Escondidinho's will easily seat that many.

Restaurant Lamim is on the Rua da Misericordia which is past the post office (the right hand side), across a cross road, and up the hill. There is the Igreja Da Miserecordia (church)on the right hand side and the restaurant is down a side street on the right immediately afterwards. There used to be ...

We've not been able to get to CVO this year but has anyone heard or seen anything from Jao. He was a great host at Escondidinho and Ponto de Encontro was good so it would be a shame if he hadn't set up anywhere else.

We've not been around Lagoa too much but have eaten many times at a great place called Restaurant Lamim. We have not been for about 18 months but it is owned by Paul and his sister and the food has always been excellent. Many years ago the cooking was done by Pauls mother (possible Grandmother - can...

We staying at ADM and the rain is hitting the balcony window horizontally! The tide is as high as we have seen it in 10 years. Rain and wind very bad but would still rather be here. Hoping weather taking up soon.

Saw an amazing 5 masted ship come past this morning heading for portimao. Went to see it later after it had tied up and it was the Royal Clipper which has to be the ultimate in luxury. Anyway, we headed back through Ferragudo and found large areas flooded and the sea only several inches below the ha...

I can back up pickwick's recommendation. Kevin at algarvillas.net is very good and we have used him for the last few years for a number of different villas. He has plenty of choice and the standard is definitely a cut above many others.

There is a restaurant topic on ADM dining which is about Ponto De Encontro. We went for dinner a few times in March and found it very good. We were staying on ADM and when we went past on a lunchtime it was packed with the local workmen which is usually a good sign.

We stayed at ADM in March this year and went to Ponto Do Encontro several times. It has changed hands since last year and is now run by Jao who used to be at Casa de Pasto Escondidinho (Denis's, or the Ritz as many know it) at Quinta Paraiso. The food was excellent with plenty of choice and the serv...

I have to agree, O'Algar is our favourite restaurant and we love sitting out on the terrace soaking up the view and the vinho! The food has always been consistently excellent and Carlos and his sons are always friendly and still remember us even if we have been away for 12 months (although we have b...

Sorry, I should have mentioned that O'Algar has plenty of non fish choices. The mixed kebab which is served on a skewer hanging above the plate is very good.

If you want a great sea view from an outside terrace try O'Algar in Benagil. We have been going there for years and never tire of the view. The food is good with plenty of fresh fish choices and the prices are reasonable. We particularly like lunchtime when you can have the full menu choice or just ...

we also had a ride past yesterday and have to agree that it looks at least a couple of months away from completion. It is going to take a long time to sort out the road system with the massive potholes!

Many thanks for all the responses. Escondidinhos opens tonight so my parents are very happy and are going to get there nice and early to get a good seat! Just to answer the "budget" restaurant comments, my parents other favourite place is O'Algar in Benagil which is probably at the other end of the ...
