Restaurante Branquinho — Restaurant in Portimão

Food - we should have gotten the fresh fish or mussels, or something that was more their specialty

Piri Piri chicken: as you can see from the picture, not 1 drop of Piri Piri in sight - seemed to not be seasoned or sauced at all? And no sauces on the table to dress it up Shrimp pasta didn’t have enough sauce and was quite bland

Service: quite lacking, we had to stand at the front for a significant amount of time before being addressed. no one came to check in after our food was provided. After 45 min of waiting for the bill, we finally got up to ask for it We could have maybe asked for sauces if they actually came by

Super disappointing given the prices and how excited we were looking at the other reviews

Ambiance: amazing...

FRAUD!!! Do not understand why this restaurant gets 4.7/5, only deserves 4.7/10, or worse with this price tag.

Tuna spaghetti is literally pasta with tomato sauce and canned tuna on top, ridiculous.

The calamari is very soggy, no taste at all.

Even the sangria taste bad and at the price of €17 for a litre.

The only food that’s good (which should be reasonable for a restaurant with 4.7) is the cockles and the seafood rice is alright, the seafood inside did not taste fresh.

Anyways, avoid this restaurant, don’t get fooled...

I loved this place. Very busy when we showed up at 14.00 on a warm Sunday. However they have us a table inside and then moved us outside as soon as a table became available. Great sea bass and at 50 euros per kg, it is cheaper than similar places around Albufeira/Vilamoura. Kids Menu is fresh and only 5.50 euros. Above all very warm and friendly service. Lots of Portuguese people eating there which is a sign of a good spot....
