anything new?

True Stacey, its a bit like a works canteen, but a set meal with Wine is about 8 Euro's, you can have seconds and more Wine at no extra cost, but beware the Wine is not for the faint hearted. I've know weaker paint remover. They do have a seperate bar which you can get beer at quite a reasonable price.

[scottishstacey]

What kind of food do they do. Hmm lol the wine might be a bit too strong for me then i dont drink wine often and when i do usually 2 glasses get me tipsy! im a lightweight lol. I think i'll definitely give it a visit tho and if we dont like it we dont have to go back

[SAM SPARKLE]

Well, as the price implies its pretty basic, Chicken and Chips, Steak and Chips, Pork Steak and chips, you get the picture.
I have to admit I haven't been for ages, but you can have a good nights craic up there as its usually v busy, alot of the Ex Pats use it.

[scottishstacey]

That suits me, i like chicken and chips and dave likes steak! Are the menu's in english? Daves trying to learn portugese, he listens to a cd everynight so hopefully he can help us out a bit if theres no english lol

[SAM SPARKLE]

Prato do Dia is the phrase you need, I don't think they speak v much English, if at all. You can't really screw up Chicken, but the quality of the steak is reflected in the price, so beware.

I will be playing Golf in Ireland when you are there (no doubt in the rain). so have a great time, don't forget to visit the Roundup, the best bar for entertainment in Carvoeiro

[scottishstacey]

Ill make sure he knows that phrase then lol where in ireland are you off to? hope the weathers nice for you. ill def try the roundup, going to try visit every bad in carvoeiro, for research purposes of course lol

[SAM SPARKLE]

Will be based in Roscrea, Tipperary and playing a few courses in the surrounding area. I'm sure your research will be loads of fun

Hi Sam

Talking to Richard today and he sends his regards.

Re Escondidinho - two tips:- order the jarro wine (much better than the bottled stuff) and if ordering steak look for what knives are being used - ordinary knives = OK, steak knives = leather

[SAM SPARKLE]

Thanks Roy,

Please pass on my best regards to him and Janet when you see them next.

[scottishstacey]

cheers for the tips!

Thats the Escondidinho, its up on the Quinta - all you can eat and drink for about 8 euro's.

lol seriously!? is it nice? dave will never be out the place then haha! he was the only one out the whole group that could eat the american portions last year lol hes going to come back from portugal with a pot belly!

So long as it's not YOU with the pot belly

Have a good time and enjoy the experience, especially getting Mum rocking on the Honey stuff ( I did see some for sale in on of the bottle shops near the square, Hariuca rings a bell) then on the banana, way to go !!

[scottishstacey]

Lol I've still yet to see her drunk but ill try my best! Last time we were in portugal she bought a bottle of that limoncello liquour, we didn't get one drop!! If anybody else has any tips for other places to try then please let me know
