54 - Albufeira

Wondering through Albufeira trying to escape the restaurants with big screen tvs showing soccer cam across this little place. We were lucky and got the table next to the open window overlooking the beach. We visited at night and noticed a lunch special for chicken piri piri 9.5 E on a board outside the front door and asked if we could also get it at night. The waiter agreed and we ordered 2 and a ½ carafe of house wine 8.50E. The chicken is what we would classify as a baby chicken cut into quarters and served with chips. If you’re a big eater this is not for you. The chicken was moist and tender could have been a bit hotter on the piri piri side but acceptable. The ambiance well it was one of those nights where a couple of tables with 8 or so people all talking at once, so not a very a romantic quiet place but lively. I would have preferred to have visited for lunch as the view is spectacular, the place is on the road that goes over the tunnel that goes to the beach., just next to the Hotel Sole E Mar. The staff were very pleasant and the food came promptly. For Alubfeira the lunch specials are very good compared to the other restaurants in the main streets.

Me senti decepcionado após uma boa refeição aqui há vários anos. A cataplana estava muito boa, mas decepcionada com a sobremesa. pedi Tiramisu e recebi o menor pedaço de algo claramente saído de um pacote e ainda congelado! Perguntei à garçonete sobre isso, que era extremamente hostil. Não era uma ótima atmosfera no restaurante, todos pareciam infelizes por qualquer motivo.

Este simpático restaurante oferece uma boa escolha de pratos de peixe e marisco. Há uma área de estar externa com 3 mesas em uma pequena varanda com uma linda vista para o mar. Recebemos conselhos honestos sobre quais pratos de peixe eram frescos e o que estava congelado.

This friendly restaurant has a good choice of fish and seafood dishes. There is an outside seating area with 3 tables on a small balcony with lovely view towards the sea. We were given honest advice on which fish dishes were fresh and what was frozen.

Restaurant très sympa. Bel accueil, personnel présent et attentif.La carte est étoffée, le poisson (de la morue) était très bon et bien cuisiné.La vue depuis la terrasse est magnifique.Je recommande.
