Brilliant meal and different to the standard food you get in most restaurants across Tavira. Our new favourite place to go to each trip. Food is cooked over a wood fire, both fish and meat options were delicious.

Reception was OK, door was locked and had to be allowed access. Once in and at table service was OK. No gluten free Covert (not unusual) but main dishes were pretty good for the three of us. Wine was expensive for the Algarve, don’t know why some restaurants decided to charge more than average UK prices when you can get a good bottle of wine for less than €5 in the top supermarkets ( average bottle for €2) yet €25 in this restaurant?. Service was very good, lots of interaction with the young staff team who were clearly supported to chat to diners. All in all a good meal but unnecessarily expensive and a strange entry and exit process!

Thank you for your feedback — we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Regarding gluten-free options, we regularly welcome gluten-free guests and do offer corn toast as part of our gluten-free couvert. We kindly ask guests to inform our team of any dietary requirements, as our staff are always happy to accommodate these requests. Concerning our wine selection, we focus on curated wines rather than supermarket labels. Our pricing reflects not only the quality and origin of the wines, but also professional storage, handling, and service, which we believe are an important part of the overall dining experience. As for the entrance, the door is kept closed at times due to winds and the power of our kitchen extraction system, which ensures a comfortable environment inside the restaurant. During warmer months, the door remains open to welcome our guests more openly. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again in the future and providing an even more enjoyable experience.

Very welcoming and great service. We’re going back for a second time to sample more of the super menu items that we couldn’t fit in first time around!

A great new restaurant in the centre of old town Tavira. Staff were friendly and efficient. Hubby loved his lamb shank and especially the rice! My fish of the day was good without being exceptional. Nice vibe…comfy and a little more tastefully decorated than most local restaurants. We enjoyed it!

We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and offer you an even better experience next time.
