Restaurant recommendation.

Hi, my wife and I have been given a night off from the kids next Tuesday and would like to eat somewhere a bit different to your average family restaurants in town. I just tried to book Rei das Praias but was rather rudely told they had 1 table left, in the middle, inside. Have been to Bon Bon, Hexa...

Re: O Flamingo

I booked a table for 7 people at O Flamingo for last Saturday night. We arrived at 8pm to find the place locked up and deserted! No sign to explain why. Unbelievable!

Men's barber.

Hi, can anyone tell me if there's an English speaking men's barber in the area, please? I'm flying out tomorrow for 3 weeks and will need my Barnet chopped at some point. Cheers, Monty.

Restaurants within walking distance.

Hi all, this July, we're staying in a villa off of Rua do Paraiso, close to Vila Nova complex, called Villa Eva. We will have a hire car but really don't want to be driving every night of the 3 weeks. I know that L'Orange and obviously Restaurante Vila Nova are very close by, but I was wondering how...

Re: Vila nova mini market

That's music to my ears, Tricky! We're staying in a villa nearby, this summer, and being the only designated driver, will save me a lot of bother and petrol. Does it just stock fresh bread, fruit etc or also the more important stuff like Sagres, Alvarinho, gin, ice.....?

Re: Chicken George

Hi, haven't been to Carvoeiro since 2014 but am really looking forward to our 3 weeks in July/August. Firstly, I take it that Chicken George is still up and running? Secondly, does anyone know if he's definitely open on a Sunday evening? Thanks, Monty.

O Castelo

Hi, I've just read on TripAdvisor that O Castelo is no longer an Indian restaurant, and is now just a guest house, and that the Indian restaurant has moved to Estrada do Farol. Can anyone confirm this please, as we were looking forward to a curry with a view.

Re: O farol

Hi, does anyone know which night of the week O Farol has live music, this summer? We were there 3 years ago and there was a guy called Paulo who sung on a Monday night and the kids loved him! Can anyone tell me if Paulo is still the resident singer and which night(s) he performs? Thanks, Monty.

Re: Walking distance to Restaurante VdM.

Yes dj, I'm talking about Restaurante Vale do Milho and not the club house. We did eat here a couple of times but that was back in about 1990 when I was 15, (I'm now 38!) and remember it being good, but obviously a lot could have changed by now! It seems to be one of those restaurants that hardly ge...

Re: Walking distance to Restaurante VdM.

Cheers dj. I'm happy to walk anywhere but I'm only asking because I'll have a few women and children with me who start moaning after 100 yards. I'll walk up there myself to book a table and judge wether or not it'll be too much for the others. Out of interest, would you recommend Restaurante VdM?

Walking distance to Restaurante VdM.

Hi. We're staying in a villa called Casa Cristal in August. From what I can make out from the map provided, if you're coming out of town on Estrada Farol, you take a left turn just after the Baia Cristal hotel, and the villa is a short way up on the right. Can anyone tell me roughly how long it woul...

Re: poco partido 1st visit

Hi. Does anyone have an update on Poco Partido? Is it still closed or has someone else taken it over? If so, what's it like?
