Cabana Sass' — Restaurant in Loulé

Cabana Sass is more than a restaurant – it’s a statement. A touch of Monaco elegance landed softly on the Algarve coast. From the natural design to the caring service and creative menu, it’s one of those places that sets a new standard for beachfront dining.

Cabana Sass pleasantly surprises with several vegan and vegetarian options – still a rarity on the Algarve coast. Prices reflect the upscale setting, but portions and presentation make it worth it.

Starters & Salads:

Cesto de Legumes com Tzatziki (€32) – grilled seasonal vegetables with creamy tzatziki (vegetarian)

Salada de Couve com Grão-de-Bico (€22) – cabbage salad with chickpeas, crisp and refreshing (vegan)

Salada Grega (€18) – a Greek classic with feta and Kalamata olives (vegetarian)

Main Courses:

Pizza Cabana Sass – Alcachofra e Trufa Cremosa (€32) – pizza with artichoke and creamy truffle sauce (vegetarian)

Desserts:

Fruttini by Mo sorbets in natural fruit shells (€16) – both vegan and gluten-free

Seleção de Frutas (€15) and Fatias de Melancia Fresca (€11) – light, colorful and pure summer on a plate

Vegan and gluten-free options are available but not clearly marked yet – something the team could easily improve, especially for international guests...

Lovely location and super food. Everyone is trying hard. We asked for an umbrella before we sat down ; they said no problem but there wasn’t one when we asked again so they went to their store to get one. When I asked for Sea Bass I got a massive one on my own; it would have been helpful if they had said it should be for two or three…It cost 100 euros on it own!!!!We constantly had to ask To be served our wine which was held in an iced container with everyone else’s wine. No one ever asked if everything was good; I tried to move the umbrella because I was baking in 30C and nearly decapitated other diners in the process. Maybe there is a lot more focus on people inside the restaurant. We will come back ( because it’s a great addition to the beachfront) and hope service is more attentive /thoughtful…it comes down to staff training and management are responsible...

Thought we would give this new bar/restaurant a go for drinks as we were booked in for dinner nearby. The situation and view overlooking the beach is stunning as is the actual building. Unfortunately the service and staff drastically let it down. We waited at least 10 minutes before anyone actually brought us a drinks menu. Then got blatantly ignored by a lady server who preferred to chat with her french friends nearby. We eventually got served a couple of cocktails at least half hour later. We were thankful that we had a booking for dinner elsewhere as wouldn't hold out much hope of getting food served within a couple of hours. A fair amount of money has obviously been spent on the structure so hope that service and attention can be improved (sooner rather than later) to make it a desirable...
