A Broa

We had a wonderful experience at A Broa. Even though we arrived after 10pm and were the last guests, the atmosphere was still warm and welcoming.

To start, we were treated to a complimentary pre-starter of chorizo, served in a flaming pot for us to cook at the table – a fun and tasty surprise! For starters, we had garlic mushrooms and smoked salmon, both delicious.

For mains, my partner chose the sea bass, served with a fresh garnish salad and sliced roasted potatoes. He enjoyed it so much he was literally doing a happy dance as he ate. I opted for the pepper fillet steak, cooked blue. Not many places get that right, but here it was absolutely perfect – flavoursome, tender, and exactly how I like it. The portion was so generous I couldn’t finish it, and my partner was more than happy to help.

The service was excellent throughout. Despite being the last table, the staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming – never rushed or false.

Considering the quality of the food, the prices are very reasonable. For two mains, starters, two soft drinks, and a litre of water, the bill came to around €75. My pepper fillet steak was €24, which is incredible value compared to restaurants on the Vilamoura Marina where prices are almost double for smaller portions.

We’ll definitely be going back before we leave and highly recommend A Broa to anyone visiting Vilamoura. It’s a memorable dining experience you won’t forget! Thank you for your hospitality

12 of us for a 60th, all the food came out at the same time and everyone enjoyed what they’d ordered. Highly recommend

The staff is incredibly friendly, and the food is delightful to enjoy.

There's not much to fault about the food.

The highlight is the bread, served warm and crispy, wrapped in a cloth towel, reminiscent of freshly baked bread from a stone oven.

The Fish Cataplana is delicious, especially as a soup. My husband enjoyed his rabbit dish as well.

The portions are generous; we ordered three dishes and two drinks for only 53€, which is a fantastic price.

Our family and friends have been to A Broa for a couple years now but it was my first time visiting yesterday. You HAVE to add this restaurant to your to do list. If the photos don’t convince you, at least go for the prices and quality of service! The manager, Antonio Almeda, is very friendly and passionate about his job! I will be recommending this place to everyone from now on. Outstanding food. Great people. Better than best prices! Do not miss out on the Chateaubriand (photos attached) €30 for two people and served with a hot stone to allow you to continue cooking the meat to perfection! Recommendation: if you like your meat cooked all the way through, order medium and cook it to perfection on the hot stone! Absolutely, fantastic!

We found this place by accident on a random wander. I wish we had found it sooner! The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The special (suggestions) board was what we chose to eat off and it couldn't have been better. You get lovely warm rolls and the house spicy sausage that comes to your table flaming. It's lovely with a delicate flavour and not that spicy. I had fillet steak on the stone which was amazing. It looked great coming out and is done to your taste. My partner had the suckling pig. He was very impressed it looked fab. He said it was tender with bags of flavour. The prices are very reasonable and the food is better than what you get on the main drag at the marina. We will visit again before we go home x
