    Make reservations and get here early. Cute outside patio, you will get much better service and attention when they are not busy. Nice staff, amazing fresh food but it was the most expensive dinner we had in Algarve coast (besides Vila Vita Park Resort where we stayed). But the quality is definitely there. Crowded tables and service was half as good when they got busy, hence why the 4 stars.

    The food here is amazing. If you visit Lagos the dining here is a must! We started off with the clams and muscles - they were to die for. Then my sister had the seafood pasta, I head the Argentinian steak, and our friend had the risotto. Nothing was disappointing. It was all perfectly seasoned and prepared. Hands down the best food we have had in Portugal. We ended the meal with a delicious glass of rose, chocolate moose and gelato. Again all of which was delicious. Aside from the amazing food the service is excellent and the view from the balcony alone is reason to visit! The beach ambiance, candle light, and warm setting make this a worth while stop for a delicious meal and the perfect place to watch the sun set.

    This restaurant was recommended by a local guide. It's a cozy little restaurant with great ambiance and service. It's located on ca steep curvy street, so parking is a little challenge. There is a parking lot close by, so I recommend parking uphill and walking to it. The menu is limited, but what they do have is amazing!

    Located right along Benagil Beach. Reservations are recommended since the seats at the terrace are usually asked for first. On our way back to our car after touring the sea caves, we could smell the delicious aroma coming from this place. They weren't open for business yet, but decided to wait. We got lucky with getting a table at the terrace since someone cancelled their lunch reservation. It was a nice place to take in the beach views and summer breeze. We decided to try the mussels for our starter and cataplana for our meal. Both were delicious and most of the seafood was caught earlier in the day (while waiting for them to open, we saw the guy making the delivery and asked questions). Everything was so fresh. Mussels cooked in a garlic butter and wine sauce. We soaked up all the yummy goodness with some bread. The cataplana was a treat to see. Our host mentioned that this dish is typical to the Algarve region. It usually consists of shellfish and fish and bits of Portuguese sausage in a tomato/wine sauce. The portions are fairly big and could easily feed 3 people. The fish practically melted in our mouths. They have other options if you are not a big seafood fan. The staff here are very friendly. Parking is tricky there really isn't a designated spot. There are some dirt parking lots as well as parking along the street, but keep in mind that this place is situated along the curve of a hilly road. Sorry if my description sounds weird. But Definitely try this place out if you are visiting the area!

    By far the very best seafood and fish I've EVER had!! A must try in this area. Excellent service and very fresh food.

    This place was outstanding!!! My husband and I actually went back for the second time, it was by far the best food we had in Portugal. First night my husband and I shared the fresh parrot fish (first time having it) and it was to die for. Service was extraordinary from beginning to end and food from appetizer to dessert was also great! Definitely can get pricey but so worth it!!!

    Excellent food, service was courteous but not overwhelmingly welcoming. Vista is magnificent; if you want to sit out on terrace during high season then reserve 3-4 days in advance. Fish fresh from the morning's catch; we had the Cataplana and it was the best I've ever had. The king prawns and sausage skewer was also excellent. Pulpo salad was fresh as ever. Expect to pay accordingly but still very reasonably priced for quality of ingredients.

    Excellent food and service. We had fried squid and tuna along with some other local Portuguese dishes. It's definitely a good find and I would come back here again. We really loved the atmosphere and ate outside and people watched. The plates were generous and the total price was 34€- amazing.

It was, in a word, fantastic. First off-the service. The gentleman who attended our table was delightful. Patient in explaining the dishes, his favorites (which we ordered), and just a great sense of humor and kindness about him. Next, and importantly, the food was amazing. We had the Stonbass and the Turbot with potatoes and a mixed salad. Grilled to perfection, fresh as could be. The meal was so good. My partner had the lemon meringue (after the pastry chef suggested it). Light and lovely. It was a great meal. A great spot. A great staff. We could not have asked for more. Neither could you. Do it!

    Everything was perfect! Highly recommended…read more We made reservations for lunch on a Wednesday. Glad we did. It was very busy. Excellent Sea Bass for my husband. And veggie soup along with algarvian salad for me. Prices were very reasonable. And quality of food was fantastic. Service was impressive. The best part of our entire dining experience was the kind beautiful smile and expert service by the young woman with beautiful black braids. Her name may have been Erika (she's expecting also). What a gem of an employee and definitely an asset to this restaurant. All in all a great lunch at a traditional Sagres family restaurant!!

Everything we ordered was delicious from the clams bulhao to the arroz marisco to the Algarve tart (best algarve tart we had on our trip). Even the homemade garlic bread was good. Seafood all tasted fresh, staff was pleasant, and the restaurant had a catchy playlist going too. Only downside was how long it took to deliver our main course after starter. We were seated at a table near the front door; perhaps sit at a table closer to the front for better attention.

    Jardim Rústico - Albufeira, Portugal…read more If you're anywhere near Albufeira and don't eat at Jardim Rústico, you're truly missing out. We spent a month in the Algarve and ended up dining here at least 10 out of 30 nights. We kept trying to find another restaurant that could compare--and never did. The food is authentic Portuguese cuisine at its finest. The clams, made from the owner's grandmother's recipe, are hands-down the best I've ever had in my life. Honestly, it doesn't matter what you order--everything on the menu is exceptional. Be adventurous. You won't regret it. The restaurant is family-owned and family-run, which adds so much to the experience. Vitor runs the kitchen and delivers incredible food every single night. His wife Ines runs the front with grace and warmth. Luan and Joah were there every evening we visited, offering some of the best service we've ever experienced anywhere--professional, kind, and genuinely caring. The ambiance is casual, quiet, and cozy--it truly feels like home. Every guest is welcomed like family, and this incredible team goes above and beyond to make each night memorable. If you go (and you absolutely should), tell them the Fanellas from Florida sent you. Jardim Rústico is a gem, and dining there was one of the highlights of our trip.

    I did not know sardines can be that good!…read more * * * EXPERIENCE * * * It's not holiday season in late November so half the shops were closed and there weren't much options to eat, we decided to eat here after some beaches walking for the whole morning. We went in at around 12:30pm there was almost no one, but from 1pm it got pretty crowded with mainly Portuguese people. Staff was nice, they have menu with English, and price was good too! * * * FOOD * * * Vegetable Soup: A It's in between clear broth and creamy type, it's a cabbage driven soup with lots of fresh cabbage, I have not had such good cabbage soup in the past. Not too salty and they taste was just about right. Grilled Sardines: A It was really good! 8 euros for 5 sardines, the sardines were grilled perfectly and it's not very salty, the skin crunchiness was just about right, and the fish quality was super fresh. They also offered a bowl of salsa kind of things, sardines does have that taste that some people resist but the salsa acidity refreshed my taste buds right after, making me want to eat the sardines even more to balance it out. Excellent food, good quality and good price. I'm definitely a fan!
