Petiscos Capella in Ferragudo

As part of our odyssey finding good new places to eat, we found and tried this tapas bar in Ferragudo for a light lunch. Great range of interesting tapas. From usuals like sardines, pork cheeks and prawns to moray eel and snails. All very reasonably priced as our the drinks. Not in a fashionable par...

Lagoa restaurants

Tried two places this week in Lagoa and both really good. Never really ate in Lagoa before except at Chrissys. Tapas No Bucho in the centre was popular at lunchtime and offers tasty tapas and good wine by the glass and you can sit outside. Then discovered Gaspacho e Midas opposite the GNR station wh...

Re: Faro Airport

In addition to last post, only 20 odd on EJ flight. Not temperature checked at Faro (or at Luton I think), but was at our hotel.

Re: Open restaurants?

Hi PT Buxton. Shame about the apathy on this forum. I am using Carvoeiro Village Facebook page now as very active. Carvoeiro was quite lively over New Year, maybe helped by having the fireworks. We went to Casa Algarvia, Chefs Kitchen, Earth Cafe, Cafe Fino and Villa Medici and a number of bars on N...

Open restaurants?

Coming out this Sunday until after New Year. The Weather looks great. Which restaurants in the area do people know are open at the moment?

Re: newsletter/webcam

This forum has got very quiet in contrast the Carvoeiro forum Facebook page which is much more rewarding with posts and photos daily. Much easier to interact with it too.
I asked for NYE suggestions over a week ago and when last looked had only two replies.

Re: Chef’s Kitchen

Went for second time in mid October. Busy as always and best to book. Really well designed inside and outside. Popular with families and couples. It’s pricey but the food is high quality. The tenderloin and Kofta mains were excellent as was the tempura prawn and smoked mackerel starters. The staff a...

Restaurant de Castelejo

This is a great cafe sitting above the superb Praia de Castelejo beach on the West Coast. The beach goes out for miles and popular with surfers and families. Would be dramatic on a stormy day. The cafe sits above the beach and has snacks and main meals including good fish. Enjoyed a good octopus sal...

Jazz in the Wineries

Went to a great event yesterday in Amancil. It was part of 365 Algarve’s programme. It was put on by the Joa Clara vineyard and in a small hall as they are building on their site. We were given three different wines to try with a tapas plate with each one while Beatrice and her group played good jaz...

Praia de Odeceixe

Not used to the local beaches being so busy, went up the West Coast on traffic free roads and discovered this lovely family friendly beach between two cliffs, 15 minutes north of Aljezur. It is very flat and goes out for a long way at low tide. Bordered by a river that goes up to the pretty village ...
