We arrived at 6 for our ur reservation so it was quiet. The venue is overlooking the beach on the cliff side so I would advise making a sea front reservation. We were instantly greeted my the friendly service staff who were very attentive and discreet. The menu is mostly seafood however, there are other options. What I liked most about this place is that they pick your fish from a seafood counter in the restaurant. For starters we shared the prawns in garlic. They were massive and so tasty. The portion was large so I would recommend sharing. We opted for bread with this and they brought out a lovely basket of different types of bread (olive, carob etc.) this was amazing for mopping up the lovely sauce. For the main, we shared a Dover sole (this was for two). At first we opted for the turbot however our server kindly called me up to look at the portion size (1.6kg of fish) so we changed. I was thankful for this. This is served with new potatoes and a salad with a lovely garlic olive oil you can drizzle over the fish. The cooked fish was perfectly deboned right in front of us. I can’t fault the cooking everything was cooked to perfection. The fish here is priced by the kilo if you opt for this. Our meal for two came to €90. This is 100% worth it one of the nicest meals I’ve had in a long time. If you want fresh seafood in Albuferia this is where you need to go! My pictures were taken when the food was half eaten because I couldn’t resist!

Excellent dining at Casa del Mar along the Praia in Albufeira. This restaurant was recommended by not just one friend, BUT 3!! So of course during our stay on the beach, we had to try it out AND I'm so glad we did. With views of the sea we enjoyed some Calamares, Prawn Linguini and a ribeye steak. The wine selection is incredible with a lot to choose from we enjoyed an Alentajo Branco which paired perfectly with the seafood. This restaurant also has vegan options available as well. Check out the lobster tank too. There are two floors with lots of seating but because of its wonderful service, atmosphere and menu, you will need RESERVATIONS. It was very easy to do on their website and I imagine it is standing room only during the summer months. Think ahead. They also have a very nice dessert menu with port options but we were too stuffed. Next time! Definitely highly recommend myself to anyone looking for fresh food and creative menu options.

I have never left a negative review before but we had a very poor experience here. The food quality in particular is quite disappointing… despite looking delicious and filled with 100 slices of garlic, the sauce for my garlic prawns was quite literally flavourless and the prawns were neither sweet nor salty (probably frozen). Our seafood skewer included some sort of fish that more closely resembled an over cooked chunk of pork, that we didn’t even attempt to eat (pictured). My husband had to season his pasta with so much salt and olive oil after it was served to us dry and again flavourless. At no fault of the staff, we and much of the outdoor dining area were then sprayed by an enormous seagull poo. Despite the poo going in my wine, we were not even offered a new glass. The staff were generally a bit rude and pushy. This is a big tourist trap like much of Albufeira - best to dine outside of this old town area.

Disappointing experience. Went there for our anniversary and was very excited. We did arrive 15 minutes late but our table was given away. 😔. Then we asked if we could take our small dog with us. We were told this was fine and when we turn up, we asked for some water for the dog and they said they said they have nothing to put it in and so no. 😢. During the meal they were very hostile and abrupt and just wanted to serve us and then get us out as fast as possible. Not what we’re expecting. No one asked us if we enjoyed our meal, no one asked us if there is anything they could do for us. We spent a lot of money and received little pleasure eating it. We have been to better experiences for less money and better service.

I'm sorry, but our experience was very disappointing. The fish was both fresh and not fresh. We ordered some kind of mussel soup. The mussels were terrible. They were rubbery, overcooked, and dirty inside. They still had the green part. They were almost inedible. We then ordered fried calamari, which had nothing of calamari in it. It was definitely fried calamari from a frozen bag. It was horrible. Then we ordered rice with seafood, a kind of paella. This was another disappointment. The fish in this dish was also frozen. The rice was overcooked and soft. It was also very watery. During dinner, there was a technical problem which was immediately resolved. We appreciated this. The price/quality ratio was terrible.

Both food and service were amazing! We arrived during the service busiest time without a reservation. The gentleman that welcomed us informed us that there was a waiting time of 30/40min but that we were welcome to wait in the bar, which we agreed to do. During our time here, both at the bar and at the restaurant, we were able to sit outside with a lovely view of the beach. We ordered some drinks and when the table was ready we were able to bring them down. The food was really good! We shared some fresh oysters and the traditional Cataplana (traditional dish from Algarve). The service was fast and the staff very polite and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place and come back next time in Algarve!
