O Amigo Tapas - Albufeira

We have been here several times in the last two years and the tapas innovations never cease to amaze. We typically order tapas to share, followed by a desert. On this occasion it was great to see how busy they were, but the service continues to be friendly, helpful and efficient. We will continue to return here every time we stay locally.

We had a beautiful meal for our family, we ate too many tapas but each were terrific.While the food was wonderful, we did have to wait quite a while to get it. It was worth it !

We are here several times and never disappointed by the unusual tapas. This time, we started with a soup and orange pottery that were delicious. We had a main course of fillet beef with potatoes and vegetables. The meat was absolutely perfect. Finally, I had my favorite desert the Toblerone chocolate mousse. A fantastic meal. Yeah, it's not cheap, but the quality is excellent.

We were familar with Henrique, the Propietor and Chef, from his earlier work at Dom Denis and it took us too long to visit him in O Amigo. We were not disappointed. The food was wonderful, not cheap, but you expect to pay for quality like this. Among the dishes our group were Panko Prawns, alheira Croquettes, piri piri Chicken Croquettes, vegetarian croquettes, bruschetta and the fabulous pork cheek with mash. The desserts were fantastic to Toblerone mousse is excellent. A decent wind and good service make this a must to grab a taxi and travel from the city.

The food to be fair is tasty, but and it's a big but it's pricey and the portion sizes are small. Also they got our order wrong and looked shocked when we told them to take it away and bring what we ordered. The service wasn't great, wouldn't bother going back. Plus when we got back to the villa we got some more food out we were still hungry.
