La Barca Restaurant — Restaurant in Albufeira

Had a meal last night, decided on the fillet steak, asked the waiter for “well done”, specifically asked that it be cooked through out, “no red bits”..he was very pleasant and said he would make sure it was done to my liking, my steak arrived, it wasn’t as well done as I would have liked but it seemed ok until I got half way through and found it was almost raw in places. I was asked how my meal was and I told them it wasn’t to my liking, I showed him the pieces that were still raw, the waiter shrugged his shoulders, handed me my bill, took payment and left. Not quite sure why they asked how my meal was and then totally ignore my complaint..needless to say I won’t be eating...

We ate here on Tuesday 14/4/25 , everyone enjoyed the meal and wine, even though it was cold outside the sliding doors were kept closed and kept heat inside We returned on Tuesday Saturday 19th doors were open temperatures were only slightly higher : waitress said would close doors as we were seated just inside ; (other clients were eating in their coats ) she only closed one side . She also broke cork while attempting to open wine bottle -waiter finished opening advised none went into bottle however 2 of 3 glasses had bits of cork in them !! This all took away from...

Stopped here for lunch a couple of days ago, was the only place that didn’t harass us to go in so we did.

Good variety on the menu, I had a bolognaise pizza of the tourist menu which was a steal at 7 euros, lovely and thin, tasty and crispy.

The others ate off the main menu, wife had a delicious and fresh chicken salad, her words others had a chicken penne pasta which was lovely, the garlic pork was extremely tasty and finally chicken in mushroom sauce was outstanding flavour wise.

The house white is delicious, the beer in frosted glasses...
