Restaurante Chinês Zu Yi — Restaurant in Loulé

Great Chinese in a perfect location!

Zu Yi Chinese Restaurant, located at Vilamoura Marina, is a delightful gem serving authentic Chinese cuisine in a picturesque setting..

The menu offers an extensive selection of dishes, ranging from traditional favorites like Kung Pao Chicken and Peking Duck to innovative fusion dishes. I started with the Steamed Dim Sum Platter, which was bursting with flavor and featured delicate, melt-in-your-mouth textures. For the main course, I indulged in the succulent Szechuan Beef accompanied by fragrant Jasmine Rice. The dish had a perfect balance of spicy and savory flavors, leaving me craving for more.

The service at Zu Yi was attentive and knowledgeable, with the staff happy to provide recommendations and accommodate dietary preferences. The serene view of the marina made for a pleasant dining experience, creating a tranquil atmosphere where one could savor the delicious cuisine.

Upon entry we were delighted by the restaurants cleanliness and beautiful view of the marina de vilamoura at its front. We were seated and served refreshments immediatley, despite not having made a booking. After a quick browse through the clear and concise menu we had 5 starters and 5 main courses ordered. The starters quicky arrived and were dispatched even quicker. Their bbq spare ribs were so delicious I had to put down my knife and fork and enjoy them straight from the bone. We then received a banquet of main courses, from the usual suspects chicken curry and chow mein, to beef and black bean and ginger chicken. Despite a valiant effort from everyone in our group we were unable to clean all the plates put before us, but each and every one of us left Zu Yi full, happy...
