We eat here each time we are in Carvoeiro. This time, the food was excellent as always, but the service was poor.They forgot our drinks, and actually gave me the wrong meal, even though at the time of taking the order the waiter told me it as good choice, he came out and said he had made the mistake...

The food was nice, not spectacular, but the setting made up for it! The poolside setting is really lovely, The food is simple and plain, just not fancy, but was still good

Just had a light lunch here, but it was excellent, Lovely big fluffy omelettes, with huge nicely dressed side salad, and chips. 24 Euros for 2, Jan was lovely, and it was well worth the wee hike up the hill. The full menu looked lovely, and wee bit different from your usual grilled chop, kebab etc

Had a really great meal in the one that overlooks the beach. The best nans we have ever had, lovely fluffy rice, and really flavoursome curries. A real pleasant surprise at the end of the holiday! Meal for 2 with drinks was only 42 euros! Bargain!

The interiors lovely, really quite classy, the staff are lovely, but the food was quite disappointing. Reminded us of the food you would get at a Brewer Faye, i.e. ribs smothered in a really artificial ...

L'Orange

Had a dreadful meal at L'Orange last week, scallops that were practically raw (I was really ill through the night and am sure these were the culprit!), really tough monkfish, all the sauces were really salty and glutinous, and the service was dreadful(we booked for 8pm and did'nt get out until 11.45...
