What davidwilliambarnes doesn't like about Snack Helvet:
Came here on our first day return to Olhao and unfortunately had to leave after a 20 minute wait for service. We were not the only ones to wait but there are plenty more cafe bars close by. Shame as it is in a prime place. View all feedback. What johnhp702 likes about Snack Helvet:
On our way to catch the ferry this is our usual stop for an early morning drink/bite to eat whilst watching fishermen bringing their catch in to the market and enjoying the view out to sea. View all feedback.

Fabulous little cafe with views out to sea which is an ideal place to stop and enjoy a spot of breakfast and watch the comings and goings from the fish market.

Fabulous little coffee stop in probably one of the best locations with views out to sea with staff that are very friendly and provide quick service.

Just popped in for a quick drink after a meeting. Great service (and I only had a small beer) and a great location. I will definitely be back.

Rude personnel, but beyond that, low quality food and unjustified high price at the moment of the bill

Rude personnel and full-of-oil toast. With a really high price. Nothing to do with typical Portuguese place. I could have found something similar in the center...

Used to be good, but not so great anymore. Location is still good but others nearby are better.

Very good orange juice and coffee. I didn’t try any of the food. The lady serving speaks excellent French and is really nice. Give her your business!

Suco de laranja e café muito bons. Eu não experimentei nenhuma comida. A senhora que serve fala francês excelente e é muito simpática. Dê a ela o seu negócio!
