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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Excellent dinner, you do need to make a reservation as only small. We both had the sea bass which was delicious and so fresh. Well worth a visit.

Fabulous family run restaurant that is so popular not only with tourists but with the locals as well, you need to make a reservation or you will be sadly disappointed. Menu has not changed over the years, they know what their customers want and they...do it so well, one of the very best in Olhao.More

Been to Gunthers many times over the years on our winter trips to Olhao and each time it is excellent. The set menu at lunch time is great value, and is different each time we go. The menu in the evening is varied and you...can guarantee will be lovely. You would struggle to find anywhere better to have lunch in the sun.More

Just one block away from the tourist traps on the main street, A do Fernando serves excellent grilled fish without fuss, but accompanied by a good salad and, if you wish, a decent wine. Dish of the day varies and is not always fish, such...as the chicken curry that my wive had - and enjoyed.More
