Os Arcos - Albufeira

Satisfactory meal for 4. Fish soup was more like pasta soup although onion soup excellent. Bread home made tuna paste tasty. Chicken stroganoff satisfactory not great. Tuna steak again same standard. Chicken piri piri satisfactory. Portuguese steak steak excellent gravy tasty but needs more potatoes. €113 for 4 satisfactory but there are higher standard restaurant much better elsewhere.

Just come back from our stay in Albufeira, we found this little gem by accident and so glad we did The food is amazing, the prawns were fabulous as was the tagliatelle all cooked fresh and beautifully presented He staff are amazing and not at all pushy they don’t have to stand outside trying to get you in it’s a small place but always busy We visited 3 times twice we had to wait for a table but not long and it was ready at the time we were asked to return The food was so good we ate there on our last night and booked a table so as not to be disappointed If you’re in the Old Town would definitely recommend you go here to eat

So, we have just been to the restaurant on our last night in Portugal. We walked past the restaurant a few nights ago and there were people queuing outside to get a table. After looking for a more traditional restaurant to eat we decided to come back and luckily enough we claimed the last table for 4. The gentleman on the door sorry didn't get his name but assume he is the owner) was really friendly and welcoming, told us he had a kids menu that wasn't on display my son is 5) and then sat us down, brought menus and asked us if we wanted any drinks. Beers and juices came quickly, including freshly squeezed orange juice, and we ordered food..kids pizza, chicken nuggets and pork fillet and peri peri chicken for the adults..plus extra drinks. Food was a little slow however this was due to the place being full and food being freshly prepped and when it arrived we knew we had made a good choice. Pork was lovely and tender served with sliced fried potatoes and salad, chicken was spicy with added peri peri oil) served with fries and salad... delicious. Kids really enjoyed their meals too..nothing left for dad to pick at! 4 meals, 4 beers and 4 juices, plus a bottle of the peri peri oil, for about 55euros. Possibly the best meal we have had all week..and we have had a few good ones to choose from! Will definitely pay another visit next time we come back to Portugal! Thanks from Spiderman for the tiny beer!

Me alegro de que estés aquí. Esa forma de trabajar y esa forma de alimentarse. Comimos cataplana de pulpo y torta de queso hecha por diogo. Siempre repetiría si volviéramos a la albufeira. El diogo habla español y muy bien da goteo como la gente trata. Gracias por todo.

Had the Portugese steak, was very very nice the sangria was also really good. We had a great night would definitely recommend!
