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 terrace is an absolutely perfect setting to enjoy wine and dinner while the sun is setting. The food was beyond excellent. We started with a large plate of tapas/starters with glasses of house red wine. We then had delicious entrees. My wife had sea bass and I had black pork - both excellent. Finished with a traditional Algarvean rolled dessert with dried fruits and my wife had bread pudding. My two daughters also had wonderful kids' dinners and strawberry ice cream.
