We visited Cabana Fresca. We've got this place recommended by some friends We met at the hotel, on our holiday. I am glad that we chose to eat here. Normally I do not eat fish and seafood. But I've got recommended to try fresh fish and seafood in Portugal. At first glance the restaurant seemed a little bit to the high end, located right at the beach with a nice view over the ocean. The restaurant didn't have any kids menu, in the menu - but no worries, they had it all covered. I ordered a seafood platter, with mixed seafood, Eg. Prawns, crab, two kinds of class and Monkeyfish. Normally I don't eat fish at all, I'm used to prawns and crabs. I've never tried clams before. I am so glad that I tried it. It was so delicious!! One of the best dishes I've had in Portugal so far. My wife ordered the Chateau Brian - it was really delicious. A little tough to cut, but melt in your mouth. It was cooked to perfection of her choice, and there was plenty of food. Served with pommes Anna, Asparagus and fresh vegetables. The sauce was good (could have used a little more salt) The herb butter was delicious and very tasty. Their drinks were good and overall a very nice place to eat. The only reason I can't give this restaurant 5 stars, is because of the high music. Maybe we were just placed badly close to two speakers. The music was a little too high in my opinion, but besides that. Everything was tasty! And delicious. The staff was service minded and friendly. Also I recommend going for their Caipirinha. Also a good choice. I would rate this restaurant 5 stars, If the music was a little lower. Overall, I would give Cabana Fresca 4,5/5 stars. Thank you for a lovely evening and a very delicious meal. Would recommend this place to anyone. Fresh, tasty, delicious and nice staff ❤️ Keep up the good work!

Well this place has 5star service and food. The atmosphere is energetic and classy with excellent live laid back music on certain nights. My wife son and I have always been impressed with the best service in the area by far. All the staff are very helpful and friendly, but I especially want to thank Luis, Lucas, Young Paulo and Gil for the most welcoming energy, and their relentless efforts to ensure we are happy. This is our favourite place to eat by far and the quality of food,is second to no one. We shall return again and again as long as those amazing friendly lads are there. As you know some restaurants can have very grumpy staff and do not engage with you, then charge you a large sum with no warmth. Cabana Fresca is the New Standard of excellence and I highly recommend. Do not miss this place as you will soon see how amazing the food, sea view and staff are. Simply the best. ( •͈ᴗ⁃͈)ᓂ- - -♡

Normally not one to leave a bad review, but probably one of the worst experiences in a restaurant I had in a while, mainly down to service, and how long food takes to be served, complete inattentiveness. Food was not the worst by any means, but 1h 40 minutes for a main to be served? A salad starter 40 minutes? Then having to ask for the bill 3 times over 30 minutes. From when we sat down until we left it was almost 3 hours, I've been to 10 course tasting menus that were shorter. Ordered a bread basket and it was given to a table two seats down, they were touching it in front of service and then service brought it straight to another table after realizing it was not for them. We never received our bread basket in the end either. Seeing front of house constantly touch their hair and face and then setting cutlery without washing hands was a bit off putting too. It just seems so chaotic and unorganized.

This is truly a great spot. The food is really good,tasty and is has to be locally sourced as it was so fresh, flavoursome and vibrant. Its spotlessly clean with the nicest staff in any restaurant in the Algarve. Its February and we tried a few other places around the Algarve from Faro to Sagres, not all were open, most were only fine so we were less than good so we were not that confident for the options as we were in the area for a few days. Thankfully this place was well reviewed and rightfully so. On our last day it was raining and our young daughters shoes were a bit wet. The brilliant staff went out of their way to be kind and welcoming to us they took her sneakers and brought them to dry and also gave them blankets! Our girls were so happy at Cabana Fresca they called all the team here their friends! Especially Artem he is a wonderful character and excellent restaurant manager.

This restaurant offers a higher level of eating experience than other establishments around. Yes the prices might be a bit higher than elsewhere but you can see the difference once you try it. Staff was very professional and attentive making sure we are well looked after. All the questions on some of the ingredients were double checked with the chef and dish delivered in the pan was was placed on our plates by the waiter. Now onto the food… I had the most tasty meal of my entire holiday here, the presentation of the dish was of the highest level and portion was big enough for me to leave place full. If you appreciate good cuisine this place is for you.

Wow! Beautiful place, lovely setting, amazing sea views. The service was so friendly and welcoming. Staff spoke good English and couldn't have been more helpful. We had the Seafood mix, which came in a large covered pan, in an amazing broth. The seafood was giant prawns, clams, the best monkfish chunks we have ever had, mussels, crab claws, potatoes in a tomatoe based liquor. Absolutely incredible. The waiter served the first helping and lovingly presented the plate, making a pattern on the plate with the broth. We had white sangria, which was gorgeous and fresh!! We cannot recommend highly enough. A highlight within the Old Town
