Amazing food - the huge prawns were delicious . Service was attentive and friendly and the setting is beautiful- feels like you’re in a cave! We really enjoyed it. Only negative is that it is tricky to find - it’s inside Hotel Tivoli and even then we had to ask at the bar!!

Top class service & beautiful food from orderves to desserts . We enjoyed a last dinner @ Páteo Vehlo after 7 nights in Lagos. I think we saved the best to last . Attentive helpful & friendly staff . The food was 10/10 Shared the fish pot . OMG ... Delicious & so nicely served & dished up at the table by our waiter . Finished with orange creme brulee..not to be shared !!! & All accompanied with a smooth red Portuguese wine .. which our waitress helped us choose. A quiet gem upstairs ( both an outside & inside seating area ) Tip ...to access restaurant you must enter the Tivoli Hotel & turn left @ the top of the staircase

Value for money was not wow. We could find much better quality with this price. The indoor was too squeezed . Outside tables were better but the weather was windy so we stayed indoor.

To get to the restaurant you have to enter through the hotel. And once you are there is like you are in a Greek island!! Beautiful, cozy and away from the crowds. The food is amazing! And the service impecable. It is now one of our favorites restaurants in Lagos

The ambiance was everything a traveling US girlie was looking for, for the full Portugal experience in the Algarve. The waiters helped with choosing the most delightful meal and wine paring. We shared everything and were given complimentary sparking wine (champagne) that was such a sweet gesture as three teacher friends celebrating school being out for the summer! We would love to go back and recommended it to others we met in town!

Great food. Porterhouse steaks were very good. Fish (two prawn dishes) were great. Bread with sausage was great. Servers were all really nice and helpful. Service was slow though despite the restaurant being half empty. Took 2 1/2 hours for two course meal with drinks. Was very nice but very slow.

Perfect setting and everything was wonderful. The wine was great, the meat perfectly cooked, the twist on the algarve’s typical entree delicious. Honestly, I can’t wait to go back.

Such a beautiful restaurant. The grilled prawns were amazing. I didn’t want to leave. It was so charming. Go at the golden hour and watch the light change on the buildings.

The food was wonderful, the service pristine and the ambience is calm with soothing Fado in the background and decoration of moorish and Greek themes. We loved it. So good to be in a high end place that is not excessively sophisticated, but that one feels getting total attention and dedication. We highly recommend dining here.

We enjoyed this restaurant so much, we went back the following evening! The food on both occasions was superb as was the service and the lamb chops on the first night were exquisite - nearly ordered them again. First night the ambience was quiet with only a couple of other diners but the waiting staff were top notch and gave of their time with some great chat. It was busier the second night which gave the place a much better atmosphere. Definitely recommend a visit to this super restaurant.

A perfect start to our holiday We had Chateaubriand, which was cooked to perfection, served with stunning vegetables and washes down with a gorgeous bottle of Portuguese red. We were looked after by Letitia who made us feel very welcome. Would definitely return here and recommend.

Certainly the best experience we had in Lagos. What a hideaway from the otherwise busy beautiful Lagos! A three hours dining experience - service, ambience, food. Absolutely amazing and highly recommendable. Make a reservation and don’t come spontaneous.

The ambiance is nice, the service is more than ok, the ladies in charge are doing a great job, the food on the other hand is a very dissapointing experience. The taste of the food is missing, the used products are not of the best quality and therefor the taste is bland.

I asked for a dessert plate with note happy anniversary which at first I forgot. Then they served us this big cake without even telling us the price of that cake. Just got surprised in the end when I got the bill that the cake is 20 euro . It’s like common sense; 2 people cannot eat a big cake . They made sure they gave us the most expensive cake . I found it very sneaky . And btw we are guests at your hotel and the whole experience was totally 2/10. Food was ok but service is absolutely 0/10. Very bad service !
