This restaurant is doomed to fail I believe. We had a confirmed reservation for three on Wednesday for an outside table at 8pm. On arrival they said we could only sit inside!! I spoke with both the young "owners" but despite having been there several times and them knowing we live here they would not give us any of the vacant tables on the terrace. You can be assured I told them in no uncertain terms that I will never return. Are they really so stupid thinking they can treat locals like this and survive when the tourists are gone?? Anyway we went to Primavera and had a better meal (we only booked Onze so my 11 year old son could go to the beach and listen to the music whilst we had coffee etc).

Give Onze a miss they do not deserve your custom!!!

They class it as Mediterranean Cuisine - walked past it a few times and it always seemed fairly busy so they must be doing something right.

Can't help you there I'm afraid Stacey - didn't really look at the prices - I suspect someone else will though. :)

Stacey it is on there, look at the top and you see 'home' 'menu' 'our promise' etc click on and it brings the menus up.

It is not highlighted until you click onto it. :D

Just got back from 2 weeks and we went there twice. First time it was great, fast and friendly, then we went again and how different it was. We had a night out from the 2 kids so were loving the chance to chat and enjoy the view but everyone around was not happy, 1 hour for a pizza!! thats not good. we had to wait about an hour but were chatting so didnt mind, glad we didnt have the kids otherwise it would have been a nightmare. Wouldn#t go back though as it just seems to want to take your money and run.

Loved all the others though including Villa Medici which had a great play area for the kids.

Hi
Just returned from our 8th visit to Carvoeiro, we have a property there, went to onze and had a lovely meal, although a long wait for mains, and my duck was overcooked with very little sauce, and NO MASH potatoe which was stated on menu instead new spuds, did mention all this on exit and was promised a drink on the house on return visit, Lovely location and ambience but slightly overpriced for what it is, my husband, son and daughter all enjoyed their meals.

was in CVO for the month of September and dined out most nights, without a doubt this is the worst restaurant in CVO, avoid like the plaque. Elle and Ella far superior and cheaper.
