Lutje Tapas Bar and Grill — Restaurant in Albufeira

As posted previously by others, this place is set back off the street, so easy to miss. We were a party of 4 so we ordered lots of the Tapas menu. When we handed up our order(you get a list and tick what you want), the waiter/cook tut tutted and suggested that we order even more. We did and then you get a second opportunity to order more. Loads of different dishes, too much really but I loved the chicken wings, meatballs in tomato sauce, pork snitzel, dirty fries, nachos and onion rings. There were loads of other dishes, fish croquettes, clams, garlic bread and more. Not normally my sort of restaurant but I really enjoyed it. Very friendly gentleman serving and cooking. I think it takes a second visit to 'get the hang of it'. We didn't even order any main courses, which we could have done but we were too stuffed. Sorry no pics as my wife took them and Google won't let me post pics from another app. Wine was very good at €12 per bottle, water €2.50 and cover was €20 pp. Total bill €120.(included 3 bottles of house white and 2 large...

Less than 1 star! We trusted the reviews but as soon as we arrived, something seemed shady (but we agreed on trying anyways). There is no “all you can eat” as in the pictures, but we ordered 8 tapas to try anyways. 1) salad (ok, tomato, greens and onion), 2) 2 portions of chorizo (1 tiny slice of chorizo each than you can put in your mouth), 3) shrimps (2 baby shrimps size of an almond), 4) quesadilla (1 little triangle with weird cheese) 5) rice and tomato (ok, not so much to fail with there) 6) baked fish (could not even eat it) and 7) meat Balls (this was the funniest as they brought ONLY 1 MEATBALL yes only one with the size of a nut). I mean, guys, shame on you. We paid 25 euros for this shit and 2 cokes. Please dont be as stupid as we were and dont go! Dont trust these reviews. It is better for this restaurant to re-direct their business instead of stealing time, money and asham themselves...

TL;DR - amazing food, superb service and an overall brilliant experience. Would recommend!

Upon arrival we were greeted by a very polite waiter who was very accommodating for the seven of us, with multiple bills split between us. We all ate from the Tapas menu and the food was served promptly. The food was absolutely amazing, one item to note was the Grilled Chicken, which we couldn't get enough of as it was so good. We chose to have our dished staggered, which meant we could eat everything over time without things getting cold, which I would recommend doing. The only dish which we wouldn't order again is the Fried Chicken Wings, which were only what you would expect, nothing special, but also very nice. Overall the seven of us absolutely loved our meal here, and will be going in the list of options for our last meal of our stay here - we always choose our favourite restaurant of the week for...
