Retiro do Camponês

Traditional Portuguese Restaurant

A perfect union between family and kitchen. "Please sit wherever you like." This is how Dona Teresa welcomes everyone who walks through the doors of her restaurant. She invites everyone into her family home, with its relaxed, informal atmosphere, where each customer immediately becomes a member of this big family.

Everything about the restaurant will make you feel like you’ve arrived home, to a meeting place of rest, intimacy and retreat - from the cooking pot placed on the table and the care taken to make sure that everything is cooked perfectly, and that nothing is missing, to the conversation and the feeling of togetherness. The open kitchen only makes it feel more homely, a common area where you sit at a family table and take part in a joyful family gathering, filled with delicious tastes and smells.

Here, in this little pocket of countryside in Vale Judeu, let yourself be whisked away by the rural atmosphere, breathing in nature itself with every breath. Only 10 minutes away from the urban centres of Vilamoura and Loulé, the restaurant welcomes children, who can enjoy a playground built for the benefit of both them and their parents. Located in a part of the restaurant’s outdoor seating area, both adults and youngsters can enjoy freedom in a safe, secluded environment.
