We came here unexpectedly after a long and tiring day on the Rota Vicentina. There was actually a…read morerestaurant down the block here in Zambujeira do Mar that overlooked the sea and beach, but which served more traditional "home style" food and at which we already stopped for a snack earlier in the evening before running some errands. We had walked by here earlier also and loved the decor, style, ambience, and variety on the menu - so we decided to come back. My goodness we weren't disappointed - the service AND food were outstanding! We wanted seafood but I'm a little squeamish about eating whole fish. So our waiter ensured that our super fresh sea bass was nicely filleted for us. We also got various vegetable sides including a delicious pimientos de padron, and garlic-marinated olives. We also got a really delicious wine recommendation from the region that went perfectly with the sea bass. To top it all off, just before bringing the check we were given a taste of local hazelnut liqueur and it was DELICIOUS - I'm going to have to buy some before heading back to the US!

First off, this place doesn't take reservations, so it's "first come, first serve". It sits atop of a cliff side overlooking the Atlantic Ocean so the dinner view, especially at sunset is spectacular! There's outdoor seating and it's very kid-friendly. Most of the patrons are locals, but that might be because it's the only place in town... When it comes to the food, it's fantastic! We had the Octopus Salad, the Clams and the Sapateira. All of the dishes were fresh and probably the best seafood we had yet! The service was very friendly and atmosphere was as well, as we made friends with some of the locals sitting next to us! I would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant if you're in Southern Portugal!

When we arrived, the small restaurant (only around 10 tables) was completely full and they said the wait would be around 30-40 min. However, the waitress was very kind and took down my cell number and said she would call. After walking around the town and seeing the windmill, we came back and waited for a while. It ended up taking almost an hour before we were seated, which was a bit of a bummer, but you can't make people leave their table. Finally seated, the waiter brought us some tasty sangria immediately, and we pondered what to order. The menu is actually fairly long for such a small place, so happily we received some assistance from the waitress. Everything she recommended was amazing, from the local Syrah wine to the tuna ceviche, goat cheese and walnut honey pastry, and incredible grilled steak. While we skipped out on dessert I'm confident it would've been good too. Altinho is a cute place, with good food, good service, and a slightly upscale (but small) vibe. I would defintiely return.

But when we saw the delicious meal someone else got, we decided to stick around and we were super happy with that decision!!! She got steak, I got lamb chops. They were nicely cooked, delicately seasoned, and they really hit the spot for a pair of hikers. The wine suggested to us was just right for the food, and the desserts were solid as well. What REALLY stood out about the spot was the owner. He seemed to speak every language in Europe owing to an interesting career in a number of different places. Through the evening we spoke in Spanish, English, and Italian - my Portuguese is no good! He was super patient and helped me make sure my gluten issues were addressed with every item from side to dessert, and I'm always thankful for that. Do yourself a favor and visit this man and his restaurant!

We started with the family lemonade which was so refreshing and had lots of fresh citrus in it. We felt like we were at a family dinner here with how welcoming it was. We got the Sevilla style squid which was ok, the piri piri helped add flavor. The prawns were plump and flavorful in a nice sauce that we used our garlic bread to sop up the flavors. The sea bream was such a nice and light flavor. Crisp on the outside but soft and meaty inside with fries nicely seasoned and cooked. It's off the beaten path a bit on a side street but still central to town.
