    Tried this place out first night in Portimão after reading a couple of Yelp reviews. One Yelper ate…read moreat Cletonina each night he was in town, and with his hundreds of reviews on the app, that was good enough for us. Once up the stairs you have a nice view of the promenade, and the surroundings. We were quickly seated and warmly greeted by the staff. They seem to serve by committee here so we met numerous staff members during our meal. The service was quick, efficient, and obviously worked well together. We ordered a shared salad, the lovely K had the steak, Portuguese style and I the Pasta Puttanesca, along with a bottle of wine. The young man who brought us the wine was very nice, asked us how we had enjoyed our trip thus far and told us a bit about himself. Very well done. Our salad was delivered by another person along with the usual white vinegar, extra virgin olive, but also balsamic vinegar which is always an appreciated touch. Our dinners arrived piping hot, especially K's which was bubbling merrily when set down. The steak was a little on the chewy side, but the potatoes were super crispy and the gravy really good. The Puttanesca was good, not great, but was plentiful and well cooked. While we likely won't go all four nights we are in Portimão, but we will be back at least once more.

    This week we vacationed in Portimao and discovered this restaurant on day one. For the next four…read moredays, we enjoyed dinner by exploring the vast menu. The service was awesome and the food was unbelievable. We always started with the champagne sangria and the lemon sherbet was the kicker for this sangria. Have a look at my photos from the various dishes we had. What isn't included are the pizzas and the spaghetti bolognese. We typically don't stick with one restaurant while on vacation, but this was the exception. Stop by and give gave them a try. Enjoy!

    Very disappointed... food was good, bread was stale, service was okay until it took a half hour to…read moreget our check. The waiter knew we needed to leave but was determined to reset other tables. Then to top it off he added a gratuity for himself, underhanded and sneaky. I would stay clear.

    This place is recommended to us by a local, who told us, this is where locals go for seafood…read more The restaurant, along with several others, are located sort of under the bridge. You may be standing at the intersection and wondering where the restaurant is, and then look over the rails and see the sign. Somehow there seems to be a cluster of seafood restaurants in that space, but some of them are empty, with eager smiling ladies inviting you to go inside. Dona Barca not only has a bustling full house, they apparently took over more space across the alley. Even without my friend's recommendation it's clear which restaurant to go to. They have a large cooler displaying what fishes are available. And they do know how to cook their fishes. The sole we ordered was done to perfection, the meat still moist and tender. We also ordered the seafood rice. Sadly, maybe due to inflation, there was way more rice than seafood, and the broth tastes of tomato rather than the ocean's bounty. Only one prawn, a crab claw, plus a small amount of tiny bites of clam, octopus and shrimp that I had to dig around in the rice to find.
