Made to feel very welcome, a good choice from the menu and the food was well cooked. Better value than many of the restaurants on the Marina but not a location if you are seeking something that little bit more special. more

When a restaurant is run by the owner the difference is always noticeable and that is what makes them better, you are looked after so that you will come back . The fresh food, top quality and the unmatched service, the price is good and I will defiantly be back. I highly recommend it! absolutely great! more

Having just come back from my first trip to the Algarve I feel obliged to leave a review of this restaurant. We only discovered the venue whilst walking around the marina when someone handed ua a flier.

My partner is coeliac, and as the food... more

What a delightful restaurant, wish we'd found it sooner! My sister and i have been to vilamoura several times, but this was the first time we tried o'colonial and we were so impressed by the food, service and welcoming atmosphere. The menu has a variety of portuguese and international dishes, but i'd recommend their fish dishes. My sister's vegetarian and... more

I returned from a 10 night girlie holiday in Vilamoura on 3rd July. We all had such excellent meals and great service at O Colonial that I had to submit my first ever review. All the dishes we tried on our 3 visits met or exceeded our expectations, the fish cataplana and lamb chops where my personal favourites. With reference... more

I've just spent a couple of days at Vilamoura with my wife and children and had the most exquisite taste of the Algarve at the wonderful restaurant "o Colonial". Starting with the very fresh and delightful prawn cocktail and going on tho the Fish Cataplana (a very traditional meal, so i was told) I just couldn't get enough!! But I... more
