It was the first time we had been to this restaurant and we were not disappointed. The food was beautiful, we had chosen to have the fish to which, if like me, you cant have a full fish intact, they will without complaint remove the head and bones. The deserts were amazing and was nice to not just see the... More

My wife and I and our twin boys aged 3 visited here 4 times on our recent holiday in Albufeira. I had looked on here for restaurant reviews prior to our holiday and this place had been highly recommended. We had received the freemaps in our welcome pack in the hotel which had all the restaurants marked on it. We... More

We visited twice, the food and service were excellent. We had fish dishes which were cooked perfectly. The service was fantastic, the staff could not do enough for us. Would definitely recommend a visit, best food we had while on our weeks holiday.

Food was excellent and the couvert is great. Go for the dishes of the day as they are cheaper than the other dishes and taste great. Don‘t be afraid to try cuttlefish if it‘s the fish dish of the day because it tastes great and is cooked perfectly; don‘t miss out! The only downside is the lack of homemade desserts.

We have visited O Lusitano 3 times on our last trip. It is with out doubt the best restaurant in Albefeira. The service is as excellent as before, the food and wine as good as it gets and the pace just right.It is spotless and you could eat your meal of any surface. For starters try sharing the mature cheese... More

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
