We had not expected to find such a different restaurant in the old part of Albufeira. We had the 5 course meny, all very well prepared and presented with much attention from the owner and his wife.

Just far enough away from the centre of the old town and its array of below average restaurants is this little gem. Don't get me wrong there are a couple of other gems to be found but this one is on another level. Quality decor, table linen, wine list, service and of course the food - all top quality. Five...

Having read the reviews on tripadvisor we decided to book a meal at Dom Carlos and we were not disappointed. The food was superb. The menu is priced at 44 euros for a 5 course dinner. Home made bread to start. We enjoyed scallops with smoked salmon, courgette soup (delicious), Hake with Fennel, Steak with a Red wine Sauce (our... More

Fantastic eating experience. Unknown to us this restaurant only offers a 5 course meal (44 euro) - had we known this we would certainly have starved ourselves all day to better appreciate the fantastic food on offer! After an excellent starter of scallop, smoked salmon with mango we launched into a soup course, portobello mushroom for him and cauliflower with... More

The food was superb, a given. What makes this such a great place to eat is the owners. Charming and funny. We went as a large group and were welcomed like old friends

We had read the reviews on trip adviser and were keen to visit and so called to book a table for the Monday night (it was Sunday) only to discover they are closed on Monday and Tuesdays. Anna said well come now so we walked up from the Old Town and were greeted by Anna and Peter and sat at... More

This restaurant is well worth a visit not only for the fabulous food but mainly for the personal service. I felt like a VIP from the moment I walked in. You cannot fail to enjoy your evening at Dom Carlos.

Small and beautiful restaurant, with great hosts. Peter and Anna were very friend and made the meal very special. Nothing was too much trouble and they made every effort to ensure the visit was the meal was the best they could offer. Please note it is a choice of two set 5 course menus for 44 euros per person.

Treated ourselves to a meal here for our 20th wedding anniversary. Fantastic hosts and all five courses superb (although the grouper wasn't quite to our own tastes!). Definitely worth a visit for a special meal as it doesn't come cheap!! Two minor niggles, atmosphere is slightly stuffy in as much as you felt like you didn't want to laugh too... More
