Do not leave Albufeira until you've eaten here

This place is so good it's on the border to insane. I ate here in May, and two months later I am still getting flashbacks of textures and tastes. The food is simple, well thought through and there is no other word of describing it than delicious.
It makes you want eat the menus every day.
Ate there 2 times + takeaway, both times had a very satisfying stay.
The owner is super friendly and really goes beyond usual to explain the menu.
I wish I could live there and eat all the time. Try the pasties!

I've eaten in plenty vegan restaurants during my stay in Portugal, this one was the best by far.

Pros: Great food, Healthy, Realistic prices

Cons: Maybe opens a bit late?

nice place

A great place for a nice vegan lunch, full lunch (full belly afterwards :-) ) for 9 euros, and the staff was very friendly.

The best food I have had on my whole trip to Albufeira. The owner is super friendly. I wish I came here everyday of my trip. The atmosphere, the interior, the books, art, everything about this place is great.

Pros: Value, Friendly, Excellent Food

Delicious healthy food

This place was a culinary highlight of my stay in Portugal and one of the best vegan places I have ever eaten in.
It's a small café with few tables also some outside ones, it has nice, simple, natural decor that is perfectly in tune with what the Alfarroba is about - simple, healthy, delicious cooking, organic ingredients, no refined sugar, no nasty ingredients.
The care and passion of the lovely people running it clearly shows in the food, everything is fresh, every bite is well thought through and delicious, menu is small with a set menu changing daily. Even coffee is the best one I've had while in Portugal, it went well with the tasty (also refined sugar free) desserts, we tried all four and they were all great. There is also a small retail shelving where you can buy some organic products, plant milk, beans, etc.
Café is very popular with locals which is not surprising considering quality of the food and very reasonable prices.
I highly recommend you visit it when in Albufeira.

Pros: Fantastic healthy organic food, Reasonably priced, Set menu changing daily

My first Macrobiotic meal

I had my first macrobiotic meal yesterday! I didn't know what to expect until the guy explained in detail. It started with beetroot soup, which tasted like the best beetroot soup there was - superb. What followed was a meal with so many different (to me) flavours that I was curious to see what the next one was like! Home-made pickled radish - now there's a taste. Even the green stuff that I thought was decoration was really tasty. I always thought that veggi food was bland......not here! Lovely surroundings. Clean as can be. What a pleasant place to enjoy life for a while.

Pros: Fresh, clean, Pleasant

Cons: non

Best place in Albufeira

Fantastic café with the sweetest staff.
The food is made with so much attention to details, it is original and has a fresh taste. Some of the best food I've had for a long time.
High level of service and we got to taste some of the dried Alfarroba plants.
Very reasonably priced for both the delicious food and vegan goods they sell.

I highly recommend visiting Alfarroba Café in Albufeira.

Pros: Organic and locally grown, Friendly staff, Excellent food for a nice price

Cons: Non

new vegetarian and excellent

This restaurant just recently opened. The owners were friendly and hard working. I would support any new vegan/ vegetarian restaurant. We ordered the tempeh burger and wine. We ate in the patio and enjoyed the meal. The food was good. The cafe was very clean. We will be back again sometime during this vacation.

Solid Vegan Option

Brand new vegan / veggie spot in Albufeira. The only one like it on this side of town. The menu has a lot of drink options with the veggie staples I love - tofu sandwiches, soup, etc!

Pros: price , vegan only, clean
