Diplomático Restaurante Boutique & Bar

Wow, what a hidden gem! A superb, relaxed, clean, and inviting venue serving a delicious mix of traditional Portuguese food, with plenty of fish, as well as a good meat selection with enough options for vegetarians. Service was perfect, and the staff could not have been more helpful, kind, and funny. I would personally recommend the fried prawns starter, and the codfish gratin, both of which were delicious. One of our party had the traditional Portuguese steak which also looked incredible.

Even better, this doesnt seem to be a particular tourist area. We felt we had a traditional Portuguese restaurant experience, just what we were looking for!

10/10 we hope to go again!

We had a lovely meal last night. There was a live singer who gave a great atmosphere. Lovely setting and lovely food. The staff were super friendly. All ready booked to go back.

Been wanting to try this place for a while as I heard about it from others who live here. It's in the old town of Quarteira so if you dont know about it you are unlikely to come across it. So happy me and mum tried this restaurant yesterday. It's beautifully decorated inside the restaurant and the outdoor terrace, lovely fairy lights and furniture. Dog friendly! We shared a starter, carrot, zucchini and cauliflower tempura with balsamic drizzled on top, delicious! For our main we both had pork cheeks with mash, cooked to perfection, tasty and presents beautifully. Highly recommend this restaurant! Large menu choice of food, desserts, cocktails, drinks. Good prices 6 euro gin and tonic, 3.50 house wine. Friday they have live music. Great service. Staff very friendly and attentive. Its owned by 2 sisters who we enjoyed talking to. Cant wait to return later this week and take our friend who is visiting! Bolt or uber cheap to get there. You will not be disappointed with this place! Enjoy!!!

Beautiful restaurant and bar, real cosy feel. Menu was great and authentic, service was fabulous. Would recommend, lovely food, lovely owners, felt very looked after.

My husband and I have just left your beautiful restaurant, where we had a fantastic lunch!
We had the lunch special which was cod fishcakes and pork with broad beans, oh my they were both so delicious!
The house red wine was also lovely! We were served by two very friendly staff members(sisters maybe)
We both would highly recommend this restaurant...I would love to know what the dishes of the day normally are...
Thanks for a wonderful lunch, see you again!
