Eating out with kids

where abouts are you staying ?old town area or strip?

Hi dave,

I dont think I would want to eat in the lower part of the strip if I had young children ,might be better in the top half a lot more peaceful and more important if you go to the English Kitchen you will be in a Kid friendly environment and have food that is is prepared by a Pro Chef 

There's not a restaurant in Albufeira that isn't welcoming to kids. I've eaten in the English Kitchen and The Cottage and while not my cup of tea (I try to eat a more Mediterranean at home and on holiday) they are excellent at what they do. If you're at the top of the strip though you should try Os Compadres which is Portuguese and excellent value. There are other, similar restaurants in the area. But my suggestion would be to head into the old town where the choice and arguably quality is greater. Highlights for us (2 adults and 3 kids aged 14, 10 and 5) would be O Manjar, O Alentejano, Cabana Fresca and Dom Pipas. The first two are pretty inexpensive, the last two less so.

Ally,
Cabana Fresca is right on the front, Old Town, by what was the fish Market, it's always rammed, it's that good yet they still have touts, be sure to get a voucher off them, they give them freely, and this will get you 10% off.
Great menu to cover all tastes, their mixed seafood Cataplana is brilliant, then again, their steaks are sublime, just show them the knife, they are that tender that's all you need to do. Presentation is superb, of the food, but not to the detriment of quality or taste at all. Highly recommend.

Adega do David, right next to Floyd's is great value and good quality. Vincente the owner isnt the most dynamic chap you will ever meet, but he speaks good English and his cooking is supurb!
