Prazeres

Wonderful family-run restaurant in Albufeira. The food was fantastic and the service was warm and friendly. We had the seafood cataplana which was very tasty, and the house sangria was delicious as well.

Omg this place is easily the best restaurant I’ve been to in Albufeira ‼‼‼‼
Ordered three dishes, Grilled Octopus, seafood Cataplana, Squid ink Padella and all 3 were amazing and super tasty as well as huge portion..!! Especially octopus was very soft and juicy🐙❣.
Owner lady was super friendly, gave us a great recommendation for what to have, thank you😁.
We went during the low season, im sure this place would need booking during busy summer season!😉
Highly recommend this authentic and yummy , cozy restaurant when in Albufeira💛‼

Our group of three had a great dinner here! The lady running the show was so sweet and kind. We ordered grilled squid, codfish a braz, clams and grilled sea bass. We also got the house dessert and chocolate mousse which were a great recommendation. Would highly recommend!

Amazing food and best service ever! Can definitely recommend the sangria, chicken cataplana, and seafood cataplana. It was so delicious and Nella was the friendliest owner ever! ❤ We’ll be back!

The best authentic food. We enjoyed not only the taste of the food but also the service over the top. It's a family run restaurant. It's an amazing experience. Very friendly and helpful and more than very personable. The mother's smile and her welcoming face take your breath. The beautiful daughter who works as the waiters gave us the best experience. I love the place and 100% recommend.

Very good restaurant to eat frish fish!

One of the best places in Albufeira Old Town.

We ate here on our family holiday last week and we loved it!

The seafood paella was fantastic, and the atmosphere was so relaxed and friendly. The restaraunt is a family run business and you can feel the family vibe as soon as you enter

It is refreshing that you can browse the menu from outside with no pressure to enter, unlike other places in old town where you have a menu thrown in your face and almost be dragged inside by staff on the street!

Would recommend Prazeres as the best place for families to eat in Albufeira old town

Been coming to Albufeira for 20 years and have always been worried about going somewhere so close to the main square.
However this place is amazing. Lovely Steak Portuguese style, but the lamb stew was different level, just amazing.
Fantastic local food, no frills, wonderful service, great atmosphere. Very highly recommended will definitely be back.

We ordered a seafood cataplana for 2 and a rice with seafood for 1 for us 2 plus our 2 kids. That was more than enough. The food was really good and seafood was fresh. We also took the litter of sangria for 16 euros and it was worth it: not too sweet, with a nice fruit taste. The cataplana with seafood is generous and just perfect 😍

Very glad we stumbled upon this restaurant and got to eat here before they closed for the holidays. An absolutely delicious meal, we had the Portuguese style steak, and their lemon sole. Both were excellent. The fresh homemade desserts were also terrific! Owner was very friendly and made our meal an enjoyable one. Slightly off that main square, but for an authentic meal like this, worth looking for it!

The chicken and seafood paella was SO good. We also had a refreshing mixed and tomato salad.

The paellas were fresh and had bold delicious flavor. The chicken was cooked to perfection and the beans were a delicious touch.

Highly recommend. Great service - very thoughtful and quick. Would go again.

Superb family run business with great food as well as service. Prices are also very reasonable and portions very generous.

Recommended dished : grilled octopus & paella 🥘

If we visit algarve again , we will definitely eat here again.

Discovered this amazing Portuguese restaurant off the main tourist street. My husband enjoyed the grouper served with a light sauce and vegetables. I tried a dish served with an egg and ham over meat and a garlic spiced sauce. The waitress showed us the desserts that she had prepared-a lovely coffee carmel pudding and a fig cake with almonds. Absolutely delicious!

The food and the service were very good. The lady who served us was very attentive and very friendly. Loved the place and definitely come back again.

We tried Monk Fish Cataplana and enjoyed it a lot. The family atmosphere in the restaurant is really nice, very friendly and helpful service. The Dessert of the House was delicious. What we also loved about the place was that they don’t try to bait you! Around the corner others almost grab your arm for you to come in.

First time visit and we've reserved a table for the weekend! Beautiful food, amazing place. Staff are so nice and helpful.
If you are looking for a traditional Portuguese meal please go here x

Great little restaurant that's less than a minute from the main square. Had the seafood paella and Octopus from the specials menu, generous portions and very tasty! If you haven't had octopus before, this is the place to give it a go

The service was great and the food was tasty. I got the Portuguese style steak and my parents got the vegetarian paella and the sea bass and everything by was delicious. One of our best meals in Portugal. I got the piri piri sauce on the side with my steak and it was fire and tasty!

Great choice of fish dishes including the cataplana and the paella dishes. Very popular as the food is exquisite and the staff are very friendly and wonderful. We dined there twice out of 5 days as it was so special.

The fish I got was amazing. The potatoes and veg were perfectly cooked too. Lastly, the lady that served me was Portuguese and very welcoming. 10/10 would recommend.
