Arrive early 3pm time frame and meet Frederico and Claudia the owners. They will greet you with a smile and warm friendly greetings.

Thiago (our server) was tremendous helping us with not only our Portuguese, but also helped me brush up on my Dutch. We shared some Southern with him so if he gives you a "Ya'll come back soon" it's our fault lol. Bless your heart was his favorite 😂

Mauro will likely be the first person you meet as he is the greeter out front bringing everyone in with his smile and excitement. He was wonderful at remembering we were from Tennessee and mentioned it every time we stopped in. Truly friends welcoming friends here.

I know I mentioned before the food is fabulous, but well worth mentioning again. The pastas are fresh, sauces amazing and pizza 🍕 to die for. Cheers 🥂 to you for making it this far, you've got to be hungry. See you there if not in person, we'll be there in...

This a tremendous restaurant I've been coming to albufeira for 15 years and this was my first visit. The staff were friendly, polite and professional and know let's get down to the important part. I consider myself a prawn lover and here I was treated to the best cooked prawns outside of Asia. The main course didn't dissapiont I opted for steake on a stone it was presented perfectly the only worry was I thought they'd given someone else's meat there was so much, it was frightening it was sesonned to perfection and the accompanying dishes were great. By the time I had finished my meal or was time to retire to my bed. I would like to thank all the staff for supplying a memorable birthday.

On a sad note visitors are here for a short period and there's nothing worse than trying to find a good restaurant. I've read reviews that do Not give a true reflection Of the quality of this restaurant and given for whatever reason be brave visit...

I cannot fault this restaurant, from the attention paid to you by staff to the food. The food is exceptional. Husband had rabbit and asked could he have some mushrooms & onions which they accommodated with no problems. Son had the ribeye which was cooked to perfection and so juicy and tender. I had the lasagne which was delicious and so filling. The homemade coleslaw is a lovely tasty addition. We will definitely did return. I again had lasagne cos it’s so tasty but kept some room for profiteroles. Hubby had venisiin which he said was melt in the mouth and our son had the tomahawk steak which we pre ordered. I got to taste it and it was delicious. Cooked rare in kitchen and finished off on the hot stone, with garlic butter and rosemary. A meal here definitely does not disappoint. We will really miss eating here and is great...
