Restaurante O Catraio — Restaurant in Albufeira

We saved the best for the last.

On our last night, we stumbled across this lovely little restaurant and I am so glad we did 😊

We managed to get a table outside on the lovely cobbled street. The place had a lovely atmosphere, everyone seemed happy with their meal and just genuinely had a good time.

We ordered some olives and garlic bread to keep us going until our mains arrived.

I had Garlic Prawns with French fries and Salad and my husband had a Pork Dish in Portuguese Style.

We shared a bottle of House Red and an Apple Pie with ice cream.

I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a great meal at a...

What’s more, I was pleasantly surprised to find that one of the staff could spoke a bit Yue Chinese and the pronunciation is well. Before leaving, I invited them to take a group photo, recording this pleasant...

I was really looking forward to eating at this restaurant based on reviews and was very disappointed to receive piri piri chicken which was almost all bones and NO MEAT. It was odd to be served this and so I voiced my concern to the server who insisted ‘this is what Piri Piri chicken’ is. He clearly did not want to acknowledge that I was served chicken bones with some seasoned skin on them and no meat to be found. If they would have simply acknowledged the misstep it would have been fine but they seemed intent on insisting it was a figment of my imagination. In addition, My starter tomato soup tasted like a canned product and very salty. Unfortunately I would not recommend this restaurant. We had an incredible meal at Alfredo’s the night before, for about the same price including a lovely dessert. Go...
