Six of us spent a week in Sao Rafael this was the first restaurant we tried close to the villa. We ate out every night in some much more expensive places (none of them bad) but this was everyone’s favourite. So we returned on the...last night.Smiling happy staff, good atmosphere and lovely food. Well worth a visit and great value too.More

We ate at this restaurant on three occasions on our recent holiday to the area. Each time we had an excellent meal. The service was very good. The sea bass was very popular with our family.

Very nice menu on first impressions and the food didn’t disappoint, everything I had tried was amazing and cooked very well. Staff couldn’t have been nicer and even opened the restaurant 2 hours early on request so my family could go once more before catching...our flight. Will definitely be back.More

Really bad! The chicken was so dry and the chips terrible… I do not recommend. Even the Sagres beer is bad at this place. The only good thing is the music.More

Having booked originally in 2020 and changed our flights several time we eventually arrived back in Sao Rafael on Sunday afternoon. After settling in we made our way to our favourite restaurant Margem Sul for dinner. It was soo good to be back and see...Georges and his team. Thankfully nothing had changed in the 2 years, the food, service and ambiance was as good as it ever was. We will be eating there again this week when some of our family arrive later tonight.More

The staff are very welcoming, great service, great atmosphere, and pretty good food. My stake was cooked perfectly on the inside and the olives are delicious with herbs and vinegar. This is a decent restaurant for an evening in the algarve.

Great range of food,chicken, fish, meat, and the prices are very fair. also the carrots that come as part of the covert are just the BEST !!!
