It is a shame that there isn't a category higher than excellent because this is by far the best restaurant in The Algarve. Set in an historic and enchanting setting either within the old former farm house or outside on the beautiful terrace the experience is exceptional. Every time we have been the food has been delightful, truly Michelin highest... More

We have visited this restaurant several times now and it never disappoints. The menu is interesting and changes often. The presentation of the dishes is superb and everything tastes wonderful. We are always made welcome. Come up from the Coast - this lovely place in the hills is certainly well worth a visit. Sit in the beautiful courtyard when it's... More

We had a lovely dinner here with 4 adults and 4 children (9 - 16 yrs) and we all agreed it was one of the best meals we have had in years - a lovely ambiance, generous and caring hosts and above all very pure and delicious food. Can't wait to come back and enjoy the gardens & terrace (we... More

We have been several times and always enjoyed quality food presented to an exceptional level. The location is somewhat difficult to find, but the dining and attention to detail is first class. It's our favourite in the area as the food tastes and looks exquisite. Helma and Vincent are lovely, and very talented restauranteurs.

We went to the Le Marquis a couple of weeks ago with some friends. The open fire was roaring away and we sat in the lovely restaurant which was full of character and was very comfortable. The hosts were very attentive, the food was served promptly and tasted delicious. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very romantic and we would... More

A little off the beaten track, but well worth a detour.. Vincent and Helma are Dutch, but make a great team serving the finest food in the area. Helma is maitre d and Vincent does the disinctive, French style catering. Sunday lunches are a great attraction - usually a full house, with succulent roast beef and yorkshire pudding, roast lamb...

Second time we celebrated my father's birthday here. It is a very cosy beautiful restaurant. The food & wine is very good. Love the delicate way everything is presented. Picture perfect plates! Will be back as soon as I can, especially now they also serve very reasonably priced 2/3 course menus. Loved the cake Erwin made as a gift for... More

This is a good and adventurous restaurant for the hills of the Algarve, and it manages to produce good quality food, local wherever possible, and very professionally served. It is imaginitive without being too much so, and the owners really take an interest in what you eat. I like the balance of flavouring to enhance not overpower, and they understand... More
