Almancil, Algarve — since 1986

Warm evenings in Almancil.

Since 1986. Picanha on the grill, full tables and faces we already know by sight.

A house in Almancil

A house where the table knows who returns.

In 1986 we opened in Almancil with regional produce, fire on the grill and a welcoming room. Four decades on, many faces at the table are regulars — and that says everything.

A team regulars already know almost by sight

Figueiral was not built in a year. It was built through repeated dinners, familiar faces and the belief that welcoming well means caring about the detail.

In Almancil, some people simply call us «our restaurant»

At the table

Full tables. Forgotten clocks.

Picanha

Brazilian picanha — grilled, sliced at the table.

The dish the press cites and guests order almost by reflex. Careful preparation, the feeling of home — generous meat, visible fire, conversation around it.

Wine

Bottles that keep the evening company, not dominate the table.

Labels gathered over the years — for picanha, for fish, for the dinner that runs late. If you want a suggestion, ask: we know the regulars by heart.

Wine by the glass or bottle — whatever keeps the table talking.

Since 1986

1986

A house that grew with those who came back.

Opening in 1986 meant believing Almancil could have international cooking with the warmth of a family table. Today, part of who we are is the guests who have stayed with us for years — and the team that learns names and preferences.

Picanha as it should be, attentive service and a room where you stay longer than planned.

We always return when we are at Quinta. Never fails — picanha, prawns, bottle open.
