We had a nice time at this small local restaurant, the food was great and the staff was lovely. I would recommend it every time. Please keep in mind that you need cash to pay, at least for us this was the case at the time of the review. Also pets are not allowed inside, on the terrace, no problem.

From the moment we arrived service was exceptional. Food was delicious, the outdoor seating is particularly pleasant and quiet. The only thing I would like is card payment.

Fabulous dinner, great service and warm welcome, traditional setting, slightly remote location, worth the effort, prices good for the quality received, great food and wine.

This off-the-grid restaurant offers quality for a "that" special taste. Owned by two brothers who also own a grocery stand at the local market. The dish I advise is "Pork Cheeks", my favorite, and can't get enough. As for every good restaurant, my advice is always to arrive early, or make a booking in advance. It can get crowded in summer, affecting service.

Dom Rodrigo provides fantastic food and a wonderfully cosy atmosphere, a family run restaurant the staff are superb and all servers are incredibly friendly and helpful.
Typical open hours are 12:30 - 14:30 and 19:30 - 21:30 and I highly recommend booking and arriving slightly earlier to secure yourself a decent parking spot.
I visited this establishment with family (5 of us total) and we each indulged in the provided 'starters' a main meal (each) and two shared desserts. The total of which came to only €135, the price for the portions provided is astoundingly good and I recommend this as a must visit if you are visiting the algarve.

Restroom cleaning.
Negative points:
In my 3 conchiglie risottos, although there was no conchiglie flavor.
The bill wa…

A regrettable experience at Dom Rodrigo
We made our reservation two days in advance, for 8:30 PM, and we arrived before the scheduled time. What happened next was, frankly, inadmissible.
We sat at the table for exactly 30 minutes without being served even once. We called the employees' attention …

A very positive experience at Restaurant Dom Rodrigo in Altura. We are not in front of a luxury restaurant or a kitchen that seeks to impress through sophisticated presentations: here prevail the Portuguese tradition, the generosity of the doses, the quality of the products and a frankly good quali…

Different place, turning with outer space. Care... very, very, very long. Food: Shrimp rice on the menu should be: “Shrimp rice swimming in saffron with a few slices of shrimp and shrimp not to say so badly.”
Desserts, nothing special, typical Algarve cakes of external production.
Back there?
Hum…

What a surprise, or maybe not. For me, I didn't know it.
The friendly service is a plus value, but the food is a spectacle. Well made, with taste, well served in the portions.
It's worth it!
The good old Algarve of good food.
Continue if you please!
