We were recommend to visit this restaurant by our taxi driver - and we werent disappointed. Lovely surroundings - this isnt one you would stumble upon. The food was excellent - sardines were beautiful and the price was even better. Somewhere where the locals go to eat - the best recommendation there is Will be back next time I am... More

My wife and I visited this restaurant several years ago and decided to have lunch there again when in Partimao. It was a miserable Monday morning and there was not much happening in Portimao. This restaurant was however busy as always. The food is nothing fancy. They specialise in simple grilled fresh fish which is excellent. The fish soup I... More

It's a very nice restaurant. Forget meat when you're eating here. It's all about fish. Especially the grilled Sardines are so tastfull, and it's cheap!

The food (particularly fish) served at this restaurant is superb. Can really recommend the seafood rice and for 3 or 4 people they can usually cook one large bass between everyone which is so tasty.

Dona Barca Restaurant is a fantastic place to eat. A warm and friendly atmosphere. Staff always go the extra mile to please and all at a reasonable price. Not ripped off by hiking up wine charges, but quite limited on range, although house wines are very good. We ate there 3 nights running, trying different fish and could not fault... More
