Cafeteria by Alfagar — Restaurant in Albufeira

Tapas overpriced, under whelming and over cooked.

Positives: great venue with sea views overlooking an infinity pool (currently closed). Staff are friendly and made us feel welcome and made a few jokes. Garlic prawns were delicious. Croquets were ok, nothing special. Padron peppers hard to go wrong.

The negatives (The tapas and wine): Mussels were over cooked and chewy. One of our party chocked on one as hard to swallow. Calamares, we have had better in the UK, over done and too firm with a little chew. Fried green beans, these are deep fried, come out crisp but in minutes are a soggy mess. The garlic Mayo for both was very strong. Stuffed mushrooms were not stuffed, just grilled with melted cheese. Wine: we were recommended the more expensive green wine, whilst pleasant it was only 9% and had a slight fizz like it was not quite right, we did not complain but on reflection we should have.

Summary: Way to expensive for the quality presented and I would not recommend.

Most of items on menu are worth trying and we want to get to this restaurant again.

Be aware its not a gourmet restaurant but a place to try very tasty fish and meat dishes for a...
