_TI***2xThis restaurant offers some of the best Indian food I've ever tasted! The flavors are rich and the presentation is elegant. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-tier dining experience.
TheForkUserGreat service. Nothing too much trouble. Food was some of the best I've enjoyed including our visit to Southern India last year. I like the way the waiter listened to our preferences and tastes and made recommendations accordingly. Really tasty dishes all uniquely flavoured. Absolutely worth a visit when in the Algarve. I wish Indian restaurants in the UK were as good as this.
TheForkUserWe booked through TheFork because we were specifically craving authentic paella—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’ve ever had. But what really set the experience apart was the chef himself—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—giving them a more intense flavor and delicate size.The Catalan cream and cheesecake were also exceptional—light, flavorful, and clearly made with care.You can feel the heart in this place, from the food to the people. If you’re looking for an authentic, memorable meal while in the Algarve—book this place.
TheForkUserThe service was unbelievable. Extra fantastic! The food had so many courses and everything was delicious. We had the WATER.
TheForkUserWe spent our first night in Lagos at Real Portuguese and it did not disappoint! We sat outside. The inside is lovely as well. Very quaint. In Old Town but out of the craziness and touristy areas. A more laid back, upscale experience. The service though a bit slow at times was welcoming and efficient. Food was excellent. I had the octopus and my husband had the filet mignon. Highly recommend!
TheForkUserFantastic food and staff as always. Myself and my partner have dined at the Palm Beach on a number of occasions since 2022 and it never disappoints. There is a wonderful menu of fresh and excellent ingredients, I think I have tried most of the dishes at this stage and all are fabulous. The staff are excellent and lovely characters. Thank you to the Palm Beach team for making our visit so wonderful yet again.
TheForkUserGreat views and food! Repeat dining and not disappointed. We were not asked about water and besides the minor issue, we would definitely go back. Great food and views!
TheForkUserstaff were very attentive and the service was very quick. The steak was cooked to perfection, the salad and rustic fries were the perfect accompaniment.
TheForkUserExcellent, efficient and friendly service. I got the chicken linguine which was so light and delicious. We had reserved the 6.30 slot so had the choice of inside or out but it did get very busy later on so would recommend you reserve. Would go back as there was so much to choose from.
TheForkUserThis is our second visit to Frank’s so it must be good or we wouldn’t have gone back. Hidden gem we definitely recommend : great food and lovely friendly staff. We’ll be back again soon.
TheForkUserI went for dinner on Valentine’s Day - set menu. Every course was delicious / great service / lovely modern decor with great ambiance / views. Will be back for sure 👍
TheForkUserI am always in awe at f the top service and amazing food as well as the inviting ambiance with live music. Once again, great experience.
TheForkUserThe food was amazing and the service was so great and very personable. Waiter suggested we head upstairs for the sunset on the roof before having dessert. 10/10
TheForkUserCould not fault the food. Everything was delicious and cooked as ordered to perfection. First class service and atmosphere. Will definitely return
TheForkUserWe returned to the Indian Garden after having been there a few weeks before and still not disappointed with the food and service.
TheForkUserWe were a group of 8 friends having completed the Rota Vicentina Walk & booked the restaurant to celebrate. Service & food were amazing.
TheForkUserVery good food, well prepared and nicely presented, all with extremely friendly and competent service. We’ll most certainly be back!
TheForkUser29/5/2025We arrived at Italian republic and as usual the staff grated us with big smiles and politeness. Food amazing, great service and ambiance.Would highly recommend.Thanks to all at Italian Republic. 😀😀👍
TheForkUserWe have regularly dined in Hamburgueria B&B while staying in the area. The staff are great, the restaurant is a library of world craft beers & the food is amazing. The burgers are so tasty & home made!! They have a really good menu. They also have a burger of the month special and we managed to enjoy their October & November offers that were delicious. They marry flavours so very well that you can’t put your burger down after the first bite!!! I was spoiled with their gluten free options too. (Bun & chips) Loved their fresh salmon burger I had yesterday evening. We can also recommend their cheese cakes!!! So fresh & wonderfully homemade. We highly recommend a visit…you’ll be hooked !!!
TheForkUserWe regularly visit Casa Joao when on holiday in a nearby golf resort. We enjoy their Italian food.The staff are friendly, the food is very good and it's good value.Sesmarias is a little way out from the holiday villages of Carvoeiro and Ferragudo but Casa Joao is worth visiting and there is usually parking available on the roadside.
TheForkUserWe were recommended Bella Rosa from fellow holidaymakers. We enjoyed our visit so much that we returned on our last night. The food is delicious and the staff are so helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend you visit when in Carvoeiro.
TheForkUserFood was fresh. Ordered prawn salad, chicken wrap, salmon wrap and Golfland burger and everything was fresh and tasted great.
TheForkUserWe have been coming to Paraiso’s for the last 6 years and love everything about it. The food and service is exquisite and Lena and her team cannot do enough for her guests. I highly recommend the steak on the stone with peppercorn sauce, the turkey and mushroom dish and you really must try one of Lena’s homemade desserts- cheescake, banoffee pie or the tiramisu! All are simply divine!
TheForkUserWonderfully charming and homey ambiance you feel as though you’ve walked into someone’s dining room. One suggestion take a taxi as getting here can be challenging, it’s located in a residential neighborhood with very steep hills and narrow streets. And our GPS got confused and we drove around in circles. It’s a set menu for 38€, 7 courses, five starters and two mains one fish and meat. All of the dishes are authentic Portuguese cuisine and mostly seafood. Truly fresh ingredients, some highlights fresh clams in a garlic butter sauce, lightly battered shrimp, fresh fish with homemade pasta in a light broth with piri piri and cilantro. The pork on the bone in a light stew was so incredibly tender and juicy.The mini dessert sampler was fantastic! The almond crunch was fantastic as was the lemon and carob cakes. The service was excellent and our waiter is the son of the owner’s and his Mom is the chef who we met and thanked her for a truly phenomenal and special meal.
TheForkUserAlways a delight to eat here. Fresh ingredients, no skimping on flavours and spices, brilliantly cooked and friendly, professional, efficient service.
TheForkUserEverything was perfect. Table on the terrace, great bottle of wine (Paxa Reserve) and lovely food. The service was excellent, as always
TheForkUserGood quality food and flavour (Chicken ceasar salad, mushroom risotto, burger). Happy that offer an early dinner time with a bit of a view of the sunset. Will go back again.
_TI***dhThis restaurant is a hidden gem! The atmosphere is lovely, and the grilled dishes are well-prepared. Although the prices are slightly higher, the quality of the food makes it worth it.
TheForkUserAmazing food, great views and wonderful staff.This is a great spot for amazing food, great shrimp appetizer! And fresh fish…. I could just go on and on… please try!!
TheForkUserEverything was as good as ever, it was extremely busy hence service was a little slow however as we were on holiday it was no biggie and a good time was had by all
