Taberna Vicentina

Delicious food, esp. garlic shrimps and the dessert Dom Rodrigo, very nice staff. Would love to come back

One of the best restaurants we ate at in Albufeira! We came back after the first night. The food was delicious and the service excellent. Would highly recommend.

The best restaurant in Albufeira, if not the whole of Portugal! I’m so glad we had the pleasure of enjoying some delicious Portuguese tapas here. Each dish was a delightful explosion of flavours, showcasing the rich culinary traditions of Portugal. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, we were welcomed and looked after by a very delightful & friendly waitress who was very attentive and guided us through the tapas menu, offering excellent pairings with each dish. If you’re craving an authentic taste of Portugal, I highly recommend this spot. Every dish was a true testament to the vibrant flavors and culinary heritage of the country.

Brilliant place for dinner. Just outside the old town, walkable from old town. Authentic Portuguese tapas style. The stingray and garlic prawns were fantastic. The Churizos a bit salty. The pork with pickles was a bit sour. Great little place for dinner.

What a lovely time here! Small little corner in Albufeira, walkable from Old Town. Unfortunately, my partner and I were stuck some tourist traps in Old Town and paid almost 90 Euros for a dinner that didn’t even compare to here. I really appreciated that our server (whose name I sadly forgot… Younger man, light brown hair..) had some suggestions for us and really guided us through the menu. As Canadian tourists, we felt so welcomed and taken care of. He also suggested a lovely digestif, I believe it was a Port Tawny, his favourite from the brand “Martha’s”. Absolutely lovely and really ended our evening perfectly. We ADORED the chorizo, the eggs in farinelha (WOW), the mussels, the tapa of the day which was a white fish pasta, the sourdough bread in that mussel sauce - and last but not least, our cocktails… Amazing experience over all, I would highly recommend. We didn’t spend more than 50 some euros for easily our best meal on the trip.

What a find. Insanely great little spot with lovely authentic flavours of Portugal. THIS IS THE FOOD YOU WANT TO BE EATING HERE IN PORTUGAL. Ran by a great little team. Felt like two brothers. Came for the Pica Pau and enjoyed so much more. The garlic prawns were huge, salad well dressed, perfect potatoes, and ended with a great espresso. All very generously priced too. 10/10. No time for photos of clean plates here. Food was too good!

This place is a gem. The service is superb, João is so welcoming and professional, explained the dishes to us and made excellent recommendations for wine. The food is delicious, we ate the daily specials which were all amazing. Great desserts too. We really enjoyed our relaxed lunches in this amazing restaurant.
