Os Salgados — Restaurant in Albufeira

Can't really fault this for food and ambience. Yes, you probably pay a bit more than the average place in the area but the location is second to none and the food and service were excellent. Definitely go for the fish. My wife and I shared a sea bream which was perfectly cooked (cost €48). Also, for someone who hates dealing with fiddly little bones this was great - all deboned and filleted at the table by the waiter. My sons, who are not keen on fish, went for the piri piri chicken and a steak. Again these were very good, as were the accompanying vegetables - finely sliced carrots and beans plus broccoli. Our tomato salad and new potatoes were also very good.

Also, a word about the sweets - these were also outstanding - we had an almond tart, a carob and lemon curd tart and a tiramisu. I sampled all three and can honestly say they were the best deserts I'd eaten for some time (and wr eat out quite a lot).

Total bill for 4 of us including a beer, 2 large glasses of wine, a coke and bread and pate to start wad €136. And we were given 2 complimentary glasses of port to finish, so I thought prettyy good...

wow what an experience it was yesterday at Salgos. We've been to the beach a lot since 1978 because of our house and always enjoyed going to Salgados for a snack. Since Covid there is a one-way street system for the outside bar. Yesterday when we wanted to walk from the beach to the bar, which was empty, and as many people wanted to go in through the exit, we were warned to please use the entrance. we have done this. then we had to cs again. We waited 2 minutes [as I said, it was empty] until the waiter who asked us not to use the exit let us in. His first words were he doesn't know what it's like here... but there are rules here

After the statement we left again without eating anything. In addition, we actually wanted to reserve a table for a group of 30 people for our 5th wedding anniversary next year, but we won't do that now.

I understand and accept the rule but the sound makes the music. Since this was the second time, we will visit the other beach bars, which I can only recommend to everyone because you will receive a warm welcome...

What can we say but wow, we stumbled upon this nice cozy restaurant in the afternoon, and we reserved for dinner. The staff was extremely helpful and polite with professional but be-at-home service. We went with instinct to try more local taste/food and we hit the nail right on the head by following the advice of the waiter. Their local cheese served with bread and melon jam or olive oil and salt and pepper. Then we went ahead and ordered 2 starters (fish based) and nothing but fresh ingredients. For the following dish (main course) again local dishes of fish and again no regrets. Then to finish it off the desert, we selected not one but 3 to try the local sweets. One that we selected was not available anymore and the staff quickly advised us and suggested another one instead. Needless to say they where all great. For the bill I find it fair for the environment, quality of food, service and choice. It is not inexpensive but if you are willing to spend slightly more as your first meal in Algarve area this...
