The sangria - nomnomnom... go for the full litre, you won't regret it. The food was fresh and flavourful. What truly sets Flavour apart is the service - the people were quick and delightful. We tried other places nearby, and not one had the combination of flavor, price, and service that Flavour has!

With a large terrace overlooking the sea, we had a wonderful view of our first Algarve sunset. At €1.75 a pint for the local draft beer, Super Bock, we were off to a good start. They also had pitchers of Sangria for €10, but they were mostly ice and not a great value. We decided to keep it simple, ordering a couple "Big Boy" beef burgers (€5.90) with cheese (€1), an orders of fries (chips - €1.50) and potato wedges (€2.50) as well as a side salad (€2.50). The burgers were good with large, flavorful beef patties (250g) on a tasty roll, similar to a ciabatta, that was crusty outside and soft and warm inside. The only thing I did not particularly like was the seasoning in the burger, tasting similar to spices I ate while in India, but I could not quite put my finger on which one it was. All I know is that it probably does not belong in a hamburger patty. The potatoes were also pretty darn good as was the salad, coming with lettuce, tomato, red and green bell pepper, onion and cucumber. At less than $40 (€35) for two beers, a pitcher of sangria, a liter of sparkling water, two cheese burgers, two fries, and a salad, this place was a very good value. They also have live music many evenings starting at 18:30. The service was friendly and efficient and the setting perfect for our first evening in this beautiful locale.

Casa Nova is a fantastic restaurant in Albufeira, Portugal, on the Algarve. It is located in the…read morevery lively old town area, among a great many shops and restaurants and bars. We ordered the "Algarvian Cataplana," which had a lot of seafood and some very good pork. It was fantastic! To start, my wife had a sangria. The waiter recommended the rosé one, which was a surprise. He brought the sangria in a small pitcher and put the final touches (mixing in some mint) at the table, then poured her glass. We've had sangria all over Spain and Portugal, and this may be the best I've ever tasted (yes, she let me taste). The service was friendly, the pace relaxed, and the energy great. This is well worth finding.

Cuisine is Portuguese with style. Try the lamb shank or duck confit. Perhaps the best I have ever eaten in country. Ambiance is cozy and authentic without being ostentatious. Service is prompt and courteous and not intrusive. Good price to value ratio. Like most eateries in Portugal, you can stay as long as you wish. I can dine here every day and not be disappointed or bored with the well curated menu and wine list. Don't miss this tried and true winner.

We came back right when they opened for dinner at 7pm and were lucky to grab a table as a walk-in. (The walk-in table was indoors; the rest of the tables, most of which were reserved, were outdoors.) A majority of the patrons had reservations, and many walk-ins after us were turned away or asked to make a reservation for another day. The food was amazing! I got the oysters as recommended by the server. They tasted so fresh and were great with a chilled glass of the house white wine. My husband is a vegetarian and got the pumpkin and goat cheese puff pastry--it was also very tasty. After paying the bill and exiting the restaurant, we were pleasantly surprised by the live music playing outside. We were enjoying it from inside the establishment and thought it was coming from a speaker this whole time! Overall, we had a wonderful evening and would recommend this restaurant to friends and family.

They have two seating areas, the bottom floor with the nice arch that you see in many photos, and the top floor, which has a view and some steep stairs! Overall, it was a great experience, and the servers are more attentive here than other places in Albufeira. The Piri Piri chicken was nicely seasoned, and same will go for my girlfriend fried cod. We also had their mussels and they will give you a pretty large portion which we enjoyed! Great experience, and their wine selection is also amazing :)

There is a difference between if you need us and we are there and we never sho up to ask if you want more wine, coffee or desert. Yes we did, no one ever came nor could we make eye contact. 45 minutes from the end of food/wine until we left and 40 feet from the restaurant they brought the bill. Too bad for the kitchen that the front of the house is asleep. Maybe end of the season burnout? Not in the other five restaurants we are at. Good service, when you were done with dinner, would you like coffee or desert? Not here at our table.

The menu has other things than the Peri Peri chicken but that's like going to Nando's and ordering a steak. You've got something wrong with you. For 7.50EUR each we got a large platter of chips and chicken to share between us and for a couple more EUR a lovely tomato and onion salad. The house wine was nice too - but I've had better and slightly cheaper... a minor gripe! The food was very tasty and well worth the short trip north from Albufeira to sample the flame grilled frangos (that's Portuguese for chicken).
