This restaurant is massive, lots of tables and waiters scurrying around bearing trays of chicken chips and salad. The chicken Piri Piri is good, though make sure you tell the waiter you want piri piri on your chicken, some visitors find it a bit too spicy. Its good value, fast service, noisy and enjoyable. There is plenty of parking behind the restaurant. Is it the best Piri Piri chicken in the Algarve, no, but it’s very good.

This restaurant is huge. It has a medium size frontage but it is extremely lengthy inside.
Very clean, well presented and you could have a very large group in there without any problem. Waiters spoke good English.
There were 6 of us dining this night after we had met up with friends following the Cliff Richard 'Signing'. At the time of our arrival there were very few people in the restaurant but quite a few turned up whilst we were there.
The menu offered a variety of food which certainly suited my part. The food was served in a good time and all the meals were well presented and hot.
The only problem we all had was the serving of bread, salad, olives and cheese etc which was placed on the table without us asking. We did not eat all of this and some of the food was not touched. However, we were still charged 18.5 Euros. Something I will be aware of if I visit again or at other restaurants.

I have looked for this restaurant on Trip Advisor and its not there. One of the reasons may be that it is very difficult to find, but to be honest once you have found it you are talking about a WORLD CLASS restaurant!! I have written a few reviews for Trip Advisor and I do believe that my comments have been looked at. Well fellow readers if you can find this reastaurant and can put up with the very gutteral Swiss German being spoken by the other guests in the restaurant who know that the Swiss trained chef has to be one of the finest in Portugal and that although the two star michelin rated "Villa Joya" and infact the highest rated restaurant in Europe is only just down the road in Gale.The Colina Verde can certaintly give the Villa Joya a run for its money!!<br><br>GPS: N37.16121, W8.30403

We live near Algoz for 6 months of the year! Recently discovered this wonderful restaurant in Algoz. This village is blessed with several good eating places, but by far the best is Colina Verde, and the best around the area too, including Albufiera! The food is superb, as is the ambiance, wine list and service! The cost too is reasonable,but great value for the quality! We now eat there with friends at least once a week and look forward to it. Very sad to say they have stopped doing a fabulous lunch at 7.50 Euros complete, but they are absolutely worth a visit, don't miss out, love it!

Ate here for the first time with family who had eaten here many times before. The pri pri chicken just fell of the bone, the tomato salad was delicious, the chips were good, the wine we ordered was a house red, that was delicious which cost €10. This restaurant is where the locals eat which I love, I love the charm the no frills attitude ok it has paper tablecloths but you're gonna get messy!!!!! Keep your Nandos I'm going to Ramires.

On March 30th, 1995 São Domingos restaurant was born in Galé, Albufeira.Domingos Almeida had the dream of having a restaurant and Maria da Conceição accompanied him on this project of a lifetime.They bought a plot ofland for 2,000€ (a small fortune in April 1980) and with great effort built a house for the family.In their family home, a villa with swimming pool, this adventure began. They started by adapting the garage but quickly becames too small for the lovers of good food in this new restaurant.After the garage, the restaurant has expanded to the living room of the villa and other spaces until only remain the bedrooms.Currently the restaurant São Domingos has four rooms, one private, and one Terrace to enjoy, with all conditions, the fine dishes of this cuisine of knowledge and passion.Although no longer a family house, São Domingos became the "home" for many visitors of this Algarve area, which recognize a familiar space in this restaurant where cameback again and again, is always a joy, pleasure and satisfaction of taste.In the last decade, Rafael, the eldest son of the couple São e Domingos, has contributed with their talent and wisdom, so that the restaurant of his parents is one of the best in the Algarve.

First time we visited this Restaurant, and we found it based on TripAdvisor opinions.
Private parking (quite important in peak season...) we booked a table for a small group (birthday of one us).
On arrival, we, immedialty noticed that is not so wide (two rooms) with a background chill-out music that fits perfectly in a minimalist ambiance, where the main decor motif are bottles of wine on the walls.
After looking at the menu, you can notice that the global choice is not so wide, but, carefull chosen (really good wine choice) and cooked, as we could check later on, in what concerns to fish (really fresh fish) or meat (tender meat), not mentioning the delicious desserts, both at a really good level and fairly priced.
You can notice that the owner as well as the staff are truly concerned about your well being: they will make your best sugestions and will make sure that everything is according to your best expectations.
After being told that it was the birthday of one us (still don´t know wo was the "snitch"..) we were surprised by a discreet offer of a small birthday cake.
Quite a good surprise. Definitely a place to be back.
I do recommend it.

Been to Atlantico many times over the years. Loved it and Aurelio and staff were great. Always had a welcome and the food was always brilliant.
So we went to the revamped Atlantico and were not disappointed. Good welcome and the place has been spruced up but not changed too much. Menus have changed as you'd expect. We shared a huge sea bass which was the best sea bass we'd ever had. It was beautiful and the waiter took the bones out etc in front of us at the table. It was simply gorgeous. It was served with plain vegetables which was all it needed. Had desserts and washed it all down with a bottle of Sir Cliffs Vida Nova Branco.
Port served afterwards and the waiter left the bottle in case a top up was needed. Bill? €79. Good value.
Would recommend.
8. Restaurant O Ribeirinho

After Reading all the really positive reviews here on TripAdvisor we were really looking forward to some great food.
Parking is tight but ample with large car parks behind the resturant.
We walked in and requested a table for 4. We were offered a table inside or 'outside' (this is a large lean-to type of extension rather than actually outside). We chose the lean-to. We ate at 19:30 and it was fairly quiet. The restaurant is quite large and deceptive from the outside.
Despite quite a few reviews stating no menu was provided, we were presented with one, albeit very simple.
Everyone goes there for the chicken obviously. We all ordered half a chicken with either rice or chip and a large mixed salad.
The service was fairly quick. The quality of the food was quite disappointing. Half a chicken, portion wise does not compare to UK Nando's. The meat was almost fried and barely tasted of Piri Piri. One of the family ordered plain and there was barely any difference. The portion of fries that came (on a single platter) didn't seem quite enough for the three that ordered fries either. The salad was ok!!
Choice of Deserts were quite standard for Portugal as you would expect. We ordered three Almond tarts and a chocolate tart. Only two almond tarts arrived (served like school dinners and almost thrown on the table) with a comment of 'only two almond tart' while just walking away!! It was as if he was waiting to see who would fight over the two portions. Not even a thought about asking what we would like in replacement. We had to call over another waiter and order the missing dessert, that took ages to arrive!
All in all, not a fantastic experience.

Went here for supper in this very busy restaurant and had a lovely meal, in nice surroundings with friendly service- and a reasonable bill.
We had fantastic grilled prawns in piri piri as shared starter, then chicken piri piri and pork medallions as our mains- both very good and I wont be going to Ramires again for chicken piri piri.

The fish is fresh and perfectly cooked- just salted and grilled. You can ask for more of any of the varieties. Huge crème caramel or fruit for dessert. Communal tables. Simple but enjoyable. Good staff
