Have to say that when we went there the food was fantastic - as I said previously - the service was perhaps a bit slow - but hey - we were on hols. Always ordered better than the house white and was never disappointed - in fact I received several compliments from the wife on my choice - which made f...

Hi,

We would rate the following:-

El and Ela
Maximes
Villa Medici

Lesley Jean,

I take your comments on board and we will agree to dis-agree and perhaps we will re-try this place at the end of September. You have fought hard for this restaurant, so perhaps we will give it another chance!

Yours sincerely,

Dan&Mary

Hi Lesley Jean, We will agree to differ. I have also been in the service trade - for a while - and we endeavoured to keep the same formula night after night. It actually worked and we had NO complaints <and it wasn't McDonalds either>. The problem with Casa O Bife was that (a) The steak was cut wron...

I KNOW that this is not the proper forum but I am still learning - Can anyone tell me what this bar is really like? I felt that the barman Onne was very interested in my wife rather than my order!

I have to agree with Tricky - our 15 yr old and friend tried this restaurant and as bon viveurs, they rated it a no-go.

Lesley Jean, I disagree with your comment that I should alert the staff that the meal was not up to scratch. I visited Maximes, I think 3 or 4 nights and each night the quality, presentation and service was excellent. I visited El and Ela on one occasion and the food and service were impressive. I v...

Hi Leslie, Thank you for your comments but I must disagree. This is a tourist location which depends on a certain standard. It is unacceptable that on the night I wish to visit this restaurant that perhaps the chef is off and the cleaner is cooking! That in my mind is wrong and should not happen. Th...

We visited Casa Algarvia ONCE and once only. I received some gloop which could be only considered as baby food - not what I ordered which was sole in a lobster sauce!!! My wife ordered salmon, which came as a tail end and was bland. Not recommended!

Sorry for bringing this up here but can anyone help???

Visited Chef Antonio's once whilst in Carvoeiro - distinctly 2 star - but we didn't try the Portuguese dishes which looked fantastic. Overall though, we prefer quality over quantity.

We ate here 5 times during the course of two weeks and would have been totally selfish but for the kids. Excellant restaurant, excellant service, excellant host. Can't say better except, can't wait for next year.

Can't say we enjoyed Casa O Bife - tried the stone steak for the first and LAST time - steak cut wrong - stone not hot enough - broiled beef anyone?? - It was dire!!!

D&M

Have to say that we were most impressed with Ele and Ella and will be back - Great food, good service, what more can we say.

Just back from Carvoeiro - tried Villa Medici on three occasions and on each occasion, the food was perfect - large cutlets of salmon - sufficent veg. etc. The service perhaps was not up to scratch on occasions but we would have to rate this restaurant very highly.
