We ate at Casa Algarvia on Wednesday evening. The food was very good, but no complimentary port for us! Only slight complaint was that we had a table for two in front of the pillar in the left hand side of the restaurant - it was like being in a flight path with staff rushing (almost running) past o...

Thanks - only saw these replies this morning, but in the meantime had opted for O'Indiano last night. Both our meals were fine and I'd happily return. Dishes were less spicey/hot than described in my view but nice regardless.

We fancy a curry before we head home on Friday - which do people rate as the best Indian restaurant in Carvoeiro?

Thanks for your replies. Really looking forward to it now, although current weather forecast for our arrival day (Mon 5th) looks pretty poor - hopefully that will be isolated, if accurate.

We'll be in Carvoeiro next week for our first out-of-season holiday, having previously been 5+ times in July/August with children. Interested in others' views on this time of year. Are all/most restaurants open? What is weather likely to be? What are the autumn must-dos and what is worth avoiding? C...

Thanks for the new suggestions. 5 days and counting down!

Hi I've asked this a couple of times in the last 5-6 years, but are there any restaurants folk would currently recommend for vegetarians like my wife? From previous visits we like Maximes, Elle & Ellas, Barnards, Casa Velha do Pescador and Village Inn. But is there anywhere new we should try when we...

Thanks, not surprised. Never trust anything associated with the Daily Mail!

I've just come across a recent article at http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/bargains-a ... z1CPJxvtF6 which says "Prices have fallen 49% in Portugal over the last 12 months". Not having visited since 2009, is there any truth in it?

I would imagine nobody really cares, but I want to shout it from the rooftops. Having visited for the first time at Easter this year and fallen in love with CVO I have booked to return in June 2011. Villa Granuaile booked (thanks girls) and flights just booked. We enjoyed really good weather at Eas...

Thanks for the responses to date - very helpful . Our 25 July departure is beginning to feel not too far away!

We are returning to CVO late July for the first time since 2006. My wife and eldest daughter are strict veggies (i.e. no fish) and last time the forum was really helpful with planning our dining. In particular we found El & Ela, Maximes, L'Orange, Casa Velha do Pescador at Benagil and The Village In...

25 July to 8 Aug - can't wait!!!

Michael re: credit cards - I can't be too certain as we always planned to pay cash so the issue didn't arise. L'Orange definitely don't accept credit cards, but do accept debit cards. Non-acceptance of credit cards seemed to be almost standard from my recollection of menus, but I could't say yes/no ...

1. El & Ella (double banana pudding!)
2. Maximes
3. Village Inn
4. Casa Velha do Pescador
