A gem! I have a place just up the hill, but have only ate here for the first time this week. We rocked up quite late having just arrived in from the airport. In spite of this, the restaurant had no issue giving us a nice quiet table, slightly further away from all the noise. We received a lovely welcome, and our food arrived really promptly. The menu is excellent, and there were probably 20 things I can't wait to try in time. The crab pate is absolutely incredible. We ordered chicken skewers, and they were beautiful.

Read moreOur experience at Borges Restaurant was nothing short of outstanding. From the moment we stepped in, the staff showed an unwavering level of kindness, making us feel welcome and valued. The service was impeccable, with the team going above and beyond to ensure our evening was special.

The mussels were cooked to perfection, served with aromatic herbs and tender onions, while the seafood skewers were a highlight—succulent prawns, tender fish, and chargrilled vegetables brought an explosion of flavors with every bite.

What's even more impressive is the incredible value for money. The prices were very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food and the level of service we received. It’s rare to find such high standards without feeling like your wallet has taken a hit.
Overall, Borges Restaurant is a must-visit for anyone in Almancil. Great food, fantastic service, and a team that made our night one to remember. We can't...
