A Casa do Avô

The best place we've eaten in Portugal! Got the 3 course set menu with the sea bass main. Can't recommend it enough! The sheer amount of tapas you get for the first course is incredible! Would definitely recommend.

You simply cannot go wrong. Exceptional service. Couldn't finish my steak, so they packed it for me and I had a brilliant steak sandwich the next day.
Highly recommend you arrive hungry as there is a lot to eat.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Restaurant deserves 10 Stars! You won’t believe it! We selected the set menu and there are no regrets. It was A M A Z I NG! Started with prawns and a variety of entries. Then the tuna and the bass were absolute great! They were cooked just in the right term. The sangria super fruity and fresh and to finish Honey Flan, absolutely love it. For 21 € per person you will find a great cost and benefit balance. Cannot recommend it enough! On top, the person who served was extremely gentle. Simply great restaurant!

Wonderful original Portuguese food, had the three course special and to be honest the tapas starter would probably have been suffice, (with at least 8 separate dishes), but it was followed by a a delicious lamb stew and a simple but tasty apple pie, such good food with friendly attentive waiter service.
Very happy to recommend this restaurant.

A charming place that I visited for the first time 5 years ago and had to come back when I was close by again! I remembered the amazing tapas buffet and was so impressed that they hadn't used covid as an excuse to drop that aspect of the experience but now bring you heaps of tapas to the table as a starter! My partner whom it was his first visit couldn't believe his eyes with the amount we had between us. It's wonderful quality food and loads of it for €19.99 for the 3 course menu, so a real experience to enjoy when you're in the area. I really recommend to tourists to get the chance to try some new flavours and local foods.

Very nice restaurant for good food in a beautiful setting. They have indoor seating but also a great outdoor terrace looking towards agricultural lands... The food served is made with lots of care. In the evening start with apetizers made with local ingredients, afterwards choose a main dish and deserts (19,95€). All very good! And lots of choice for food wines, by the glass or bottles. At lunch time there is also a set menu for a great price! Nuno and his team will ensure you have a great meal here.

We went to this restaurant following positive reviews. We were not disappointed. From the moment we arrived until we left the service was friendly and genuine and the food worthy of a repeat visit. Why would we go anywhere else when we felt we had stumbled on such a gem of a restaurant.

Excellent selection of tapas and 'prato do dia', coffee and water for €11,90. Very friendly owner, great service in a relaxed setting. Well worth a visit.
Sunday buffet is EXCELLENT

Honestly best food I’ve had in albufeira, the staff were so lovely and very attentive to the right degree. Highly recommend the tuna was out of this world.

Had an amazing lunch here. 10 euro for unlimited plates (30 different plates to choose from) including a bottle of water and a coffee. Good quality, recommend highly and going back for dinner soon!

EXTREMELY PLEASED! Told them I'm vegan and they were more than happy to show me vegan options in their buffée and also made me some grilled tofu with veggies and rice as the main course. Also their lemon sorbet was delicious! Wonderful service.

This is one of the best restaurants you can find in Albufeira for portuguese food. The food is just delicious and very fresh. And the portions are huge! For both lunch and dinner there are menus, and they are very affordable (10 eur for lunch, 20 for dinner). We got so much food we could not get to desert. I can recommend the cataplana and the grilled fish. The white sangria was also very tasty.

Great place to go for good quality "português" food. Great variety, high quality and excellent service. Authentic atmosphere with nic e outside area as well. Great wine list with excellent wines very well. Priced. This great wine in pics was 35 euros and was excellent. So good quality food and service and well. Priced. Can recommend.

I have been a regular visitor for the last 12 years in the company of friends and relations of mine. We keep returning because the food and the wines are outstanding and served to the highest order every time we visit.

Beautiful food, wine and lovely staff. Amazing value for money, we paid €150 including tip between three for 2 courses and 2 bottles of wine, and we were too full! The best food we’ve had here. Go here to escape the more touristy restaurants of Albufeira!

Food amazing and lots of it, decently priced very nice owner, and staff, nothing was rushed. A lovely little gem not far from our Villa

What a great place to dine. The interior is welcoming and there is an inviting terrace and garden. We went at lunchtime and were shown to our table outside.
Lunch was a help-your-self buffet with a vast selection of tapas as well as a meat dish and fish dish.
Amazing food, excellent service and very reasonably priced we could not ask for more.

Been there twice within a few months and I walked out super happy both times. The tapas offered were exquisite. I had a Dourada the first time and a bife portuguesa the 2nd time ... absolutely yummy. Thanks Nuno for being such a good host!

A fabulous traditional Portuguese restaurant. As an ex chef…Best meal we had while on holiday with very reasonable prices and good portion sizes. Makes a nice change to overinflated prices for beachside locations. Very friendly staff who couldn’t do enough for us!! Bit of a hidden gem if you like great food!!
To give you a price guide, they do a lunch 3 course meal from Wednesday to Friday for 11€ and set evening dinner for around 20€. A la carte dishes are all very well priced. Starters through to desserts were great!!

Truly fantastic ! We chose the price fix menu - starters, main , dessert. All excellent, including the value. A plethora of delicious tapas for starters we really enjoyed. We chose sea bass for our main - was fresh and delicious. We were happily full - so much great food! Dessert included we couldn’t resist and also delicious. Nuno was a pleasure to meet and chat with, very attentive, and we appreciated his wine suggestions as well. Clean environment and washrooms - excellent.
We thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience and cannot wait to go back. Very much recommend.
