Re: Pashmina indian restaraunt
Finally got back here after our unfortunate experience in June. Were greeted like long lost friends and the owner was still apologising for what happened. Had a wonderful meal with perfect service. Definitely a great addition to the town. Obviously others thought so too as there was a full house

Re: A Tasquinha Monte Carvoeiro
We had a very poor experience there last night. Two disinterested waiters did their best to destroy a very average meal. Service was very slow even though there were only 14 diners. No attempt made to pour the wine or to ask us how our meal was. A second bottle of water never arrived and when it fin...

Re: Car Rental
Been using Algarve Driver for many years now without a blemish. Using their price match guarantee I recently got a reduction of 65% off their listed price. Even I felt guilty booking it

Re: Mar D'Fora (ex O Boteco)
Six of us had a meal there at the beginning of the week and were very pleasantly surprised. Service and food couldn't be faulted and the restaurant rebuild has had a lot of money thrown at it to very good effect. It certainly is expensive but it was attracting a good number of people prepared to spe...

Re: Pashmina indian restaraunt
Seven of us had an unfortunate experience there last night. We had ours starters and then there was a very long delay before somebody finally came over and told us that the gas had stopped. A repair man was supposedly on his way so we waited, but finally gave up as there was no sign of him. The staf...

Havana Bar
It seems that the Havana Bar is closing at the end of October. Kuala Bar has already gone. I'm sure a lot of people are going to miss this institution. Even though the drinks weren't overly strong the craic was mighty.

Re: Oktoberfest
Sorry, I know what craic is, I just wonder where you found the word craigh. The Irish adopted craic from the English word crack :D . Craigh in Irish means agonise, torment or grieve :D :D. That could also be appropriate after a bad day at the races :shock: Oh, and don't use the word cráic, that mean...

Re: Oktoberfest
Great night at this event at the Bier Keller adjacent to the Porches roundabout on the 125. Fantastic oompah band and atmosphere comparable to a miniature Munich beer hall. Staff were all in bavarian costumes, beer in litre tankards and typical food - large in quantity but variable in quality (3 of...

Re: Pimenta Preta
Not been on trip advisor as i have a lot of bad things about the site, ie people put false reviews on especially rival businesses etc. I prefer to read reviews that are more local ie the Carvoeiro forum or wherever I am a web site local to a place I am going to visit. I maybe a little blinkered in ...

Re: Pimenta Preta
Maybe the old adage is being used "if its not broken don't fix it" & I have yet to see a bad review about the place We find enough choices on the menu to satisfy us & when we have taken friends & family there. You can also add or take away items on the menu which we sometimes do which is never a pr...

Re: Pimenta Preta
If you want quality food you should try La Bella Vita at Clube Atlantico. In my opinion the best food for miles around ! It is, but the menu hasn't changed for years, and it has got very expensive. They always have scallops with ravioli and truffle on as a special starter and they don't tell you th...

Eat early or eat late if you want good service/food. Before seven or after nine. In between can be frantic

Re: Private boat charter for 12 people?
What about this? Check them out on trip advisor. They collect from where you are staying

Re: Mona Lisa
We've been going there for many years, but sad to say I don't think we will be back after last night. It took nearly two hours for our pizzas to be served. When we started complaining, after an hour, Antonio's son just laughed and told us to order more drink.

Re: Car Hire
What about Goldcar Rental? Does anyone have any experience with them? I would love to use Algarve Driver because of the good reviews here but because of budget I need to pay rental up front. Does Algarve Driver have an option to pay full rental thru their site at time of booking? Why do you need to...
