O Arco - Quarteira

We had a small window to grab some dinner, after explaining to our host he went out of his way to accommoate us and served a delicious meal of prawns, salad, melba toast and pate

Fantastic food, wine and ambience. The experience was so good we are revisiting on Sunday for our Anniversary meal. We enjoyed a fish theme and cannot way to conduct a meat selection in four days time

I was in the mood for home-style, authentic Portuguese cuisine. I was so delighted when I discovered this restaurant. The proprietor served us. We ordered a delicious grilled figado de novilho and the black pudding (morcela) dish. Absolutely amazing. Then we had the lombinhos de...porco (pork cutlets). For dessert, we had a fruit dish. This restaurant is situated in a nice quiet street in Quarteira not far from a beautiful small church. The ambiance is perfect. Conversations are not loud, soft lighting, place decorated nicely. Service was wonderful. Restaurants like this are SIMPLY a gem. So glad I had dinner here. Will surely be back

My husband and I were looking for a traditional Portuguese restaurant on our recent trip to the Algarve. We found O Arco on trip advisor and were not disappointed. The owner Juan is very friendly and attentive and is proud of the quality home cooked...food they produce. We visited twice and the food was amazing on both occasions. The Portuguese steak comes highly recommended and the desserts are fantastic too

I got here by accident on a very quiet evening end-of-season. But I was very well taken care of. Blackpudding on spinach with a marmelade for starters. The steak of the house as main. Very well cooked. And the home made ice cream cake for...dessert. Loved it
