Restaurante Costa Rica — Restaurant in Albufeira

Mouthwatering steak!

Amazing family evening dining here.

Staff were so nice and accommodating, they didn’t mind placing us in the private room when we requested to be moved as the restaurant was super busy!

Four of us went to dine here. Freshly baked warm bread and butter/olive, sardine pates and water for the table - “for the table” is always a good look and I think it is brilliant customer service that will always make a restaurant stand out.

My brother enjoyed a Margherita pizza (always a great veggie choice!)

For starters I had a Tasty Tasty prawn cocktail - and this was the best dressed prawn cocktail I’ve ever seen and it was delicious.

For mains I had the Steak special offer, served with peppercorn sauce and fries - it tasted fresh and juicy yet still had some authentic Portuguese element to it. I absolutely love steak and when I come across a really good one I have to let everyone know! If you’re ever in Albufeira new town and looking for a really good steak then this is the best restaurant for it!

Banana split was on the menu for dessert and it was a very sweet way to end the meal. I enjoyed it thoroughly :)

The food quality here is amazing. One of the best steaks I have ever eaten. I would love to come back and dine here again.

The restaurant caught our attention, it looked very cozy. We decided to spend our evening in this restaurant and thought that with such a cozy view there would be good service from the staff and quite tasty food. To start, we ordered appetizers while we were waiting for our main courses and all this ultimately disappointed us so much that we did not even want to finish our food. As soon as we entered the restaurant there was enough free space, but one of the service personnel constantly tried to offer us the most uncomfortable places at the table avoiding good free places that were not reserved. First we ordered grilled fish and it was terrible ... it was not prepared and not cleaned (with head, giblets, intestines and shell). The steak that we ordered from beef and asked to be cooked as Medium Well was completely different and completely with blood. What can I say ... we were disappointed with this place, I do not want to recommend it and it is not worth wasting...

I ordered a mixed meat platter which had microwaved ribs, microwaved chicken and fresh-ish (I hope!) tasting lamb and steak.

One person was handling the whole restaurant (older gentlemen which was very rude and forgetful of our order) meant wait time was long for everyone, due to rain people started to come in and everyone was sat waiting looking around.

If you like good food and have eaten in proper restaurants avoid this place, if all else is closed or packed get a salad and wait for an empty space elsewhere.

Anyone from UK will like this place as they serve chips and chicken but fact of the matter is this is all microwaved food which isn't...
