"Experiential Elation" at this fantastic gastronomic tour of the Algarve....the freshest of locally sourced and produced ingredients, delightfully assimilated and contrasted flavours, textures and colours on regional themes, and a very personalised chef's table with engaging conversations with Chef João Oliveira. This deserves 5 stars all around on Google reviews and is certainly headed for a 2 ⭐️ on Michelin Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €50+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Scarlet Shrimp

Well hidden Michelin star experience. I let the images do the talking. That place exceeded our expectations. The service, attention to detail, flavours, interior and atmosphere were excellent. Tip: If you don't stay in the hotel, but arriving for dinner with a car, call ahead to get the access to the gated parking in front of the hotel.

This was the best meal I've ever had in my entire life, and that's not an exaggeration. I wholeheartedly and sincerely say it is worth every penny (and it's a lot of pennies) - and I say that having gone to another 2 start Michelin in the same trip that is not worth the money. I went here back in 2016 before they got their Michelin star and told my family about the best meal I ever had. Fast forward 7 years to 2023, my family was traveling to Portugal and I said we MUST go to this restaurant (which got it's Michelin star in 2018). Everything was impeccable - the food was the best I've had in my life, the service was like a well-choreographed dance with perfect timing, and the whole experience was one that we will all never forget. Make a reservation well in advance! This will be a highlight of your time in Portimão. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €50+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Great one star Michelin star restaurant. They have had it since 2018. The restaurant and space is beautiful and very well decorated. I really enjoyed that they give you a tour around the kitchen when you come in. All the ingredients were truly fresh and very tasty. We liked all dishes (9 of them). I would definitely recommend it and come back. The menu we had was 175€ per person plus 95€ per person if you want the wine pairing with every dish (we didn’t). They also have one table for two people if you want to dine in the kitchen. We were a larger group so we couldn’t but it sounded really great. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €50+
If you want the most amazing experience of what Portugal, and Algarve in particular, has to offer this is the place to go. From setting or preparation to produce, it was all stunning. When we went it was a seafood only menu and i could not have been more blown away. I spend a lot of time in the Algarve as my girlfriend is local and this elevates everything we've had previously but takes it to levels i didn't thought possible. Speaking to the local fishermen much of the produce is rare and difficult to get hold of, but it really pays off. The wine pairing is also superb and completely showcases the different, subtle and complex flavours of Portugese wines you don't get in many other places. On top of all that the setting is stunning and intimate with very few covers a night. As an additional highlight they also show their kitchen and the wine cellar before the meal. Price per person €50+

If you ever find yourself near the Algarve, definitely put this as a must on your agenda. The food and dinner staff are amazing and you also get one of the best views while enjoying dinner. Vista deserves more than just 1 Michelin star. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €50+

Wonderful dining experience! From arrival to dining, it has been such a pleasant time, thanks to caring staffs and the chef Oliveira. Every dish was delightful! It was worth every penny and more. It was great to tour the kitchen and the wine cellar before the meal. Chef Oliveira came to the table to prepare the special dish, which was very nice touch. Thank you everyone af Vista for making it such a memorable experience!

Nothing I put down can really express how much we truly enjoyed our experience at vista the food, the service and the overall place are all 5 stars that if you have the chance you must visit! Just a breakdown for each aspect: Location and parking: set on the busy streets of Portimao in the bel vista hotel, we decided to use the parking on the side of the hotel and walked up (I believe the hotel has parking for restaurant visitors) to the hotel and rung the bell and they greeted us at the front door Food: taking us through a beautiful seafood culinary journey across Portugal, we are amazed by each unique experience, the effort the chef and his team have orchestrated to make it enjoyable and how the different ingredients and play with texture and use of different parts of the same ingredients We provided our allergy and restrictions in advance and the team have ensured that was met and replaced it without losing out on the experience Service: such impeccable service from the very start, the team ensured they kept us happy all the way and I loved it. Overall it made our experience in the algarve region extra special and deff think you should consider it Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €50+
