This was our second visit to willie’s and it did not disappoint. The scallop and beef carpaccio starters were gorgeous. We both had scallop risotto for mains and it was amazing! Love the little touches of the treats that are brought out too! Staff are fabulous. This is definitely one of my favourite restaurants in the algarve!

They eat out 5 or 6 nights a week and I would class them as “foodies”. The staff here, like everywhere else we ate out, take ‘things’ very seriously, indeed. They like to introduce every single morsel to you in detail and lord help you if you interrupt. Since returning I have asked 2 or 3 people who have holidayed on the Algarve about the Portuguese welcome In restaurants and uniformly everyone said it’s almost as if they don’t want you there. Not quite as bad at Willies but they are somewhat rigid in their approach. I like to put it down to professionalism and a desire to ‘do it correctly’ but it’s a bit intense. A lighter touch would be welcome. That said the food was superb and I would certainly go again.

Loved the little treats in between . Everything, including a gorgeous reasonably priced bottle of red wine was fantastic! We have eaten in several Michelin guide or star restaurants in the UK and this food experience is up there with with some of the best! Thank you!

Amazing food and excellent service. Will definitely book again when we return in March. Thank you read more Amazing food and excellent service. Will definitely book again when we return in March. Thank you

The waiter was professional, engaging and friendly and between the staff they delivered and described each course with style and aplomb. The food was divine, it was more than food, it was an experience enhanced greatly by the most beautiful food start to finish. Our first time here but definitely not the last. So glad we decided to visit, a five star dining experience and a fun night too. Will definitely be back and can’t wait to introduce our family to this experience too.
