... coming from Centianes, you pass Julio´s on the left hand side and then, just before arriving at Rocha Brava, you will find it on the right hand side. I think it´s open ...

It's been open for a few weeks now and the old premises at the end of the out road is now shut.

Which road from Centiannes? The main road from CVO, the Rua du Farol, or the top road?

Be the main road Bruce. Hope it goes well for them, can't stand Julios, yet another bad report from one our guests last week.

We ate here a couple of weeks ago, great food and a fantastic new building (especially as Oswald built it himself), advisable to book though as they were having to turn people away when we were there.

Look forward to trying it out - have been watching the building work progress over the the last couple of years whilst on holiday there.

Very handy for us staying at Rocha Brava. :D

Anyone know of the prices, menu's etc.

Roll on Friday morning - get me away from this depressing weather.

This restaurant is just before you get to Rocha Brava - up the road from Centiannes beach. - Julio's on left then this is just a little further up on the right. Did not look Chinese/Japanese when i was last there in May!!

Looked very Chinese to myself and Janet O in June and last September. Perhaps it was originally going to be Chinese and changed hands. Happens.

We've watched it being built, and always felt that it had the look of a chinese restaurant about it. We'll look forward to trying it when we come out in January.
