• Restaurants open in December?

Posted: **Tue Dec 06, 2005 8:14 pm**

Hi, we are coming out for a few days in December, does anyone know which restaurants in Carvoeiro are open then?

I believe Casa do bife is but was wondering which others will be.

Thanks for the help.

At the moment, from memory, Casa Algarvia, Cantinho, A Gale, A Vela, Maximes, Via Italia, O Indiano, Primavera, Vila Medici are open.

If there are any specific ones you want to know about let me know, and I'll check them out when we go out tomorrow evening.

If bar bistro Algar seco is closed where are the Thursday meetings being held then? Or are they finished?

DaGi, would it be possible for you to let me know when it reopens? I need to book a table for New Years' Eve @ 8.30ish.

Cheers.

One restaurant that isn't mentioned very often is O Farol in Rocha Brava which is open all year round. The food is excellent and waiters really nice. I have tried most in Carvoeiro but this would be my favourite.

Just tried to find out, Michael, but there's no sign or message on the windows. Between Le Bistroquet and Casa do Bife is a message: Closed for holidays till 1st of february. But I think it belongs to Le Bistroquet.

HP, could you book a table for two for 8.30ish on New Year's Eve for us?

If you'd like to join us, feel free to make it a table for as many as you want
