We had a few options for dinner but decided to give The Market a try. We both agreed that this was the best idea we could have made. The restaurant had a calm and sophisticated atmosphere. I liked that the tables were not squashed together like they are in other restaurants along the strip. The decor was clean and fresh (the toilets were lovely and smelt like peach) and all of the waiters and waitresses were polite and helpful.
We ordered the red sangria first. With the first sip, both of our eyes widened. I did not expect to be so impressed with sangria but the taste was incredible, perfectly balanced and gorgeous tastes of fresh cinnamon and mint.
We then shared 'pica pau' beef strips to start, which came with handmade potato, sweet potato and beetroot crisps. We loved it, my partner was blown away by the sauce and if we were at home I think he would have licked the bowl!
I then had tuna loin with lime risotto. The tuna melted in my mouth and paired brilliantly with the refreshing lime risotto. My partner had the Iberian pork ribs and three times potatoes, which he highly praised. I tried one of the ribs and it had an incredible smokey taste and, again, melted in your mouth.
I wish we had room for dessert.
Thank you for a lovely evening.

We ate here while on holiday for our 4th wedding anniversary. The decor is beautiful. The lady waiting on our table was so lovely. She recommended a really nice wine. The food was amazing. The kitchen is quite open and you can see a a bit of cooking goimg on and they plate up right at the front. We really Cannot fault a thing

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left the staff couldn’t do enough for us, they are very polite and it’s the best service we received anywhere in albufeira. The food was lovely, I especially enjoyed the shrimp starter. A couple of people have wrote its over priced but you get what you pay for, good quality food. We ate at other places near by but the food wasn't half as good as wasn't actually that much cheaper.

We didn’t know where to eat so we checked on trip advisor on where was highly rated in the area and we were not disappointed!, the staff were amazing and very polite, then we started on our starters I went with crispy chicken sate which were beautiful, for my main I went with the chicken piri piri thighs which were so tasty and cooked to perfection.

For my desert I went with the salt and pepper chocolate mousse, I didn’t know salt and pepper went with chocolate mousse until now and can say it was absolutely amazing

I have been to albufeira twice now and tried a lot of places out and I can say this is the best restaurant I have been too.

I highly recommend to anybody who’s looking for somewhere to go
