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.

Save yourself the trouble of enduring incredibly bad service (and I'm in Portugal so I don't expect…read moremuch!) and walk 200 feet to Cantinho do Petisco ... comparable prices, delicious food, great service. The food at Retiro is good ... but the time you have to wait for anyone to even come to your table is ridiculous. And then when they DO come, you get to watch them ignore you for 30 minutes when all you've begun with is a half liter of red wine!

This is a great choice for a meal in Carvoeiro; amazing view, good food, good service…read more Tia Ilda is just up the hill overlooking the beach, and if you are seated towards the front of the restaurant (either inside or upstairs on the balcony), you'll get a fantastic view. We were in pretty early (by Portuguese standards at least) for lunch during the off-season, so we had no issues getting a table for six upstairs with a view. During the busy season I would expect this place to fill up quickly though. Service was friendly, and as usual the servers spoke both Portuguese and English (and probably a smattering of French and German if I had to guess). The menu also comes printed in all four languages, which makes life easier. The food was generally very good; the artichoke tapas was basic (cool artichoke in olive oil and garlic), as was the octopus (grilled and chopped). The chicken piri-piri was excellent; cooked well so that the skin was crispy but the meat was still moist, and with just the right amount of heat in the butter sauce dabbed over it. Overall a good meal in a great location, we would certainly return.

If it's cold/windy it can be less enjoyable outside, although they do provide blankets if it's cold. We went twice over the course of a few days and service was a bit slower one of the times we were there, probably due to how busy they were. Despite that, experience was great both times.

Lota is good for groups and families, wielding picnic style benches, quick service, and affordable prices. But make sure to bring cash! We couldn't believe our eyes at some of the prices (pâté for only 0,6€?? squid for 11,50€??), but quickly learned that this was because the pâté came in a little peel-pack, and the sangria tasted like artificial strawberry juice. However, spend wisely and you will get full. The fish is mostly grilled, with minimal marination or fuss but it does taste pretty fresh. We were brought boiled potatoes and salad to accompany our meal which was a nice balance to the meal. Everything came out pretty quickly and it seemed like the vibe was to get diners in and out just as efficiently. No one was rude per se, but the staff very clearly were just waiting for their shift to be over so they could close up. Despite how convenient this eatery is, it probably wouldn't be on my places to return to when I'm back in Lagos.
