OK.....so you cant wait to get here to Portugal....from England.........and then want to book a table at our English restaurant???????

OK....I can see the logic of that

chicken piri-piri?

Sorry bruce. If u send me your list of places i am allowed to go to on my holidays that would be most welcomed. We visit a wide variety of places each year, one of them happens to be ma-ja's not quite sure why thats an issue. People spend their holidays how, where and when they want. Just the last 48 hours back on here has reminded me why i haven't bothered for 6 months-my dad was pretty much accused of posting a restaurant review because he was an insider and u judge where i choose to go.
No wonder new people don't bother.

stay with it holiday1, it's nice that you can look forward to your holiday from 3 months away; when we started coming in 1983 with Unijet, remember them?, our cabbie (who still works in the town) used to pick us up at Faro, stop at a small AliSuper in Lagoa for milk & bread as the Carvoeiro shops had closed and took us straight to (old) Antonio's,now Lanterna, suitcases & all to get our infusion of flambee prawns, extra bread to dip in the piri piri juice; and the first chilled mouthful of Superbock hit the back of the throat, we'd looked forward to that moment for months; and so should you, hope the time passes quickly for you

On the other side of the coin, on my last visit to London I had a pastel de nata (Portuguese custard tart) in a local Portuguese café and it was one of the best I've ever had! Enjoy your stay here holiday1

I enjoy a pint of the black stuff now and again in CVO

Hi there! Looking forward to seeing you all during your holiday which is now only 98 days away! Your table will be reserved as usual

I will also be in Ma Ja's Sunday 1st June for the Sunday roast, sorry Brucie we just love Ma Ja's roasts...53 days and counting for me but I dare say they've already had Gary and his mate Ulrike up there or they will be soon whilst I am sat here locked in the office

Mark and Jan offer a varied menu and I have yet to be disappointed in any meal there no matter what its 'nationality' is. We often go there to meet friends for a drink and invariably end up having a meal.

A few of the boys and myself where in Ma-Ja’s twice last week, once for Sunday Lunch and once for an evening meal, we all had enjoyable meals on both occasions. I vaguely remember a few bottle’s of decent red wine going down rather well.

I hear my darling hub was wining and dining with Bruce and Julie Wallis at O'Patio last night, see I keep missing out on all the fun coz he makes me stay home and work tut!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Who's got her knickers in a twist???

You are so precious.....you obviously need a holiday.

Ma-Jas isnt an issue....I was just suggesting that it seemed a wee bit strange coming all this way to Portugal, and then heading for the local English restaurant before going to something a little more in character with Portugal.

BUT....each to his/her own.......enjoy your holiday wherever you go

Oh Gaynor, you haven't got your Gary well trained have you? I often go out to Carvoeiro with my sister or friends and leave my OH to work to earn the money to pay for me to go and enjoy myself!!!!!!!!!!!
