Avô Casimiro

In a two week trip to Portugal that covered Lisbon, Porto, central Portugal and the Algarve, this was our favorite meal. Warm and welcoming, the service was great. The dishes included items that are traditional to the Algarve which we did not encounter anywhere else on our trip. Make this place a priority and check for their opening hours as they close on Wed and Thur.

I ate there last year on vacation. The wait (30-50 min) was worth it! Cozy atmosphere, excellent service—we felt well cared for. Perfect for a classy dinner or date. Even the cheapest wine was great and elegantly served. Delicious food—I’d come back anytime! Thanks for the hospitality!

If you’re looking for an authentic taste of the Algarve, this charming restaurant in Portimão is an absolute gem. From the moment you step inside, you’re enveloped by a warm, cosy atmosphere that makes you feel like you’ve been invited into a local’s home. The service is impeccable—attentive without being overbearing—and the staff makes you feel truly welcome, offering helpful recommendations and always with a smile.

The highlight of the experience is, without a doubt, the tapas. Each dish showcases the very best of Portuguese tradition, crafted with fresh, locally sourced ingredients that stay true to the flavours of the Algarve. The selection is a delightful mix of seafood, cured meats, and rich, savoury bites. Each dish is presented beautifully, but it’s the taste that truly impresses: bold, fresh, and brimming with authentic regional character.

What sets this place apart is its ability to remain deeply rooted in tradition while offering an experience that feels both intimate and modern. It’s not just a meal, but an immersion into the heart of Portuguese culture, with each bite telling a story of the region’s rich culinary heritage. Whether you’re a seasoned traveller or a first-time visitor, this restaurant offers a genuine, unforgettable taste of the Algarve—one that will have you coming back for more.

Authentic tapas served. Delightful decor. Excellent friendly service. After 4 years on the road it was so wonderful to experience such a meal. Fairly priced. Somehow they even managed to play my favourite song by Israel K 'Over the Rainbow' so I knew I was in a happy place. Steps from the harbour front where a post meal walk is recommended.

Visited for our anniversary and it didn’t disappoint! I don’t usually go for tapas/petiscos, but this was amazing! We loved everything we ordered… the sauces in the dishes were delicious for bread dipping! Wine was also very good. Recommend! Staff was very friendly and helpful.
