Everything was tasty, and some flavour combinations were unexpectedly good. The only negative part, and the reason I cannot give it 5 stars is that we found that the main course (scalops over truffle risotto) was slightly salty. The service as impecable and the setting quite nice outside.

Great food! The scallops starter, the lamb and the surprise lobster tail on the plate were the best! We had been looking forward to this meal all week and were so happy we booked a table. It is old school and that’s what we loved. It was also romantic and like taking a step back in time. We got to meet Willie as well and he’s very welcoming and gracious. The waitstaff was also great and we will be back!

Best restaurant in Almancil and Vilamoura. Pure flavors, fantastic food from chef and owner Willie. Michelin Star. Intimate cozy, homely, 8 tables, attention, professional but not stiff. Close to Hilton and Café del arte, extensive menu and separate vegetarian menu with 6 vegetarian dishes! Main courses from 18.50 - 38.00 euros

We went for a dinner as a group of 4. The food was delicious, some reviews on here quote it as slightly old school and I think that is fair compared to other places that I have dined however the food was very tasty and I would definitely recommend a trip here. In particular the seafood ravioli and the Miele feuille were superb.

Incredible food! I suffer with awkward allergies and they made me some excellent food. The staff are always attentive, polite and really helpful. Highly recommend and will always come back.

Excellent food and service. Prices far below that of a Michelin starred restaurant.

Lovely ambience, good service but not over the top. Nice setting, feels homely and relaxing. Staff lovely and spoke many languages. Amazing food, with a lovely selection on the menu and great mini-courses. We got to talk to Willie himself, who was a lovely man to talk to. Overall a great experience, would love to come back again. Ash Pasta Score: 10/10

Willies never fails me; the food is exquisite; you can tell he puts his heart and soul into his plates. If you're travelling to Portugal, try and call and get booked early as it gets busy quickly.

Good food, super helpful staff. Just stopped for an omelette and a salmon burger in the middle of the day. The food was superb and not so expensive as you would imagine taking consideration of the surroundings and view. Out door seating overlooks the marina.

Came down to the Marina to try and find a good restaurant and found a winner, a funky upscale restaurant with a nautical vibe. We had the filet steak, clams special, beef carpaccio and burrada salad. All were prepared perfectly, great taste and presentation. Service was also excellent. Prices are typical for the restaurants around the marina but well worth the slightly higher price. We live close by and will definitely be back. BTW the house red wine was excellent.

What a deliscious and exciting find! A mix of Swedish and Portuguese, I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. Make sure you have the gravlax to start and the apple tart to finish! (the Duck was delicious too!)

Never had a shrimp omelette before but it worked. Lovely club too

Had a meal here last night. Fabulous food great service and the setting is wonderful. Loved every minute.

For starters we had grilled octopus and king prawns in piri piri sauce. Was really, really good. For the main course we had a sea plate for two, which was a filet of a sea bass with vegetables (we expected 3 fishes since it was a plate for two). The main course was also really good. For desert we had chocolate mousse and creme brulee. Was really delicios. Everthing was followed with a few beers, bottle of domestic Akvavit wine and sparkling water. Two things that disappointed us were that there was no complementary drinks included for the price we paid and a sea plate for two had only 1 type of fish. All the stuff was really nice, friendly amd professional.

One of the best restaurants in vilamoura, fantastic fresh seafood 👌 in a lovely setting. Brilliant staff. A must go if near the marina.

Came back twice as I loved the vegan options so much! I had the hummus toast, soup and tofu with vegetables. My boyfriend is Swedish and he loved the toast skagen! Would strongly recommend

We had a wonderful dining experience here. The staff were very friendly and the service was excellent. The food and drink was exceptional. Would definitely recommend and would come here again. Thank you.

We celebrated my girlfriends’ birthday in there, and the experience was all-in-all just great. She (an Algarve local) ordered her childhood usual (shrimp tagliolini) and it was as amazing as she remembers it. I ordered the seafood Cataplana to try something traditional and it was simply exquisite. They bring it in the authentic pot and progressively add in from it to your plate, the dish felt endless, extremely filling, and very tasty. The staff were nice and helpful, the price-quality ratio is reasonable. All-in-all, a great experience, with the small caveat that the waiting time to be seated and then served is relatively high, so that should be accounted for.

Had breakfast here twice in one week! Staff great, food really good and the view in the morning onto the marina is beautiful! Omelette was top notch as was club sambo. Nice chips and lovely coffee! Go here for breakfast on the marina much better priced than other options around

What a rollercoaster. Arrived to bad news: our marina side table had been given away. Then proceeded a veritable circus act of incorrect orders, wrong food being delivered to the table, drinks forgotten, wine buckets dropped and even the storage of our wines on the table next to us (much to ours and their confusion and amusement). At one point, because we had to pick an alternative wine because they ran out of ours, the waiter topped up some glasses providing an intriguing mix of wines. But hey, it's all white wine right? All the chaos actually helped the initially frosty staff warm to us in their embarrassment and when the correct food finally arrived it was faultless. Great food, nice location and I expect just a bad night.

Touristic restaurant with nice location - opportunity to sit at the terrace next to the harbor. Food was good, staff was polite, but service was a tad slow. Price-quality very much ok.

Lovely restaurant with a brilliant view of the beach when you sit outside, especially during sunset. All great cocktails, though my favourite was the cocktail with the champagne! One of the best ones I’ve had - very sweet and simply unreal! All the vegetarians at the table were in love with the Tom Yum Jay soup! I don’t recall what mains we ordered, but the chicken one was incredible! The only thing I didn’t like was the fried tofu! Too bland for my liking, but I think it’s just a personal opinion. Bartenders and waiters were super friendly!

We went for lunch when we arrived in Quarteira when we arrived and 6 weeks later went back for dinner. Just an excellent restaurant and a MUST to visit. The best food and staff and a genuinely unique place to eat.

This was one of the most enjoyable experiences I have had in a while. The location right on the beach just before sunset was spectacular. The staff were so attentive and friendly. They just couldn't do enough for us even supplying blankets when the sun had gone down. The food was excellent and presented beautifully. We went for the set menu which did not disappoint. I would highly recommend a visit.

Bit out of the way but the food is worth it. Good place to for with friends nice selection of wines and cocktails. The service was good once when we got sat down but felt a little ignored when we first arrived. Good Thai food selection that was really god quality.

Awesome restaurant on the beach. Quality food and service. Amazing oysters.Ask for Diogo, an excellent waiter. All staff very very friendly. I’ve been coming here for the past 6 years. the service is consistently the highest quality.

The food here is fantastic - got chicken satay starters and spicy noodles as a main. Nice cocktails too. However, the same can’t be said for customer service. Our waiter was lovely. However, when we booked I had to put down a €40 deposit, which for 2 people is not needed in my opinion. The €40 came out of my revolut, and that night, they attempted to take another €40. Thankfully it wasn’t on my card. We arrived to the restaurant and our booking had not been confirmed, even though it had gone through my card. None of this is explained on the website, so when our bill arrived, we asked would the deposit be taken off it. The manager told us that they weren’t sure where the money was as my booking wasn’t confirmed. She told me to email a few days later if it wasn’t back in my account. She was quite helpful. I emailed a few days later as the €40 still had not been returned. The response from thai beach club simply read- ‘Well, we didn't collect any deposit as you can prove by the images below.’ I eventually had to contact revolut as I got no explanation from thai beach club. It turned out that the €40 was on hold, which is fine and expected. If this had just been explained then I could have saved myself a lot of time. This however doesn’t explain the additional 40 that they attempted to take or the fact that it never confirmed my booking. It’s a pity that I had to spend so long just trying to figure out how to get my deposit back, and that thai beach club were unbelievably rude about it. If a restaurant is using a platform such as this for bookings, they need to be able to explain to people how it works. It’s only €40 at the end of the day, but it soured my experience and I wouldn’t be inclined to return again. I eventually got my money back a week later.! Including pics of the food as it was quite nice. Maybe just try do a walk-in rather than booking and save yourself the hassle!

Just had the most amazing night here. Food is great but the atmosphere is electric. Brilliant music, and the staff are second to none. Expect Dancing on chairs and incredible sunset

Really nice authentic Thai restaurant. Manuel, his brother and the team are incredible hosts in a tranquil setting. The oysters were amazing along with all the other dishes we had. Can’t wait to visit again 😊

Best Thai food I've had outside of Thailand. Our table was literally silent once the food arrived apart from the odd hum of delight. My friend wished she had bought a takeaway to bring back to London 🤣🤣 Excellent customer service from Francisco! Staff were playful and it looked like they were having fun. Wished we could have stayed for the party but had to get an early night. Will definitely be back again ❣️

An incredible setting on the sand overlooking praia falesia and the Atlantic. The service was top notch, and the food was very good. Prices are indicative of the location and the views. our generous two course lunch for two with drinks was around 80€. they also offer an equally generous set menu for 25€ at lunch and 30€ for dinner. suggest calling ahead as they do close for private events often.

06.06.2023 Came for dinner. Staff were friendly but service was quite slow. Waiting a long time to eat and then between each course. Food was great when it eventually arrived. Kids menu available. Lovely view of the beach and can witness a beautiful sunset.

Best night ever last night! It was the last night of a hen weekend, we expected to enjoy some nice food with a bit of music. OMG it was so much more, absolutely brilliant!

What a spectacular event the Bubbles and View at the Thai Beach club . Everything was perfect ! The view of the beach , the staff that engage with the customers like I had seen nowhere in Vilamoura, the food Was completely impeccable on every aspect ! And the event Bubbles and View , which was the first we attended, was superbly organized and we had lots of fun during the evening and met new friends!

Wow. This place is incredible. Everything down to the details in the decor, the amazing staff, the delicious food, the location is beyond amazing. This is my favorite restaurant I have ever been to! It has vegetarian Thai food on the beach, which is the combination of all of my favorite things!! The decor was elegant and boho. The nuetral colors with the gold accent was beautiful.

Nice place, very sunny but it’s too overpriced. Payed 18€ for 2 portions of chips and green tea 🤷🏼‍♀️ and the service not the best either.

Expensive for what it is, but if you're looking to properly treat yourself, go for it. Day beds are super comfy, and the staff are brilliant. I'd suggest trying the sun loungers for your first visit.

Extremely expensive for what you receive. We booked a front row pair of beds which had incredible views of the sea, however, the fruit bowl and small bottles of water were inadequate for the price paid. Also, whilst the staff were friendly it was incredibly difficult to get their attention and we spent a good portion of the day trying to order a drink or food, all of which were overpriced. I had the deep sea calamari which arrived cold and on top of a very small salad. The afternoon was spent surrounded by seagulls and after ordering one more drink we decided to leave. We did have a relaxing time and the music was nice, however, for the price paid it really was not up to the standard we expected and unless prices are seriously dropped or the food and service is greatly improved we would not return. This beach club could be incredible but sadly is not run in a way that enables this currently.

Nice setting ,lovely beach ⛱️ but here's the Rub , Truly the service on offer is totally overpriced . The Simplist thing like the sangria 🛑double the normal price , The ice chilled cider somersby over baring with ice ,so your literally paying for ice as opposed to a full pint . Food was nice ,but generally speaking it's a overpriced Commerical enterprise,yes make a profit but don't fleece the punter.

Very relaxing day altogether with good staff and music. Free fruit and water is a good touch upon arrival. Food there is very good and reasonably priced however the drinks are very expensive would be the only downfall. Would definitely return.

Is it worth the money? No. Are the drinks and food worth the money? No. Would we go again? No. The only reason this receives 3 stars is due to the comfortable sun loungers and the beach view. Unfortunately for the price you pay you don't receive the service you would expect. Dont be excited about your complimentary welcome tray of fresh fruit and mineral water as it wasn't exactly impressive. Although when speaking with the staff they were very friendly it unfortunately took a long time to get the attention of anyone to order items from the menu and I had to go and find someone to get a menu in the first place. When you did manage to order, everything was extremely expensive, and unjustifiably so. The food wasn't worth the cost, dry and tasteless. The drinks were okay but not worth a premium cocktail bars prices. You should also expect to be hassled by beach sellers trying to flog you cheap items all day, as well as the seagulls. This beach club could be incredible, and if they perhaps installed a QR Code system to order food and drinks to your lounger at a more reasonable price, it would make the experience a whole lot better. Perhaps a lesson learnt not to trust everything recommended on TikTok. I would suggest spending your money on a boat trip or another club instead. We wouldn't return.

Food was nice if not overpriced a bit. Music only started at 3pm, 5 hours after we arrived so quiet until then. Waiters kept forgetting stuff on occasions. Overall not bad.

Worth the money. €120 to get a decent seat then the cocktails and a salad. .. easy spend over €500 in an afternoon. It is a bit overpriced in all honesty but such a relaxing place to chill. I will be back 😀

Not really the 5 star experience it portrays in adverts. €20 glass of warm champagne and limited list of boring overpriced food disappointing. Nice clean seats and loungers part make up for it.

Poolside - beautiful location, the pool is lovely, staff were friendly and service was good, also good food and drinks - my partner and I had the champagne and fruit with our beds which was lovely and then also ordered nachos (had to pay extra to add sour cream as strangely it wasn’t part of the nachos?). Drinks we had were good, the puro milkshake, to be specific, was lovely! The DJ and band was good, it was the Friday Live it Up event and got everyone in a good mood. Only downsides was we found it hard to find the entrance and the sunbeds were damp so when we sat on them it was cold and wet (however quickly solved by putting another towel under). Would definitely return, have suggested it to friends also

Fantastic service, great cocktails, amazing food, awesome playlist and very comfy beds! I’m a big lover of beach clubs and this one is great!

PuroBeach - Poolside We went to the pool for a hen do day out. We were in the corner area by the bar. It was a nice “VIP” area. We were welcomed with 3 bottles of champagne & 2 long trays of fresh fruit. The staff were very friendly & quite attentive. We ordered several rounds of drinks & food. Drinks were lovely, food was below average for the prices. The chicken Caesar salad wasn’t very nice - the chicken was nearly frozen it was so cold & there was barely any salad dressing. The salad dressing tasted like mayonnaise not Caesar dressing. The portion sizes for some items were massive while others were barely enough for one. PuroBeach - Beach side My friend & I reserved a front row sun bed each. We were given a bottle of water & 2 slices of pineapple, 2 slices of honeydew & a few grapes. When we were served this we asked for a menu. It took approximately 40mins for a waiter to pass by us to once again request a menu. Once the menu was given to us we waited another 20 mins for someone to take our order. It’s the same menu as the poolside. Also the sun Beds are quite a distance from the actual water. The photos are quite deceptive. If you’re looking for more of a party then definitely head to poolside where the service is better, the music is better & general ambiance is better.

We have 16 people. Orders were taken effectively and efficiently. No mistakes. Split bills were all correct. Food was good and on the small portion side but ok for me.

Lovely atmosphere and great service. The food was delicious.

Unreal ‘cover’ as we call it. Really quick service times and very friendly staff. The pasta here is 100% the best pasta I’ve ever had here in portugal and in the UK. It is absolutely amazing!

Overall my wife and I had a pleasant experience here. The staff were very pleasant and the food served was of good standard. The only negative being that it was a bit pricey but this is common with all the restaurants in the Marina area.

A good Italian restaurant in the marina of Vilamoura with a nice view on the harbour and fantastic yachts. The price are a bit high but the quality is in the plate. The service is nice and we appreciated blankets when the wind was coming... We disliked the boss attitude with the staff pushing them and making pressure in front of the clients who were enjoying their meal.

Wonderful Italian spot along the marina; probably one of the biggest restaurants and certainly one of the busiest! Great range of dishes and each pasta dish comes with a healthy serving--recommend the carbonara, tagliolini al nero, and calamari. The restaurant is always pretty busy in the evenings and fills up fast--get there before 7pm (during busy summer) if you don't have a reservation to avoid disappointment! The staff are really welcoming and have a great buzz about them--service can be a bit slow but somewhat expected given how busy it gets!

Very nice experience. We don’t like being near smokers so they sat us at the very opening to the inside area so we could people watch. My wife had the tuna carpaccio and the salmon which were done with perfection. Asked for a steak but done in a Portuguese manner so they did it off menu with a thin slice of ham and an egg on top. Beautifully prepared and presented. Kudos to Robert and the staff for accommodating me!

Great food, great service. good range of food choices from risotto to steaks and seafood. I chose the scallop risotto.It's one of the best risottos I've eaten. Also a good wine list. I must if our visiting vilamoura marina

We were on the hunt for a good pasta on the marina and Il Lamparo delivered. The service was excellent, and all waiters were very attentive. There is an option of a €3.50PP cover charge which comes with olives, breads, and butter, which was worth having. Just let the waiters know if you do not want this. We had calamari fritti and garlic bread to start, which came out in good time and a great option to share. Once these were finished, the waiters requested our mains come out. Our 2 pasta dishes were well presented, a great portion size, and absolutely delicious. They also came with a pot of parmesan cheese. I can definitely recommend the Tagliatelle with Funghi and Gorgonzola! Overall, we had a great meal and would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a nice italien on the marina front.

Really enjoyed this restaurant. Great location, staff were attentive and friendly, food was prepared perfectly. Price seemed pretty reasonable compared to other places we tried in the marina.

I visited here 8 years ago and Loved it! The chilli oil is to die for as well as the food…I came back this week, hoping standard would be kept…it’s become even better to a point I visited multiple times (not something I do very often!). Great food and beautiful setting but more importantly the staff is incredible, mostly Joao, an actual asset to this restaurant! One of the reasons I returned apart from the food!

We went there twice, although we were much happier the first time. In June, the staff was amazing and the food was absolutely brilliant. We loved every single second of our experience. 10/10 However, when we went in July they didn't want to give us a table because we were Portuguese. They did this to other Portuguese couples. We were told we had to wait 45min because we didn't have a reservation and then we overheard the staff saying they could fit an English couple, with no reservation, just next to us, who arrived later. Of course we stayed and ended up getting a table, because they realised we heard everything and felt too uncomfortable to send us away after that. The food was a solid 9/10 but I'm lowering my review because of their attitude.
