We visited Venezia twice during our two week stay at Paderne. The wine list is extensive but the wines are very well priced. The staff knowledge and recommendations for wine were really good. They gave suggestions without choosing the most expensive but concentrated on the most appropriate wine for the chosen dish.
The daily special rabbit dish was extremely good and crab and prawns was a very large portion.
We will certainly return next time we are staying in the area.

First visit to the restaurant and the food and service wes excellent . I would recommend you book to save disappointment . The restaurant is quite small and packed out with people waiting for tables . Steak pie and the baby back ribs was fantastic but portions could have been smaller with no complaints .

4. Restaurante Xerem Fusion Cuisine
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 279 reviews
Located on the road from Ferreiras to Paderne, just about 6 km from Albufeira, you will find an unique place with a cosy and pleasant ambience, that take your gastronomic experience further ahead. Here Chef Ezequiel creates fusion cuisine, bringing regional flavours to an innovative concept, which surprises the palate, with small details that intensify the flavour. The traditional house, orange painted, the wood fired oven, the wall made of stones from the region, the ceiling lamps made of tree roots, are just a few more details that frame the essence of Xerém - delicious regional food. See you soon!

We are usual customers of Xerem every summer. The quality of the food continues above average. However, the service was not good, it took too long for the order to come (>40min to starters... more 30min for main plate and then almost 30min waiting for dessert)
Unfortunately not as expected
5. O'Licorne

We went as a group of 5 to this restaurant after seeing the reviews on here and we were not disappointed.
We were greeted by the very friendly owner who was happy to provide a mixed starter for us and cater for a vegan which was a very refreshing change from most of the restaurants in Olhos de Agua!
We had a few different curries brought to the table, with chicken and lamb and chickpeas. Some naan and different types of rice. My family loved each and every dish we had.
I had a chickpea curry which was THE BEST curry I have ever eaten including all of the meat curries I previously loved before becoming a vegan. Mushroom rice was amazing and the chapatis were divine.
Honestly, you will not be disappointed if you eat here.
If we ever return to Olhos de Agua we will eat here again without a shadow of a doubt.
6. Restaurante Mato a Vista

Located in the hills outside Albufeira
Reviewed By BrianML - Bolton, United Kingdom
We were taken here by friends, who knew the route through the orange plantations. Lovely situation in countryside, with big eating area, cellar and shop. Good selection of 'covers', which meant we did not need starters. We had the fish kebab and the lamb chops. Portion sizes were way too big, so we took a lot of food back for our neighbour's dogs. Beautiful Deserts, especially the chocolate mousse. Well worth the visit, if we can find our way back! We bought some of the small Algarve Peppers Piri Piri sauce bottles from the shop. They came in a variety of spice strengths, indicated by the number of red peppers on the side of the bottle.

Ok, it's quite off the beaten track in Paderne and you go there just for the restaurant...I've been visiting this place for some 10 years and it continues to be a wonderful dining experience, with a good offer of Algarve countryside cuisine, delicious and varied.
Service is a bit informal, with two youngsters who do their best to please. They mean well, we're on holidays and this is not a Michelin-star restaurant.
Overall, Mouras ENCANTADAS continues to deliver a very good dining experience.

Reviewed By David G - Whitburn, United Kingdom
Was in Albuferia with friends and went to this restaurant, some of our friends had been before so it was highly recommended. This small restaurant is very old fashioned however do not be fooled or disapointed the food is excellent and so are the Chef and his staff. There is a great atmosphere inside and nothing is too much bother for the team. We didnt bother with starters as we heard the steaks & plates were huge and they were. This is one of the best Fillet Steaks i have ever tasted, seasoned and cooked (medium) to perfection wich chips, mushrooms, rice and salad. I did not take any sauce (pepper etc) i like a steak to stand on its own and it did. I will return to Farnels if ever back in Albuferia and will recommend to others, thanks mmm.

Liked this a lot, we went there every morning for 4 days, when you like something then why go elsewhere? The service was always friendly and warm and the coffee was the best in the area, as I say why go elsewhere. Nice!
