Wow - what can I say?! The Bold Octopus have been absolutely INCREDIBLE from the moment we first reached out to them asking if we could host our wedding there to the moment the wedding was over and beyond! Anne, Marcus and Nigel and the whole events team and staff made the planning process and event itself so seamless and enjoyable. They were so responsive to our requests and allowed us to do multiple site visits with our wedding planner Taelored Events Algarve. We had a food / wine tasting session and made to feel so welcome during it! We wanted some amendments to the food choice for our guests and the Bold Octopus were so accommodating and provided us with the selection we wanted. I have no idea how they prepared so much high quality food on our wedding day to the standard they did, all our guests commented how amazing it was from the canapes to the main course to the pudding. They also have an extensive cocktail range - both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options which our guests absolutely loved! The staff on the day were beyond amazing - we never had an empty glass and the food service was so quick and efficient. There were also no queues at the bars because the events team did such a good job at putting on a large number of staff and ensuring everything went smoothly. I honestly couldn't recommend this restaurant more. Not only was it the most perfect venue for our wedding but we love it as a lunch / dinner / rooftop sundown drinks. The food is amazing, the drinks are amazing and there is a really fun music vibe in the most stunning setting! We cannot wait to come back every year to celebrate our anniversary and for holidays! Thank you SO much for helping us have our wedding of dreams and making our guests so happy!

The bold octopus in Ria Formosa in Quinta Do Logo. The food is out of this world, such excellent culinary skills by the chef. The moules de cream was just outstanding with white wine cream sauce was like butter melting at every mouthful, shallots garlic and spring onion garnish, mussels where super soft and tasty. The chicken burger what can I say, it has to be the best chicken burger I have ever tasted, recommended by Josh the waiter. Mouthwatering beauty in very bite. The starters where just as good the main course. We had to visit again for luck and sun set cocktails, ended up having food there again. Wishing the Bold Octopus continued success and definitely be visiting this place again very soon, if you are around this area must must visit.

Came here after a long walk following the trail... it was well worth it. The staff are wonderful and friendly. It didn't open until 1230pm, we got there abit early but were able to sit outside until it did. (They come let you know it's open). We ordered the chicken gyozo to start. I ordered the fillet steak for my main (which was done nicely) and asked for the truffle parmesan fries which are worth coming back for alone (my highlight)! My bf ordered the roast chicken which came with sweet potato which he also thoroughly enjoyed too. Worth a visit.

Amazing place for dinner, delicious food, and great service. We had a few starters, calamari, tuna tostada, and choice of bread. Main dishes, seabass with lime risotto, seaweed and grain soya salad, extra spinach with garlic and almonds, and chicken piri piri burger with sweet potato fries. Everything was absolutely fresh and tasty. Next to that, I ordered sangria and white wine, with some advice, and I fid enjoyed it a lot. I can't recommend more.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic night at the Bold Octopus last evening! The sunset setting was absolutely stunning, and the rooftop bar with the DJ created an upbeat and fun vibe all night long. The table service was super attentive, and the food and wine were first class – not a single plate left unclean, we were totally satisfied! Huge shout out to the team for doing such a great job – truly the best night and experience ever. Well done! 👍

Really lovely restaurant located out in the nature reserve and adjacent the beach. Views from the table are amazing and the restaurant is very light and bright. The waiter's and waitresses are really freindly and give you a warm welcome. There is a wide selection of fish and meat based dishes with a good selection of wines and other drinks. Really lovely restaurant and great food so would definitely recommend a vist.
