Dona Steakhouse — Restaurant in Loulé

Food was very disappointing. My partner ordered a medium sirloin and it was medium rare at best, quite watery and no flavour, had to ask for salt. The steak was not cooked on a grill it looked pan fried.

I wanted to try the vegan steak as I only eat fish. The best way i can describe it was maybe cardboard. So dry and tasteless and they charge quite a lot for it although I got it on the tasting menu. I asked to change for something else which they kindly obliged and went for the salmon. Again this wasn't grilled. Ordered brownie for dessert which was nice and churros which were rock hard and over cooked.

The service was really good. It was relatively quiet and the decor was lovely. The womens toilet was a nice touch.

I think as a steakhouse the steaks should be near enough perfect. Not value for money unfortunately, very overpriced for the quality. However, again the service was good and staff...

New Restaurant in Almancil, with steak and great vegan options! Main dishes from 21 euros

Chef / owner had a restaurant in London. Now in the center of Almancil, where Restaurant Alecrim used to be. Very nice host and lady!

Beautifully renovated, inside about 44 seats, a beautiful garden restaurant at the rear and a terrace. An asset to Almancil! Nice decor, tables and chairs, linen napkins and nice glasses.

In addition to all meat dishes, they also have delicious creative vegan dishes such as mushroom croquettes, tofu cocktails and vegan chorizo sausage with pickles. And as main courses Cauliflower steak and a beautiful meal salad.

A clever concept where meat eaters and vegans can eat together!

And there's even vegan wine!

Highly recommended!

PS...

We had a great steak dinner here. It looks small from the front but the terrace out the back is a lovely addition. We went with 4 teenage boys and they all had the sharing meat platters which was a great choice and plenty of food for them. The grilled octopus starter was divine. It being an Argentinian steak house, all the meats are delicious and cooked as ordered. Had a very nice chat with the owner (who spent some years running a restaurant in London). We will definitely come back! Thank you Anderson and team for a...
