Loki Restaurant — Restaurant in Portimão

This is an experience to truly understand and involve yourself in the tastes of Algarve. It's intimate and immersive and like going to a friend's home -- if that friend is a prestige Portuguese chef.

The space is cozy, and a bit rustic which is the perfect atmosphere for the dishes that Rui presents, which were all impeccably inspired by his life in Portugal, and especially the surrounding landscapes. Sea, mountain, forest. It's all represented.

I've been to a handful of restaurants like this, and this is one of the only ones I would gladly return to. So many of the dishes were perfect! Amazing blends of flavours and textures in cohesive little plates. I especially enjoyed all the fish, and that's not normally something I say.

And finally some creative Portuguese desserts! It can be done, and Loki proves it.

And the art on the walls was a neat bonus too! I...

In my opinion, Loki is not only the most incredible dining experience you can have in the Algarve but also competes fiercely with the best Michelin restaurants in Portugal and around the world. Chef João creates an incredibly intimate experience, expertly crafting local ingredients to surprise your palate and all your senses. The 11 course menu cooked, plated, and served by João guides you on a regional and emotional tour of life in the Algarve in a deliciously creative way. He is clearly passionate about his expertise and it is impressive to see all he does for a single reservation. His attention to detail is seen in the food, plates and cutlery and overall atmosphere. I won’t be surprised when this restaurant gains momentum to be recognized as one of the best in the world. Thank you João for the incredible service and experience, wishing you continued...

What a magical restaurant and it’s chef João :) I’m sorry if I didn’t spell the name right. We had an amazing dinner here . From beginning to an end it was hard to decide which dish was better - they were all so original and delicious. We opted for wine pairing and glad we did - gastronomic discovery! .
