We will be in CVO in December and have had a restaurant recommended to us which I have not heard of before.It is O Salmao which I believe is in Monte Carvoeiro.
Has anyone been and whats it like?

Thanks

Definitely recommend it.

OK, its slightly more expensive than many others (and no credit cards as usual), but the food is carefully prepared by Ed, a Scot, in the Kitchen. His wife, Christina manages front of house. She is Portuguese, but has fluent English as a result of her marriage to Ed. This means she speaks English with the most intriguing Scottish-Portuguese accent.

They have special Winter menus, so cannot specifically recommend any dishes. Just ask what the specials are and that's always worth trying. Good for Fish, Meat and for strict Vegetarians by the way.

Enjoy

Agreed Richard - but they are one of the few who DO take credit cards! Well worth a visit.

We always visit when in CVO, and have never had a bad meal there. Christina is very chatty, and it is worth talking to her just to hear her unique accent. It is also becoming even more of a family affair, with her lovely daughter Anna working there for a time.
