when we arrived there was a table of 12 in a large empty room. we were the only two for the rest of the evening. the large group was very loud and the server was doing her best to accommodate them. my partner ordered the chicken dish which was very good. I ordered the beef which was extremely tough. the carrots were minuscule and the potatoes are interesting but tasted good. the server inquired how about our food and I told her that I was having trouble chewing the beef. she offered to replace it but my partner was well into her chicken so I declined. the room was quite cold and it was obviously understaffed so that the server was doing her best to accommodate. she did everything she could to help us enjoy our meal. the manager could have come to discuss my meal but apparently refused. I'm sorry but it didn't meet up to my expectations.
Restaurante Convent' BioDear Sir, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not fully meet your expectations. However, we would like to clarify a few points mentioned in your review. At the time of your visit, the restaurant had a table of 12 guests, which does not characterize the room as empty. Regarding the carrots, they are baby carrots, as clearly stated on our menu, and it is normal for them to be small in size. As for the beef dish, whenever a guest is not satisfied, we are always happy to replace the dish immediately, which was promptly offered by our staff at the time. Concerning the room temperature, we would like to inform you that the air conditioning had been on for several hours, ensuring comfortable conditions for our guests. We would also like to point out that, although the reservation was made through TheFork with a 30% discount, it was accepted once you were already at the restaurant, which is not our usual procedure and was done as a gesture of courtesy.

Great setting, but, as the only two diners all evening, it lacked the lively restaurant atmosphere. Service was fine. Unfortunately the quality food (fillet steak, tiger prawns) was ill prepared and overcooked…to the point of some items being charred. Not cheap. Didn’t bother with dessert. Feel sad that such an atmospheric environment couldn’t be matched by the food. Needs a rethink and better publicity/promotion. A couple of permanent resident neighbours had no idea there was a restaurant there.

+2Positives: nice area, motivated staff, quiet place. Negatives: Some food was tasty, some was not. Absolutely no brain: one of our group ended up in the hospital with diarrhoea after eating there. Suggestion: Please strengthen your hygiene and improve your food.
Restaurante Convent' BioDear Alexander, We appreciate your feedback and for highlighting positive aspects such as our location, the peaceful environment, and the dedication of our staff. We are very sorry to hear that one of the members of your group felt unwell. However, we would like to clarify that in our restaurant, all ingredients are prepared daily with great care, and we follow strict hygiene standards. We believe it is highly unlikely that the issue was caused by our food. Nonetheless, we take any sign of dissatisfaction very seriously and are always attentive to improving our customers' experience. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again soon. Sincerely, Denis Jeleascov, Convent'Bio

I would say over condimented, should be toned down and make really nice dishes. Great for experience in a church.

We had requested a warm table inside but on arrival the restaurant was cold and empty so we didn't didn't stay to eat.
Restaurante Convent' BioThank you for your assessment. As I explained to you, we had just opened for dinners and turned on the hot air that only takes 5 minutes to heat the room. Hopefully next time, the room will already be quite hot for your taste.

The food was terrible, but we were told the chef was off sick. Stunningly bad starters and an inedible beef steak. So make sure you check the chef is working before accepting the food.

A most unusual place to eat but quite an experience being a very old convent of some 500 years old Food choice not extensive but catering for all and great to have vegetarian options among meat and fish dishes Food was of an exceptionally high standard and innovative in blends of flavour The only observation which perhaps the nice owners may wish to consider is the external roadside signage which could be enhanced particularly at night Thank you for welcoming us and for the attentive service of the maitre d’ Jonathan and Rachel Williams

The restaurant is in a nice location in a restored old convent. The room inside is beautiful but was very warm so we decided to sit outside. The menu itself looks very interesting and creative. However the execution of the dishes was not good

+3We had a super evening at convent bio, the restaurant is so pretty and welcoming. We had super service, but unfortunately, we were the only guests in there that evening. The restaurant was extremely warm, there is no air-conditioning, understandably, but some fans would have been nice, the door was left open, but there was not much air that evening . The food was very good and beautifully presented.

My family went to this restaurant having found it through The Fork. We were staying near Carvoeiro and jumped in an Uber to get there and back, which was really easy and inexpensive. . Set in an old convent, the simplicity of the surroundings and the lovely music in the background gave us the feeling that some of the standard touristy restaurants don’t. We had been hit by a dubious bill the night before and were looking for something completely different. This is a family run restaurant and the owners really care. The service was attentive and very thoughtful. Our food was a good standard and there were no nasty surprises. We came away feeling that we had chosen very well.

The restaurant is housed in an old monastery which gives it a special ambience. The dishes as devised by a French chef are varied and tastefully prepared. The table service is correct and pleasant. In other words: a restaurant that is definitely worth a visit!

The chapel where the restaurant functions is absolutely beautiful and we're told its history upon arrival, which is very interesting. The couvert was exceptional, desserts were also quite good, but the main dishes were just ok.
Restaurante Convent' BioDear Mrs Daniella thank you for your evaluation. We will try harder to level up to your standards snd hope to receive you again in a near future
