in the last weekNos atendieron de maravilla desde el primer momento. Todo el personal fue muy amable, atento y cercano, lo que hizo que la experiencia fuera todavía mejor. La comida estaba realmente deliciosa. Las patatas caseras estaban buenísimas y la ración de pollo era abundante, jugosa y con mucho sabor. Se nota el cuidado tanto en la preparación como en el servicio. Sin duda, un restaurante para repetir.

in the last weekRestaurant à fuir, le poulet fait 600 g à 24 € pour vous dire un poulet Piti Piri d’habitude c’est 12 euros . Les frites sont congelées. Le personnel ne parle pas la langue et en plus de cela tout est super cher, comme tout l’ensemble de ces restaurant. Je viens depuis des années dans ces restaurants, et je ne trouve ni la qualité ni la compétence. Puis par contre les prix eux ont explosé.

a week agoWe have been coming to this restaurant for many years, and previously it has been a fabulous place to enjoy dinner...... Not any more. Its very obviously been taken over by a new team for whom standards are different. Tonight I had the Picanha steak which is half the meal it was previously in terms of size of steaks and much more expensive. In addition it was cold and the chimichurri was appalling, small and poorly made. My wife had the combo shared with our son, which again was cold, with poor cuts of fatty meat. We visit this place when in the Algarve on holiday so this deterioration may have existed for some time, but it is not the restaurant it was last time we came. We wont visit again as there are too many lovely more reasonable places to eat locally.
