You sure you were in CVO? tis sounds so damn good I will eat at no other place next timeDamien F. wrote:Great Experience!
My wife and came from Monaco for a weekend in the Algarve. After A long day we decided to Stop in Carvoeiro for Dinner. As we were looking at the menu from Tia Ilda my wife spotted the restaurant on the other side of the cliffs and dragged me over to Onze. The terrace was completly full but my wife insisted try it. We waited at the bar for 15 minutes with a Botle of Prosecco.
The layout and the design of the restaurant was very élégant, it reminded me a lot of the cosmopolitan in Monaco. My wife loved the picture series.
As we got seated we were imideatly served by two waiters for drinks and food. As a starter we had the gorgoncola mushrooms and the carpaccio. As a cheese lover I have to complement the kitchen for the gorgoncola sauce. Délicieux!
The food took a bit long, but we were warned by the staff. I ordered a „Surf & Turn“ and my wife ate a Duck and Porcini Risotto. She is a very picky personality, So I was suprised the completly cleaned the plate. 10/10 for taste!
I was dissapointed by the cheese plate, by the limited variety. When I complained the staff offered a choclate cake as compensation, which i should have ordered in the first place, Magnifique!
A lucky pick, I will most definitly return!

When such a flattering review is posted by a newly registered member most regular forum users will, quite understandably, tend to question the motive.Damien F. wrote:Great Experience!

Digging into the toolbox I see the new member is using an email address from "Welcome to 10 Minute Mail - Beat spam with the best disposable e-mail service." and the IP address is with Telepac.pt - but they may of course have expanded to Monaco...

Re: Onze
We ate there on Wednesday evening (November 3rd) with Roy and Carol (roy4eyes) and could not fault it. I guess it helped that we knew Andreas (formerly of Villa Medici and The Tapas Bar). It wasn't busy which probably helped - nevertheless, the attention and quality of the food was excellent.
We were given a 'tour' of the premises and were surprised at the size of the place - especially when you get to the back of the building.
We will certainly return

I have only been there once but found it seriously overpriced for what it is. The fresh fish was corvina and a portion was around 35 euros!
