A short drive from Loule, this classy restaurant is well situated on a hill with a good view of the coast. The food here is excellent, well presented and cooked with flair and finesse.Service is polite, professional and attentive. The lunch menu offers excellent value with 2 courses for around 30 Euros. The wine list is surprisingly limited for a premium restaurant, but is fairly priced.

Outstanding.
The level of quality at Henrique Leis Restaurant speaks volumes and more.
From the moment you are welcomed from outside the restaurant the entire evening became a joyful gift to cherish.
The food, the service, the menu, the decor, the originality of this place takes you to a special place where your senses are taken to a whole new level.
Every course paints a beautiful picture, which takes you forward to another part of this exquisite story with flavours beyond which is imaginable.
Simple bread served with homemade fresh butter & pate. Superb wine menu favouring the best. Amuse bouche delight. Fresh foie gras on honey cake. Lobster risotto with pumpkin crouton. Divine raspberry sorbet.
Words cannot express Henrique Leis enough. Thoroughly recommend and we will be heading there again very soon, especially for a sunny lunch on there terrace.

Compliments to everyone at Henrique Leis for the outstanding food tonight: Foie gras, escargots, lamb, lobster, chocolate medley dessert and apple Charlotte dessert. The Amuse bouches and sorbet were also amazing.
I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the area.
Every morcel of food was delicious from start to finish …. presented with flare and layers of flavour.
We will be back!

Henrique Leis is a wonderful classic French restaurant. When you enter, it feels like coming home. A pleasant atmosphere, very well cared for, but not over the top as in some other Michelin Star restaurants. Understated luxury.
The staff is very friendly and helpful, without being slavish.
The 10 tables are arranged in such a way that everyone has their privacy. And for the summer there is a beautiful terrace.
In addition to the lunch menu, there is an extensive dinner menu. The starters are quite expensive, starting at 25 euros. For the main courses you can choose fish (38 -57 euros), meat (38 euros) and vegan (20 euros). Dessert costs around 15 euros.
The 8-course tasting menu costs 96 euros and, if reserved a few days in advance , is also available as a vegan variant.
The wine list is very extensive, with prices ranging from 60 to 6000 euros per bottle. We chose the cheapest, and it was delicious. The other ones can't be much better, haha..
We start with a beautiful basket of bread, a regular version, and a gluten-free version.
Then 4 beautiful amuses, fantastic taste! As a starter we have a colorful, but simple salad. You would expect better at this level.
As main course we chose the mushroom risotto. Highly recommended! Even in Italy we didn't often eat such a delicious, strong risotto.
The dessert not only looked fantastic, it also tasted great!
Definitely a restaurant to go to more often!

The food, wine and service were simply superb. We have eaten here every year when we have been on holiday in the Algarve over the last ten or so years and the team there never fails to deliver. If you have not tried the taster menu, I cannot recommend it highly enough. There is a huge selection of…
