O Cais Bistro & Steak Boutique

What a cosy restaurant with nice decoration and real table linen! Great service as well! We ordered steak and it was very well prepared! The presentation was also perfect with fresh fruit. The sauces that we had with the steak were really delicious (pepper/mushroom/blue cheese)! One of the best steaks we ever have eated, so tender ! We can highly recommend this restaurant! One of the best restaurants of Silves. Perfect for a night out for a nice dining experience! Very reasonable pricing for the quality of food as well!

Small, intimate restaurant with very good food at reasonable prices! I had a very good steak with sautéed new potatoes and my wife had a very good risotto.

Nuno the owner/chef stopped by and was super friendly while Sofia provided excellent service and was also very nice.

We will definitely be back!

We met friends here for dinner. One of the best meals we had while in Portugal. The group ordered the Camembert cheese plate and spareribs appetizers. Both were outstanding. I got a Caesar salad that was very large and delicious, entrees included mushroom risotto, surf and turf, steak and a burger. Every was pleased and the steaks were excellent and cooked perfectly. The wine was perfect. We unfortunately did not have room for dessert.

Excellent value, food and tue staff were so welcoming, tue chef came out to ask if everything was ok. The inside of the restaurant had a lot of character and the ambience was beautiful.

We can’t wait to return!

We have eaten here 4 times in 3 weeks- fabulous food, the Thai prawn tastes authentic, the chicken curry can be made very spicy & the steaks are perfectly cooked & we all enjoyed the chicken satay & curried prawn starters. Staff are very attentive & the chef often comes up to talk & make sure your meal is to your liking. A lovely little restaurant that we would highly recommend- best in Silves for us.

Another superb dining experience at this nicely located restaurant. Steaks served were good quality, especially the filet. Service and staff were also very good and this aspect saved a potential 4 star review based on the billing logistics - only when presented with the final bill were we told that the 'card machine had a problem' and we could use cash of a nearby ATM - so cash only :-( that left a sour taste as it could have bene highlighted at the start of the evening. Overall however, a restaurant worth visiting with some great work by the chef and staff.

A spur of the minute decision with no reservation, and yet we were truly made to feel welcome. Nothing was too much trouble for the front of house staff.
It was really delicious food, cooked exactly as we requested-beef and so tender too. Prawns succulent, too.

An outstanding restaurante that is a must if you visit Silves. The food quality we experienced was outstanding, especially the enormous, tender entrecôte steaks. Prices that are more than reasonable, first-class service from family members and a super ambience. Don’t miss it!

Fabulous steaks, great service very friendly and professional, lovely rustic building and fantastic atmosphere

The best food I've had for the whole trip! Great thai curry, not too spicy and a great balance of spices. The jasmine rice was amazing! Very nice staff as well!

O Cais Bistro & Steak Boutique is a hidden gem that exceeded my culinary expectations. Located in Silves, this restaurant offers a delightful dining experience that combines the charm of a bistro with the flavors of a top-notch steakhouse.

The ambiance at O Cais Bistro & Steak Boutique is simply enchanting. With its cozy and intimate atmosphere, it's the perfect place for a romantic dinner or a special occasion. The décor is tastefully done, with attention to detail that enhances the overall dining experience.

Stumbled across this restaurant with my family (partner,kids and parents) last night and decided to give it a try. So pleased we did. What a find! Beautiful decor, exceptional food and outstanding service. They even catered for the “picky eater” of the group to ensure all 8 of us had an enjoyable experience.

We will return to eat on another occasion
Portugese hospitality at its best

Excellent food, well prepared. All incrediants where fresh. The service and also the chef are very friendly and welcoming. We can definitely recommend eating here, and they have much more then steaks :)

Nuno the owner and chef is excellent takes time out to listen to you and your needs . His steaks are made to perfection. His fish and chips are light and the portions are very generous. He also does excellent desserts that just melt in your mouth. His waiter Tia is very alert and service is spot on. If in Silves it is definitely worth a visit.

Have been many times before when it was a bar, now the new owners have made it in to a hugely improved restaurant in a spectacular building keeping much of its old charm. The service was first class, spoke English and the food was probably the best I've had in a restaurant. Good efficient service with a nice ambience, what more can you ask for.

Twenty of us booked this late in the day but they said they would accommodate us all.
We arrived at 9:30pm, we had bread & pate, just to null our hunger.
I had the Tiger Prawns for starters, followed by the Tuna steak with sauté potatoes.
I also tasted the pepper steak that a friend had, it was in the peppercorn sauce & delicious too.
They done ever so well to cook & serve us all, I think there was only one chef, the food was delicious & I recommend it.
We will definitely return when next in Silves.

We are so happy to have this topclass restaurant near our home.
Allways fantastic work from the kitchen and on the top, a super service.
Our recomendation from the menu, try them all!!
