Re: Chicken George - closed?

That’s a shame , we were looking forward to visiting Chicken George whilst on holiday this year. If anyone sees George or his sister please wish him well . We’ve had some great times there over the years though latterly the restaurant has been very quiet. Last September when we went we were greeted ...

Re: Restaurant recommendation.

Agree with Maximes or O Flamingo , which is just up the hill from Maximes. We thought that the menu is a bit different to the usual restaurants and there is also outdoor eating space. We once went to Rei das Praias for a special honeymoon meal and vowed never to return. The staff were rude , uncarin...

Re: Train to ferragudo

I think the little train still goes to Ferragudo a couple of times a week but there is now the hop on hop off bus that goes to Ferragudo. It runs every day every 30-40 mins from 9am to 11pm and costa 6€ for 12 hours. You can spend as much time in Ferragudo as you like.

Re: Rustic

This restaurant now has different people running it and is called Alfanzina. It is now being run by the guy who used to run O Literal in Benagil. We ate their last week and thoroughly enjoyed the food. The service was good too. The restaurant was quite busy and as there is a large outdoor space we w...

Re: O'Stop

We went to this restaurant last week and were rather disappointed. We have been going here for years and it is usually busy on a summers evening but last week there were very few people there and the food did not seem up to the high standard of a couple of years ago. We had a lovely waiter but the s...

Re: A Tasquinha Monte Carvoeiro

We had an excellent lunch here last week . Three courses plus couvert , large bottle of water, a glass of wine for me and a large beer for my husband for 12.50 euros each . It was quite busy and at those prices it is very good value. There is plenty of choice on the menu so should be something for e...

O Flamingo

We have just returned from Carvoeiro , where we have been going for many years, but for some reason had never been to this restaurant before . We had a very nice meal in the lovely outdoor space but unfortunately there were very few people there. We ate there on Tuesday and when we passed on Friday ...

Re: O'Stop

It sounds like the restaurant at Algar Seco. We had a similar experience there a couple of years ago and have never been back since. We waited ages for the food to come, it was very poor and very expensive

Re: Rustic

Not sure whether there was anything unusual on the menu as we rarely look beyond the fish. They do have a couple of veggie dishes and I'm sure that there was a note on the menu to say that gluten free pasta was available.

Rustic

This restaurant has recently opened just outside Rocha Brava ( it is where Raphiols used to be) and is run by Helder and his son Christiano , who both used to work at Julio's . The food is good with large portions . The fresh fish is not sold by weight so is very reasonably priced and it was a pleas...

Re: Trips and Advice

We have used Dolphin Seafaris out of both Praia da Rocha Marina and Lagos marina numerous times. Always had great trips with a very nice crew, and Eco friendly as they do not feed the dolphins.

Re: O Algar

I have been going here for years, 2 or 3 times on each holiday. Ana and Carlos , and their sons Roberto and Edgar are good friends. Their fresh fish is amazing (though not cheap) and every dish is worth trying. Ana's chocolate mousse is wonderful. We ate there a couple of weeks ago and almost every ...

Re: Rei das Praias

We went to this restaurant for the first time in October last year, and although we are frequent visitors to Carvoeiro it is one restaurant we are in no rush to return to. The staff were indifferent and the food nothing special. I was very disappointed as I thought it would be a lovely experience to...
