Portarade - Portimão

We have updated this review after receiving the owners ' comment. We have specified better and we disagree that we are very wrong. The rating is therefore unchanged. Restaurante Portarade offers a good lunch menu with many options. In our opinion and recollection, however, not much has changed in recent years we have lived here in Ferragudo, except for the price of the full lunch menu which has increased by approx. 50% since 2014. Then the price was € 9.50, now the full menu costs 14.50. We can not say whether this is bad or good, in our opinion it is just a fact. You get a great value for your money at Restaurant Portarade couvert, starter, main course, drink and dessert. Fresh fish, and beautifully served. Douradinhos from the children 's menu. This seems to be a type of fish fingers which is not made from real fish fillets. The restaurant charges 6 euros for the dish, which includes 3 fish fingers made from fish fillings. Maybe for a few cents more in cost and our kids could have real fish fingers. Children also deserve quality food. We have commented this to the staff before. Losing a star for this. The internet in the outdoor area is slow and useless for streaming. We know that families with children will appreciate the opportunity to use a streaming service such as Youtube. Probably some other guests as well. So therefore we usually sit at the neighboring restaurant instead of having to use all our mobile data credits at Portarade. This has little to do with favorite venues , as the owners comment, except that WiFi is much better next door. We assure you that our voice is not bought by any competitors. So, losing another star for poor outdoor WiFi. The staff is nice and friendly. Always. If the staff had asked us if the fish fingers were good, we would tell our opinion again. We hoped there were an improvement. If the restaurant wants to attract more residents, in our opinion, the restaurant needs more frequent updates in their menu, and also spend a bit on outdoor WiFi. How difficult can it be? This review is written as accurately as possible, regardless of what the owners claim, and the facts are based on several visits in the last years. The owners do not comment on the fish fingers, but admit that WiFi is an issue. We 've looking for old private photos to prove the menu. Found only a fraction of the menu from 2014, but it is proving our recollection. We do not think it will help to tell staff face to face about such issues. Waiters can not do much about WiFi and poor fish fingers. The owners can. And owners react first when the problem is presented as here. Maybe the menu is designed for tourists who likely do not return to Ferragudo, and who have enough mobile data. In that case all is good. We do not know for sure, but we can assure you that we are happy to update this review whenever the restaurant offers usable internet to the large outdoor dining area, as well as real fish in the fish fingers. It should not cost that much. Thanks!

We stopped here for lunch and it was great! there is a variety for the menu of the day and eating was really good. we chose the 15€ menu and had pão de alho and fish soup for appetizers (both very tasty) and pasta with garnel and grilled fish for the main dish (absolutely beautiful.) also the portions are very satisfied and the service is efficient. we liked this place

A good value restaurant with great choice and well cooked food. I had the sea bass and my partner had baked hake. Service was fast and courteous. An added bonus was chatting with the lovely couple, Martin and Maria, next to us for most of the afternoon and, of course, the glorious sunshine!

This place has good service. I got the monkfish and shrimps kebab. It had 3 pieces of monkfish which were tasty but a bit dry. This isn't the worst but I only got 3 shrimps, and 1 loose shrimp head. The shrimps were really dry, I don't think I ever had a shrimp this dry. There were also pieces of onion and paprika on the kebab. I like a good char but half of these vegetables were borderline burnt. It also had loose vegetables which I think were from the freezer. And this all for a 27 euros. If the service wasn't good the rating would have been 1 star. I expected to get some more shrimps for almost 30 euros.

Excellent eating. they have several menu options that are all great and they have huge portions. very nice hotel centrally located.
