The food was excellent, wide variety of tapas and good beverage options. The only downside was the service. The waiter who initially served us did not have the proper training on how to interact with customers and even warned us not to stain the Menus. The other staff were very friendly and professional.

An enjoyable evening, food really good but did miss an item ordered. Was a bit difficult to get the attention of staff latterly but that’s due to them being rather busy. Service with a smile and genuinely nice folks. Thank you!

We visit every year and the food and service is always excellent. A fabulous wine selection, the tapas are always delicious and make sure to save room for dessert! We shared the steak which was on special and it was fantastic. We look forward to our next visit :)

The restaurant was basically empty and we were put into the corner of the back of the restaurant. We ordered some drinks which was all good but then waited 45 minutes to order food after asking members of staff 2-3 times. We wrote all of our food order on a list and then only received half of the food order. The plates were taken away and we asked for the rest of the food to be sent over which they had forgotten. We were continually ignored and then had to ask for the bill three times. After explaining our problems with the experience there was not any proper explanation given. We are repeat customers of this restaurant and this time the service was very poor. I’m sure we will come back to give it another go but hope we don’t get this experience again.

Been coming to Vale do Lobo for over 20 years and although tried almost all local restaurants had not been to Simply Tapas and Vinho. What a mistake ! One of the best restaurants we’ve been to for excellent quality food and value. Every dish was delicious we will definitely be back every visit from now on at least once.

A happy place with a buzzing team who are focused on joy. To paraphrase one of their blackboard mantras, life is too short to pass this place by. Go, enjoy.
