Amara

What a wonderful surprise!! Tired of trying new restaurants and leaving with some sort of disappointment, we decided to give it a try at Amara restaurant, at Quinta do Lago. Absolutely flawless from the first moment! The staff and sommelier welcomed us with a polite and efficient service. The wine pairing was very original, with some of the wines being from Portuguese short production, very adequate to the food and served in the dedicated glass. I left the food for last because the queen is always the last to enter the room. It was simply divine!!! The perfect cooking point, full of mouth entertainment, perfectly balanced seasoning, creative, rich and delicious!!! Better than some Michelin starts I went. The price is perfectly adequate to the wonderful meal and service we were offered. We shall repeat! I recommend previously booking a table.

Exceptional service. Absolutely sensational meal and wine pairings. Thank you to the sommelier who made the evening so enjoyable for us. Also, to the head chef, who is surpassing the majority of offerings in the area. Though everything we tried was delicious, I would most recommend the Fois gras, butternut squash tortellini, crab risotto and the pork they were 10/10. To be hyper critical, there was a small bit of improvement on a couple of (truly meaning 2) dishes we tried. I am very excited to return. Do the wine pairings, don't be shy.

One of the easiest 5* reviews I’ve ever given. Incredible food that’s more than Michelin worthy in a sophisticated yet relaxed environment with friendly and professional staff. In fact, we’d go as far as saying the food was better than most Michelin star places we’ve been. The chef and team should be very proud of the quality of food they’re putting out. Please go and enjoy!

What an lovely setting for a fantastic meal. Certainly a treat and a super way to enjoy the beautiful scenery here in the Algarve. The service staff were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. Recommended a beautiful wine which paired the food superbly. The sea bass and octopus were a highlight for sure. You’ll need to book, and the seat next to the large window was fantastic during sunset.

Really excellent across the board! Food is incredible, and the service is attentive but not over the top. We really enjoyed the evening. The outdoor terrace is lovely. The octopus and snickers dessert were our favourite! I hope they're always on the menu! We'll definitely be back next time we're in Quinta.

Attentive staff dedicated to ensuring you have a wonderful time. Daniela, the maître d'hôtel, and Daniela, the sommelier, were excellent. Knowledgeable about the dishes and wines at hand, they asked questions to create a unique culinary experience specific to our tastes. We choose the wine pairing and each wine was thoughtfully selected. As for the food, we opted for the four course menu. The portions are on the larger size, so you may be able to be satisfied with the three course menu, depending on your appetite. Each course was beautifully presented and the chef took care to make each ingredient shine. In the case of the picanha, it was cooked perfectly and the mosaic fish was delightful. The layout of the main room and an adjacent outdoor dining space feel intimate while being large enough to seat a 50-60 diners. A true gem of a restaurant.
