Evaristo

Reviewed By Roberto070now - Dundas, Ontario, Canada

We went to Praia Evaristo this afternoon, walked in the sand, enjoyed the waves...and stayed for dinner of course... Evaristo is a great restaurant...we sat outside, but they bring the glass doors along a track when it gets cool...lovely.
Here, you choose your fish, they weigh it and then cook it....comes with potatoes and a salad...just enough (depending upon how big of a fish you choose, of course). Nice easy to understand wine list with a nice variety. They have beer and sangria as well.
Their website is a bit difficult to use...we couldn’t get a question to them (wanted to know if they were open on Mondays), since the “captcha” phrase was so difficult to duplicate (tried five times on five different ones). Maybe instead of a live camera they could list their hours of opening....nowhere does it show on the website (at least anywhere prominently).
Service is excellent - caring, attentive and with much knowledge.

Restaurante Dom Carlos

Reviewed By nides77 - Sheffield England

Amazing 5 course dinner experience costing 130 euros with drinks included for 2 diners. Salmon layered with fresh prawn in filo pastry; spiced pumpkin soup with bursts of flavour; succulent fish; chicken with mozzarella and finally apple crumble tart- all delicious. Cosy living room setting with attentive hosts. Lovely evening.

Vila Joya

Reviewed By SharingIsCaring2013 - Miami, Florida

I was not familiar with the restaurant or the concept Tribute to Claudia which happened to be the 10th anniversary and apparently the last of its kind. This is a two Michelin star restaurant since 1999 run by an Austrian chef. Housed inside a small hotel in a very nice location, it offers a good experience for the eyes and taste buds as well. Had a great experience with a bunch of chefs with one to three Michelin stars from various countries flying in to do a single dish each. I wish I knew about this concept beforehand as I have enjoyed the evening very much. I think I need to try it on a regular day as well next time. Well done!

Our friendly multilingual staff invites you to begin your evening with a drink at our well-stocked bar whilst you browse our menu or make your selection from our specialities of the day.Our "garrafeira" is richly supplied with many good Portuguese wines and the waiters will be more than happy to assist you in choosing the most appropriate to accompany your meal.Adjacent to the main dining area of the restaurant there is a delightful shady garden Terrace, an air-conditioned winter-garden and a playground for the children.

ATENTION: Between 1st September and 1st July we close on Mondays, that means we are open every nights only during the months of July and August.

Reviewed By Kald06 - Paris, France

We had dinner here as a family during our holidays. The restaurant is a bit upscale compared to regular Portuguese restaurant, and by this I mean by decor and service/ welcome.
Like many restaurants in the area, it serves Portuguese food adapted to tourists. The food was good (had the cod) but it's not the traditional Portuguese version which I find a shame. It is of course way over priced compared to what it would cost anywhere else and portions are smaller than in other places. Nice enough, but not authentic.

We have been visiting the area for over 25 years and Scooby's is an institution. This was our first visit since the makeover and what a change. The place is very smart with outdoor booths and a smart new outdoor bar. The work has been carried out to a very high standard and it is very impressive.
We did love the old place and we feel it does lose the old character of the place that we loved however .... things move on and Scooby has taken the place forward more than a few steps and now has more capacity and a great environment.
We wish him well and look forward to visiting again in the future

They have refurbished and it looks really nice. Food is as good as ever and we visit regularly. It is difficult to get a table in the summer so go early!! You can't book so first come first served. There is a nice bar over the road where you can wait for a table if necessary.

Sao Domingos

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. Visit this guardian of the gastronomic heritage of Portugal ...

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.
