Re: Best restaurants for kids

Thanks for the reply - is this it: http://www.julios-restaurant.com/ When I put it in google that's what came up but thought that was a different place!

Best restaurants for kids

Hi All

We are coming back to Carvoeiro on Sunday and just wondered what are the best restaurants for kids? Are there any that have gardens or entertainment etc?

We normally go to O'Barco's as it's next to the beach but looking for other alternatives! :D

Cheers

Mortgage

Hi Guys Sorry if this has been posted before but I couldn't find an answer.

Any benefits either way? Ideally I wanted to b...

Re: Where to stay at Easter

I have to say I am slightly leaning towards MD as it's an apartments rather than hotel so more space and cooking facilities etc. @PTBUXTON d...
