“ Amazing fresh seafood! We tried the clams, octopus, crab and squid and everything was so fresh and tasty. The staff were super friendly and even suggested a great wine to go with our meal. Definitely recommend Restaurante Elcristo if you’re in the area! ”
“ I highly recommend Elcristo for some of the freshest and tastiest seafood you can get. The staff were really kind and attentive, and the fish I ordered was juicy and prepared to perfection. They let me have a close look at their variety of live crabs and lobsters, which I was really excited about. Absolute must-visit restaurant in Vilamoura ”
“ During our recent visit to Restaurante Elcristo, we indulged in a delightful seafood experience, savouring both crab and seabream dishes. The freshness of the seafood was evident, and each dish was prepared to perfection, highlighting the natural flavours of the ingredients. The price is high, so bring a lot of money to this dining experience. It's important to note that at Elcristo, all seafood is priced per kilogram, and additional items such as bread and toast are charged separately. This pricing structure is common in establishments focusing on fresh, high-quality seafood, allowing patrons to select their preferred quantity and variety. Our meal, accompanied by two coffees, totalled approximately €100. While some may find this on the higher end, we found the cost to be justified by the exceptional quality and freshness of the seafood, as well as the attentive service provided by the staff. It's a memorable seafood dining experience with fresh, high-quality dishes and good service. ”
“ Amazing experience of choosing the fish you wish to eat, they then weigh it and have it prepared in the kitchen with the style you like. We chose to have the sole as a fillet with a salad on the side!! Lovely service by the whole team ”
“ We ordered the Octopus and Tiger Prawn for lunch today. It was perfect. The octopus was sooo good and well portioned. The prawns were sooooooooo good. They were super large and grilled nicely. I haven’t had this type of prawn before - they were the size of my hand. I asked the server and he confirmed that they were from imported Mozambique. Loved them. Our server was exceptionally friendly and nice to kids. Will return! Gentle note that the seafood is priced market by weight so be ready to pay a pretty penny. There was also a cover charge per person, which we didn’t like. ”
“ We ordered a vegetable soup as starter and the tiger prawns as a main. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was super delicious! We definitely would come back! ”
“ Excellent fish restaurant with a few meat options available! Fish is fresh and i incredible tasty spiced with only a bit of salt… Service is nice and friendly. It is a bit pricey but for sea food lovers it pays off!! ”
