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.

Really good steak from here. Some of the best steak I’ve ever had. Cook it yourself on a stone so you can have it done how you like it. Staff were friendly and we wasn’t rushed at all. Hope to be back soon

Appears no longer open. Went Saturday 1st July around 8pm. Totally closed up. I see the original owners sold up but they said they were advised by new owners it would stay open but looks like it's not. Absolutely gutted. One of the best restaurants...😣More

We have been coming to Albuferia since 2003 and a must on every trip has been to the Sizzling Stone. Our first visit was due to the sign outside having some recommendation by Judith Charmers. These days I suspect no one would know who she...is. Anyway in all the years and multiple visits the staff and the food have always been consistent and excellent. However we returned last night and apart from 1 staff member remaining, the rest were new. No where near as attentive the food was OK but my wife and I both agreed that it was on par with a much cheaper 'spoons steak rather than the exceptional quality and service we used to get. Oh well I guess it's the way of the world now sadly that service and quality are things of the past.More

We have been to the restaurant on our previous trip many years ago. It was so good that we had to go back for dinner on our first day in Albufeira. The sizzling plate remains excellent and as good as we remember from before. I...had the lamb and my partner the surf and turf. It comes with a choice of sauces and jacket potatoes, chips or rice, as well as slices of mushrooms, peppers and onion on the hot plate. Friendly staff. The house wine is good and not expensive.More

Another beautiful meal in the Sizzling Stone! This restaurant has been a favorite of ours for many years. They have never disappointed us. The fillet steak on the stone is a beautiful, fun meal with the best steak and the freshest vegetables and a pepper...sauce to die for! Then finish your meal with the loveliest warm almond tart and icecream! Filipe has managed this restaurant for many years and always welcomes us warmly. The service is pleasant and efficient. Many things have changed over the years in this area but the Sizzling Stone has remained a constant…. It never fails to deliver. We wound highly recommend this restaurant.More

The food was good but the service was shocking. There are so many other nicer places where you're made to feel really welcome. There was one gentleman serving who was pleasant but the rest of the staff didn't appear to be able to engage in...a way that would encourage anyone to return. Don't bother.More

If you like traditional 1970’s menu, then this is the place for you. Service without a smile and average food. So many other, nicer restaurants at the same price near by. I wouldn’t bother unless you’re with your elderly parents.

Went with my daughter for my birthday dinner. Even though it is rather on the pricy side it is absolutely worth. All fresh and home made. The fact you can cook your own food to your liking on a hot stone makes it a joyful...experience too. Absolutely loved it and we are coming back no question.More

We were a group of 11 and some of us liked the idea of going to a sizzling stone restaurant, when this one was spotted by a group member we knew we wanted to try it out. All we can say is wow! We were...in Albufeira for 5 nights and this was by far our favourite meal out. We arrived at the restaurant without a reservation about 7.45ish, it already looked very busy. We were unable to sit outside, however they offered us a table inside which was fine with us. Plenty of different food to choose from the menu, I especially liked how you didn’t have to go with the sizzling stone option, you could also choose food that came out already cooked. 4 group members went with the sizzling stone options which were the chicken breast, surf & turf and 2 x steak. The rest of the group had a variety of different choices from steak to the kebabs. I had the mixed kebab. All I can say is that it was the best meal out of the whole holiday, the meals were very well presented and plentiful. The sizzling stones were a great experience, they came out “sizzling hot” and stayed hot for the whole time we were there, which meant you didn’t have to rush cooking all the food. The surf & turf had beautiful large prawns alongside the steak. The chicken breast cooked in literally minutes on the hot stone. All facilities present that you’d want in a family restaurant and very friendly staff. There isn’t much more to say about this restaurant other than please check it out if you are staying in Albufeira - you won’t be disappointed!More

Food was very nice and it was a little different than what we expected. I thought it was a bit strange when they didn’t ask how I liked my steak cooked. Didn’t realise I cooked it myself. Loved the food, especially the peppercorn sauce! The...service though was terrible and I was expecting much better, the lady who served us was ignorant and rude, when you pay more for food you expect good service and we didn’t get that. You would think they would be better if they expect tips. Food was 5 star but I wouldn’t even score the service. I would try elsewhere in the future. Which is a shame. It’s a little pricey for other dishes such as the chicken strips which my son had it was like a children’s meal for €18.More
