A Tasquinha Lagoa

[EMM]

If true we will have to give it a try .
We can remember the " old Phoenix nights " one year they had a young Portuguese guy working there who somehow always got us to stop for a drink.
Being two drinks for the price of I may have had something to do with it.

Absolutely true , seen the notice in the door. But will confirm after meal on Saturday at la tasquina

Just seen that la tasquina is opening at the old Phoenix nights restaurant at monte Carvoeiro in May. Big restaurant to fill but let's hope that Marcos reputation earns him at lot of customers. Lots of luck

Please can you ascertain if this is "as well as" or "instead of" A Tasquinha in Lagoa ?

Hope the former .....current location has great atmosphere, dificult to see how Phoenix Nights will replicate that.

The new one opens 1st May. There is a reception by invitation 26th April.

Just returned from the "soft opening " of the new Tasquinha in Monte Carvoeiro, lovely and wish them all the best for the venture in Carvoeiro

We went to Tasquinhas opening bash last night.
The restaurant looks great, and the menu largely the same as at Lagoa.

I really hope they can make a go of it. That they can gear up successfully from 5 tables, with maybe 20 covers a night to 50 tables, and maybe 150 covers.
Its a big ask.

I hope they make it work.

Marco is smashing it very pleased for them both.

Just back. Tried the new place at Monte. Pleasant evening - good food and attentive service. Like others, though, I think they'll have their hands full in replicating the atmosphere of Lagoa in such a large place. There were four couples in when we went. Having said that, I wish them every success. It was mentioned to us in passing that the Lagoa premises are likely to be turned into a Tapas bar.

sound the alarm bells; great food & wine menu, big floor area inside & out, nice furniture, cutlery etc., but precious few punters; wrong location? no press?
something is wrong, should be busier at this time of year, so I fear for them

We were there one night last week. All tables inside were occupied. Yet service was impeccable, friendly and welcoming.

I just love his large tables, well spaced - and not, I suspect, because he wants to make it look full.

According to their Facebook page they are taking bookings for dinner on Friday with live music: Next friday live music at "A Tasquinha" - Carvoeiro with the great Saraband Duo to reserve a table for dinner call 282 359 129 or910 852 933

Went there yesterday at about 1.30pm. There was one couple, too hot outside. Took a while for anyone to come out. Cheap, definitely. Not bad food for €9.50. Not so sure I would rave about it. They had pasta with tomato and basil, sea bream, chicken wings and I think pork. Starter only vegetable soup or salad. Pudding almond torte, (pretty sweet and sickly) or chocolate cake. If they only have that many people I cannot see how they will make a living.
