Absolutely amazing! The variety of fresh fish was impressive and tasted incredible, with the drinks just as good. The owners were so welcoming and staff were attentive without being overbearing. You can tell there’s real passion behind the scenes and they genuinely care about each customer, highly recommend and will definitely be back!
Love this place. It’s a genuine Portuguese restaurant serving good quality, good value food. Staff are efficient and very friendly. Home cooked chips (not oven or frozen - having lived here for years when fresh was always the case but not always so now, is important to me) fresh fish and traditional meat dishes. Can get busy - good to book.
Hidden gem between Olhão & Fuzeta. You know it’s good when you see all the locals.. amazing food, great prices, free arming and Linda and Catia with the best service. We will be back when in Olhão!
The car park is always on the full side at lunchtime, and there’s a good reason why - fabulous fresh food and good prices. The owners father was a fisherman, so he knows his products well! Good selection of fresh fish, squid, monkfish etc and great grilled meat choices. They are very flexible and will mix and match or do a large plate of various seafood to share. Friendly service and with a smile! So rarely found! Also … great home made chips ⭐
We visited for the first time with friends who had been before. There is a reason they love this place. The food was delicious and plentiful, the owners were very friendly and greeted each table with a smile, and the staff were very attentive. You can tell everyone enjoys being there and feels like family. We will return with more friends!
We came approach Flor dos Cavacos accidentally in a small village Moncarapacho. We were surprised by the home made traditional food served by friendly owner and his staff. Definitely recommended!
Great food and service. Both the meat dishes as well as fresh fish were great. We had picanha, some fish they recommended for the day, and a steak + sides. All were very good. Owner is very friendly and passionate. It’s a place full of locals, for good reasons. We paid 40€ for 3 meals + drinks.
Our favorite restaurant in the Algarve. The best fish guaranteed, the staff are always very friendly and attentive. Always very busy, recommend booking. Good selection of wines. Great value
