    We spent two weeks in Olhão and ate here several times, and what can I say—it was very, very good! The menu changes daily and is apparently based on the freshest ingredients currently available. Everything we tried was delicious! The service was also excellent. Thank you so much!

    At Henriette's, we found the restaurant on our first day of arrival. And it was a wonderful encounter. Run by a wonderful couple, they offer excellent cuisine and a very warm welcome. You can enjoy both the interior and exterior, for breakfast or a good meal at lunch or dinner; you won't be disappointed. At Henriette's, you'll meet a couple who are passionate about their profession but also, and above all, in love with Portugal. I recommend this place without hesitation.

    I don’t understand the few bad reviews. I am local and come often for lunch or dinner and every time the food is full of flavour. The best bit is that the menu changes daily. It’s a simple choice of 3 starters, 3 mains and 2 deserts. Meat, seafood, veggies, fruits … It’s a nice French family run restaurant, that serves delicious homemade food. There are many regulars, which speaks for itself. May only regret is that the portions are too big for me to take all 3 courses ! May they keep this open for many years to come! Thank you for the lovely atmosphere and food !
