Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The "Onda Luz" is located on Rua Direita at the exit of the beach town towards Lagos. It is easy to overlook because nothing on the outside or inside promises an above-average dining experience. But that is deceptive because the small restaurant with a maximum of 35 seats offers a high-quality menu for Praia da Luz at very fair prices. The service is very friendly and quick, you can watch the ladies preparing the food in the open kitchen and you are served unpretentiously, the food is delicious, comes in decent portions and is completely satisfying for the guest. One of the best restaurants in Praia da Luz!

Luckily there was still room inside and inside - downstairs and outside it would have been too noisy for us thanks to a DJ who, like so many, thought he was the star of the evening, which then means you have to shout at yourself to have a conversation. We only ordered a few appetizers and were delighted: nicely arranged and very delicious, plus a nice service and a wonderful view over the sea. a perfect end to the day.

The location right by the sea is very nice. In the tastefully decorated interior, the large windows allow for a great view. Unfortunately, the service leaves a lot to be desired. Although it wasn't full, it took a while for us to order and get our drinks. Unfortunately, the food came so quickly that we hadn't finished the aperitif and the wine with the meal wasn't there. The food - we had fish - was excellent.
It was annoying that we as a couple were denied a seat right by the window when we asked, despite there being free seats. Shortly afterwards, however, the tables set up for four were split and subsequent couples were given window seats. Given the high standards and the high prices, we would have liked more customer orientation.

Very bad experience during our visit.
The staff is slow, inattentive and casual.
We got our food 50 min. after we ordered and it was then cold. Then there were not even many guests at the restaurant on our visit, but staff just stood and watched, they seemed very unhappy with their job.
Furniture and furnishings are very worn.
Umbrellas were broken, there were holes in the chairs and planks on the wooden deck were loose. Glassware and cutlery were very dirty.
We were surprised that such a place even had any paying visitors considering how bad the restaurant was in and how bad the service was.

Not one of the more scenic beaches in Portugal but very nice boardwalks following along the beach for ling distances. We took the tourist bus to get here. Watched the surfers in January. I am sure in the summer it is a more popular destination.

Had lunch with a friend visiting us fro UK. We sat inside on a gorgeous sunny day watching the sea and eating delicious food. The service was great and the whole experience was lovely. Will definitely return.

Beautiful beaches, good 4 star hotel, few people which was nice, great weather. I did a lot of swimming and a couple of visits to nearby Lagos where I did a tour of the caves and coast by boat. Stunning beaches and coast. Good for snorkelling.

Once we found this round the corner from our hotel we came back quite a few times! (We’d been recommended it by the guys at Porto Sailing Spot who we did a river trip with.)
Perfect place to sit by the ocean. We didn’t swim, quite rocky and a bit rough the days we were there but there were people dipping in.
Good food, fab hot Choc our friend said, enjoyed the salads and a nice bottle of wine. Lovely Choc mousse! Went for sundown dinner too, started outside and then moved inside once it got cooler.
Busy, staff sweet and helpful. All good.

Idyllic setting facing the Atlantic Ocean
The sound of the waves is exotic and eating with your feet in the water, or almost,
it's great !
The dishes are plentiful and good
Fast and efficient service
The fruit salad is good but a little expensive for the quantity…

Very nice location, but very bad service - the lady at the bar was also very friendly, she preferred to sit at the table next door instead of doing her work. After waiting half an hour for an order, we left. We rang several times for service and went to the lady at the bar herself, who very rudely told us that the order would be taken at the table. Although it was very quiet, the waiter had no time to look after the guests - this was my 1st review with only one star, but this place doesn't deserve more than that - cannot be recommended
