Had dinner in O Arco with 3 friends food wholesome, service good ,staff friendly would like to visit again when in Quarteira.

Six of us dined here while on holiday early May. Although very quiet, you could not fault the place. Service was discrete and the food was exceptional. Great advice regarding wines, and a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

We dined here on two occassions about 4/5 years ago and we thought the food was excellent.Just over one week ago,on 21st.April,2013,when on a trip to Vilamoura,we revisited in the hope that it was still as good as we remembered.Indeed it was,& even probably better.It's not cheap,but they do try unusual dishes here.Fish with orange,my wife's choice,& fish with cooked...

Have been coming to the Algarve for about 20years and we try not to leave out this restaurant on our list of places to go. John is very a very good host and his team consistently serve very good local cuisine. Great night out!

An overall unsatisfying experience as the price didnt reflect either the level of service or the food. The service was slow and the food nothing to write home about. Sorry, wouldn't go back, would rather go to Bem Bom if... More

Great food and service. 2 persons 1 entree, 2 mains, 1 bottle wine, 1 desert for 2, about 80 euros. Not exactly economic, but definitely going back sometime.

A restaurant never to be missed by anyone going to Portugal. A couple and a family always welcomed by John . Have recommended for 12years to every one who asks me about Portugal . Melba toast and pate ice cream would love delivered anytime

Having previously eaten at Jorge do Peixe and Mr Freddie's we were rather disappointed with O Arco. It simply was not up to their standard. The excellent ice cream did not redeem the fish suffocated by a mass of crushed almonds, average starters and very average lamb cutlets.
