    Very nice tapas bar just off the main strip. We wanted a light dinner somewhere quieter and that turned out the perfect place. Even though it was almost their closing time, the owners let us have dinner. There is a good selection of tapas, of which we made a good selection with the owners' help. The rose wine was very good, beer too. The prices overall were very reasonable. Overall, nice setting, good food and very attentive service, we will be visiting again.

    A place that you won't regret to visit: tapas are delicious, well managed and reasonably priced. We enjoyed the evening with four adults, sharing tapas, driving the exceptional rose housewine and ... not to miss: had an insightful and pleasant conversation with the staff. Perfect!

    Delicious food, professional and very friendly staff. Good recommendation for food and nice chat next to ordering food. Very good value for money. We had a great dinner with garlic bread, olives, nachos with cheese and guacamole, eggplant with cheese and tomato sauce, pork rips with a delicious barbecue sauce and pork stew portuguese style with fries. For dessert we enjoyed a typical almond liqueur which was really nice.

    The food was super delicious. Our favourites were the spareribs, which were super tender. Best in class was the service by a super friendly waiter, who gave us great recommendations all the way through, ending the dinner with a great local almond spirit.

    Overall a very pleasent experience! Food was amazing, best were the codfish croquettes and the albondigas. Sadly our ordered ribs were to cold and they first brought our codfish to another table. Yet the Service is super nice and very helpful. Overall i would recommend this place without hesitation.

    One of the best food spots we found in Algarve! We had troubles with finding really good food spots because all very touristic. This one was next to a main street and we had the best service at all!! Had some tapas with great portions (for tapas I think it were big ones). All very nice! The waiter was very friendly! Order the ribs, we liked ist much :))

    All tapas dishes excellent! Prawns and meatballs delicious and pork rib tapa also fab and huge portion. We ordered too much as first visit. Wine menu short but excellent value. Very friend host. A lovely find.

    Had the best time at Lutje! Amazing staff and best tapas I’ve ever tried. Should be able to rate with even more stars!

  • 5/5 Phil C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little tapas just off the strip. Staff were all very helpful and the meal was lovely. Unbelievable value for money and a good kids menu was available which went down very well. We had around 6 tapas dishes which came out at different times which worked well for eating them and we were told if we wanted more we could simply request them. All the food was lovely. A great visit.

    So refreshing to eat something different in Albufeira! Ate here last week on a recommendation from other travellers and it did not disappoint. Great portions, prices, staff but most importantly great TASTE! Cod croquettes and the salsa were divine. A hidden gem put it on your list.

    Had a lovely dinner in this nice family-run restaurant. Really tasty fish and meat tapas. Quiet and cozy location, with a nice outdoor space. Extremely kind staff, they put us at ease and took care of us. It is what was missing in Albufeira!! 100% recommended!

  • 5/5 Quentin M. 1 year ago on Google
    We arrived late and stayed after the restaurant should have closed, very sorry about that. The staff stayed super friendly and take good care of us. The food is very good and the ambient is peaceful. Very nice place to eat.

    Honestly can’t add anything new from the previous 5 star reviews - fantastic dinner (especially the pork belly & pork burrito), exceptional service and warm ambiance.

  • 5/5 Lily Lou H. 11 months ago on Google
    100% Recommendations - waiters were absolutely amazing and on the hall and the food was amazing. The burrito blew us away. a hidden gem and worth a visit on your next trip :) thank you!

  • 5/5 Alex M. 11 months ago on Google
    Amazing family run place with a brilliant range of tapas dishes. The staff were highly accommodating and very friendly. Only a 5-10 minute walk from the strip and would definitely recommend to any visitors to albufeira.

  • 5/5 Jonathan G. 11 months ago on Google
    Very friendly and attentive staff. Service was impeccable. Pallela was amazing. Fish was fresh and rice was perfectly cooked. Best of all the pricing was more than fair considering the quality.

  • 5/5 Mael 11 months ago on Google
    We had a VERY GOOD lunch here, the Tapas were very well cooked, with homemade sauces and the server was very nice and helpful. Prices are very attractive, quality is here and portions are generous. Will definitely recommend :-)

    Amazing tapas! Me and partner came to enjoy tapas and a sangria and we loved it! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The food was so tasty, we had the pork belly, nachos, prawns,chorizo and ribs and it was all tasty. Generous portions and a lovely location!

  • 5/5 Wesley L. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing service and beautiful food! We had the seafood Paella and it was amazing. Chicken wings and Nachos also brilliant. Would wholeheartedly recommend if you are in Albufeira it’s a hidden gem. Best meal we have had out here 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

  • 5/5 Aishwariya B. 11 months ago on Google
    Amazing place. Family business and it is not commercial like other places. The portion sizing is too good. We stayed in Albufeira for five days and we found this restaurant on the third day. Couldn’t be more happier !! They have a niche to it in the cooking especially. Would go again. The down side they don’t have air conditioning but it’s not something you will mind once you start tasting the food. 😃

    One of the best meals we've had in Albufeira. A quiet, relaxed atmosphere, friendly helpful staff, and the food was delicious. We were told the pork belly tapas was a favourite, and having tried it for ourselves we have to agree. We also enjoyed some excellent cocktails.

    Excellent food! Fair prices. Served personally by the friendly owner. In Albufeira there aren't many places where you'll be served as professionally and heartfelt as here.

    Seafood paella was brilliant! Staff recommended paella isn't quite big enough for 2 so have a few tapas dishes as starters which were also fantastic. Definitely recommend if you're close to here

  • 5/5 Lynn D. 9 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Loooved our meal here last night. The food - every single element was absolutely delicious 😋. The service was gentle, effective and intrusive. The atmosphere was very easygoing. Even a large beer...came with an ice chilled glass. Can't recommend highly enough. Thank you so much 🙏
