My husband was only half way through his starter when the main course arrived! The staff were pleasant and attentive enough but we didn't feel the need to return.

There was no uncalled for upselling and the covers were clearly marked on the menu as extra items , same for side dishes. We liked it so much we ate here twice . First time had lamb chops which were to die for mint sauce was a bit weird) and my partner had garlic prawns which she says was one of the best things she eat in Tavira. Second time around had a grilled seabass which was magnificent and partner had the prawns again. Great wine to accompany meal. Ignore all the negative comments about this and give it a go , not the only people to think this as it was pretty busy on both occasions including a good sprinkling of locals ... always a good sign

The food was ok, wasn’t bad just nothing special. Service was fine, they made a couple of mistakes with the order. Situated on the road but we weren’t bothered by the cars

If you are looking for a light meal, try the seafood soup. It is excellent with fresh mussels and shrimp. Great location right on the river. read more If you are looking for a light meal, try the seafood soup. It is excellent with fresh mussels and shrimp. Great location right on the river.
