We ordered the golden sea bream and octopus, they were delicious and fresh! The quality of the food was very high. Very reasonable prices and attentive staff. 10/10!

Having been to Albufeira 5 times now, I can say that this restaurant is one of the best for fresh Portuguese food. We found the price very reasonable and everything we ordered was tasty.

We got the set menu for €16.50, which included starter, main, dessert, a coffee and a drink (including a pint of beer or a bottle of wine as options).

The fish was fresh and delicious (we got grilled golden bream, which seems to be popular in Albufeira) and an extra seafood paella for €15. We also got 4 different deserts and they were all amazing. Our starters (olives and garlic bread) were simple but very tasty too. I couldn’t believe the size of the bottle of wine included with my order. I thought it was just a glass, but it was a medium-sized bottle of wine.

Have to mention the friendly staff and that our food was prepared really quick.
This is now one of my top places to go in Albufeira. I hope they dont raise the price.

I also recommend O Catraio in the old town for seafood and good value (can’t comment on other dishes) and I heard the restaurant next door from Cantinho (Adega do Zé) is also very good.

We were a group of 12 last night. The restaurant was full, a nice atmosphere and not as loud as in other restaurants. We all had the fixed menu for 16 euros. I had garlic bread, my wife a seafood soup, both very tasty. For the main dish I had salmon with fries and salad, my wife fish filet also fries and salad. We both had the strawberry cheese cake for dessert, a bottle of red wine and each a espresso, 16 Euros for each, can't complain. We were surprised how fast we were served and the food was nice and hot. Will certainly go back again, very friendly owners and servers!! The speak good English.

We had family dinner here several times and food was exceptional. The prawns in garlic, grilled squid, sardines and squid was perfectly cooked. Their mandarin cheese cake was also good. Highly recommended and call for reservation so you don't end up waiting and disappointed.

Great traditional food at great prices. Dedicated tourist menu - €17.50 for starter, main course, dessert and drink of your choice plus tea/coffee. Recommend the fresh sea bass. Busy, friendly atmosphere, helpful staff.
