5.5/10Having had a wonderful meal here last year we were eager to return. However, we were really disappointed - two of the three meals were really not great. The duck leg was tough and when asked and told, they said they would mention it to the chef but didn't say what the chef had said. The seafood pasta, whilst having a few large pieces of fish, was still minimal in quantity and was very different to the dish served the previous year which had been brilliant. My daughter loves seafood pasta but couldn't eat much of this offering. Unfortunately, as there are so many wonderful restaurants we won't be returning next year. We were really disappointed.

10/10All four of us were very impressed with the meals we ordered. The service was the best we experienced in the Algarve. We sat outside and it was quiet and intimate.

Lovely, serene atmosphere and wonderful food. Staff are all very nice and friendly. Would go back again in an instant if we were staying longer in the area.

10/10
The service from this family run establishment is exemplary and Bernardo really stood out. The food was outstanding and the beef entrecote was simply the best we have tasted. The Algarvian red wine that we chose was something we have not tasted before, but expertly guided by Bernardo and his knowledge we will certainly look for in the future, it was delicious. We will definitely visit again when we come to Carvoeiro as this is a hidden gem of a place and should certainly be on your list of places to eat.

10/10Literally the best fish dish I have had in my lifetime (sea bass) and the same could be said about the bruschetta.. I believe one of the owners served us and she was the sweetest person we have met in Portugal to date!

10/10The welcome was excellent. Great wine selection from around the world. The salmon we had was cooked in an orange sauce which gave it a nice flavour and it just flaked away all at a reasonable price

9.5/10Very friendly and welcoming service. The Cataplana was traditionally prepared and felt like eating at your grandmother’s kitchen, extremely fresh and made with a lot of love. Recommended

9.5/10The food is absolutely fantastic. We were a table of 8 and every dish was fabulous. I had the grilled snapper and it was absolute perfection. The Vongole and Seafood pasta were exceptional too. We sat outside and the ambience was just perfect. We will definitely be returning!

8/10We had an 8pm booking on a very busy night in July for 4 people. We were seated at the back but would have rathered sit at the front where there is a nicer ambience. Our waiter was very professional and very nice. We didn't have starters. We ordered bread this took forever to come. There was also a long delay with our main courses. The pork loin stuffed with figs was beautiful . The desserts were nice. Would recommend but be prepared to wait on a busy night.
