Having read the great reviews we took the trouble to book a table and walk to find this "hidden gem". Either it was the chef's night off or something was badly wrong in the kitchen but it took for ever to have our meal. We ordered a bottle of green wine - fine. Started off outside but it got a...

We went to O Lusitano due to it being described as a local restaurant and we were not disappointed, so much so that we went back two nights on the row. We wouldn't normally eat in the same place twice but we enjoyed it so much we cannot recommend it highly enough. The food was exceptional, we had beautiful fresh... More

This is a really good example of a business that cares about its product. We look at dining out as more that food. It's an adventure and experience. Pedro excelled in all areas. You really have to try this if you like food. If you're after beer and burgers and it and leave it to fine diners. It's certainly several... More

We missed finding O Lusitano on the first attempt, ending up at Il Cappucino which is also worth a visit. On the second attempt we found it! The issue for the geographically challenged is that the address leads you up a side street, and you shouldn't do this! From the Worm Roundabout head directly north to the second roundabout, only...

hard to find and cant really explain, i got my directions from another review in trip advisor this was delicious myself, girlfriend and 5 year old went we had the mussles to start, shared meat and fish cataplana for main and had a carob bean pudding - amazing :) happy eating

I had the pepper steak and it was delicious. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was bustling and fun.

Just back from a week in Albufeira and this restaurant is always on our 'must go' list. Pedro is always very welcoming and his food and wine are excellent. He is always glad to help and advise on the menu.Some people find it hard to locate but other reviewers have already given good directions so I won't repeat them. Take... More

Found this lovely restaurant while walking and decided to visit one evening. So glad we did! We went on Friday night and had one of the best meals of our holiday (pity we'd left it till the last night of our break!) I had soup for starter, my husband had grilled sausage, we both opted for the portuguese steak for... More
