excellent.The staff are friendly and well trained.

Lovely little find. Kids and grown ups loved it and we will definitely be back again. From the service to the quality of the food, we couldn&rsquo;t recommend highly enough.

Wife had the sushi buffet that she enjoyed, I had the duck rolls, tempura prawn and teriyaki chicken. All very nice and well presented

Unfortunately the main thing that let this restaurant down was that albeit they said the fish that day wasn&rsquo;t to the level they have at the restaurant which is fair enough, that they only have salmon and tuna. This was extremely disappointing and had we known prior to sitting down we likely would have gone elsewhere. This is very common fish which we could have anywhere so it did let the whole meal down really! This is what sushi is and to be told we didn&rsquo;t think many people would have sushi at an Asian restaurant was surprising.. the sashimi was removed from the bill as a gesture of good will which was appreciated but it stopped us ordering a lot more and we left hungry as we didn&rsquo;t just want tuna and salmon for the whole meal!
