I went there for lunch and I chose the lunch menu of 12.50€. This included soup and a main dish. I tried the Golden Bream, and I liked it. Drinks are not included in the menu. With a 40cl beer and an espresso, the total amounted to 17.50€. Quite good value, given the privileged location.

Lovely setting with live music in the evening.
Staff were very attentive and helpful in answering any question we had. Ate there for lunch and dinner and went back for dinner the next night. The first time I was with 25 people , then solo dinned and back again with 10 people. Each time, I had the ribeye medium rare, sweet potato fries and sautéed vegetables. Steak was perfectly cooked to temperature, tender and tasty. Vegetables and sweet potato fries were also tasty. Dessert was berry cheesecake and a pear crumble with vanilla ice cream. All desserts are in house made and all meals are cooked to order. A number of people had assorted fish dishes and remarked that the fish was fresh and delicious. Even with the number of people in the two groups, the kitchen staff prepared each meal with love and care. Thank you to the servers who keep us in beverages and ensured we had an enjoyable dining experience and to the kitchen staff for the exceptional food.

The food was cooked perfectly. I had the golden bream from the set menu for 12.5 euros including olives and bread.
The fish was served with new potatoes and a nice selection of vegetables.
I recommend this place for be a very pleasant, good value lunch .

Amazing food, amazing service, and the best cocktails! I was in Portugal for five nights and visited this place on my first night. I had such a great experience that I returned for round two and enjoyed some incredible live singing. I 100% recommend it!

We ate in Cais Da LOTA one evening and the staff could not have been more friendly. We initially thought the waiter was the owner he was so attentive. Service was very good. Food was first class. The Camembert starter was incredible. We were very impressed so much so we went back a second time and …

Had a late lunch there today and it was very nice and the waiting staff were excellent, especially our waitress she was absolutely faultless. We look forward to coming back soon. It’s a lovely restaurant very good menu to please everyone and right on the riverside.

Experience simply unacceptable. What should have been a special anniversary turned into a great disappointment. The attention was very weak from beginning to end. Even more serious was the total lack of transparency: at no time, since the first contact, I was informed that I would have to pay for t…

At Cais da Lota in Portimão, I had time to enjoy the view, see the boats, talk... and wait for more than an hour for the food. If the idea was to provide a contemplative experience, they did. If it was to serve meals, it didn't go as well anymore.

Friendly but unmotivated service. The food was below a simple snack quality. One gives oneself the paint of fine gastronomy, but this is far from achieved. The meat was dry and tough, the fries deep-fried for far too long. borderline food.
