Re: The new Casa Algarvia

We went here again recently. And again, had the fillet stone steak. Gorgeous! And we got a complementary port at the end too. Some people didn't though, I noticed. I wondered if it was based on how much you spent or what you ordered?

Re: poco partido 1st visit

We went to O Canto on our holiday a couple of weeks ago. Tony has again excelled himself with this restaurant. He was as attentive as usual and the food was fantastic. I can't recommend him enough!

Re: The new Casa Algarvia

I think you're probably right American Pie. I wasn't going to bother after reading the not too brilliant reviews on here, they're always good, balanced reviews. We particularly wanted a stone steak that night though, and Mrs C liked the look of CA, so we went for it. Glad we did! If the changes were...

Re: The new Casa Algarvia

We went there the other night and were impressed. We had the fillet stone steak and it was gorgeous! We were asked if we wanted covert, we weren't rushed, and not only did we get port with the bill, it was a decent port and a decent measure. Can't comment on dessert as we were stuffed. We would defi...

Re: First October visit

We went out late October last year and had a great time. It was sunny and hot, all the restaurants were open and it wasn't quite so busy. We're coming out this Saturday. Can't wait.

River boat trip

Hi,
Me and Mrs C are over in CVO next week and we'd like to do a river boat trip. I remember seeing boats moored alongside the river in Silves before. Does anyone have any info on river boat trips in the area? Any info greatly received, thanks.

Re: Car Hire

Goldcar were also very aggressive when I wouldn't take up their damage waiver insurance when I said I'd already got waiver insurance.

Re: GOLDCAR - Beware

I got stung by Goldcar this year too - won't be using them again. Thet were very rude when I said i didn't want their damage waiver insurance because I had my own. Wanted to look at my policy then said it wasn't as good as theirs, but I managed to stick to my guns. I very nearly got back with an emp...

Re: Hiring a car in Lisbon

Tolls are booths and about 18/20 euros each way. To avoid the A22 tolls, come off the main motorway following the signs for Silves and go through there.

Re: Hiring a car in Lisbon

I prebook using carjet.com. They're a sort of comparethemarket.com website where they compare lots of different companies.

I've got a Focus from Lisbon airport for 2 weeks in June/July for 2 weeks for £400 Euros including topup insurance and credit card fee.
