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.

Pedras Amarelas Restaurante

Reviewed By Gayle J - London, England, United Kingdom

We visited in December when most restaurants are closed. The view was amazing, the staff friendly and welcoming, and the food good. We visited twice. It was definitely our favourite restaurant in the Algarve. We watched the sunset and walked on the lovely beach. Fabulous!

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!

Restaurant O Marinheiro

Decorated in a charmingly rustic style with hints here and there of the Algarve's nautical past, the O MARINHEIRO Restaurant, at Sesmarias in Albufeira, was founded over a decade ago and since then has enjoyed an excellent reputation throughout the region.The menu comprises a delicious selection of national and international dishes; all prepared using only the freshest seasonal ingredients and includes a children's selection for our younger guests. 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.

Marinheiro is still over the years one the best restaurants in the whole Algarve! Tasty, fresh, typical Portuguese food, with good quality service and very comfortable atmosphere. Give a try if you are in the area, I’m sure after trying you will be tempted to repeat !

Os Salgados

Reviewed By Owly13

Beautiful beach setting and very popular for watching the sunset. We went there 3 times for drinks and each time the wait was longer than the one before. Our intention was to go there to eat but after the last visit we have decided that we would rather eat anywhere else. The staff ignored us for a good 10 minutes + we only got served after calling one of them over even though we were the only ones not sitting with a drink. The guy that took our order didn't speak, smile or acknowledge us but just jerked his head and walked away
He came back, dumped our drinks on the table and walked away. No-one came near to see if we would like another and it took another 10 minutes to get the bill. Never again.

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.

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

Two of us came here on Sunday for dinner, we walk in and were ignored by 2 members of staff, we sat ourselves down and waited, and waited, and waited, the one guy who was serving customers just walked off and sat eating a burger,...MoreI am sorry but i think you wrote in the wrong restaurant profile, I was there sunday night and I didn't notice nothing as you describe... I didnt notice any delays on orders, or people leaving without being served...

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.
