7.5/10Quality of food was high, our pasta dishes were very tasty and spicy although portion size relatively small. All servers were friendly, welcoming and efficient. Great wine list. Try to get a table outside or near the door if you can. Our table was at the back and it was quite hot with a slight smell of damp pub which was a little unpleasant. Quite expensive but the quality of the food is very obvious and staff are invested in the restaurant ethos.
Bossa Tavira • Owner
Dear Mr Farr, Thank you for you comment. Is the first time that we had a complain about a “damp pub”, our restaurant is cleaned daily and the smell that you refer is new for us, we are sorry if you felt it but probably it was probably a one-off event. Kind regards

10/10This was our first (certainly not our last) visit to Bossa. We live in Tavira and while we eat out frequently, we have our favorite places that we like to support. We’ve walked past Bossa numerous times and it was always busy and has very nice ambiance, but we never stopped to dine. It was my wife’s birthday so I decided to try something new. I was everything I’d hoped for and then some. The staff, particularly Alessandra, were very kind, engaging and professional. The staff has clearly been trained to be of service, not just the basics. The topper was when we ordered dessert the staff delivered it with a candle and sang happy birthday to her. As we paid and were leaving Alessandra made a point to thank us personally and again wished my wife a happy birthday. Needless to say, I scored lots of points with my wife.

7.5/10
We had lunch at this place. The service was nice. I had tuna steak and unfortunately for the price ~24 eur, it was bad. Overcooked, covered with too much sesame, and was not a nice portion size. The vegetables were alright, nothing extraordinary. I have some doubts about so good comments for this place. When I mentioned that tuna was overcooked, I got a comment from waiter that “ah okay.” If the restaurant is giving importance of caring the customer’s opinion, they should aim to fix it with a gesture. Also, note to owner of this place; stop defending that your food is the best; focus the opinions of your customer.

Dear Berkeley, Thank you for your comment. I’m so sorry that you didn’t have a good experience at Bossa. I also apologise the waiter reply, that’s not the way that should be. Regarding my self, I didn’t say with you mentioned, I was in a regular clients table and said that I was going to have for my lunch the same as she had as I love it. In any case, I’m quit confident that Bossa is a great restaurant, and if you would like to come back please let me know. Kind regards Alessandra

6.5/10Second time there This time had a problem with food served duck breast uncuttable never mind chewable, beef the same. Few restaurants are perfect but I measured them on how they deal with a problem when there is one. Duck charge but beef ignored.
Bossa Tavira • Owner
Dear Mr Patrick, A Iasked both of you if the food as good, you told abou the duck and as you said I changed as you asked for. You wife was eating he picanha and didn't complain about it, I thought she was satisfied., that’s all. As you know my restaurant you could had told me and if it was a plroblem I would have changed. Kind regards Alessandra

10/10Make a reservation. You don’t want to lose out on eating here. The hostess is high energy, engaging, and delightful. The food was so good that a new couple sitting down next to us asked what we were having and ordered the same! Oh, and order the chocolate cake for desert. You’ll feel a little guilty, but who cares!

9/10warm welcome, innovative food and charming ambience. much better that a michelin restaurant i visited in Faro where the arrogant manager could take lessons from the owner here. i have worked in the service industry for many years and if the piece of fish at the restaurant in Faro had come out of my kitchen, we would have been fired soend your money in Bossa much better value
