6.5/10service was terrible,the small older guy lacked enthusiasm and manners and was quite rude when asked anything,almost like he couldn't be bothered with being there.

9/10Very friendly staff and our reserved table was in a prime location, right on the river. The wine menu was interesting and both reds we tried were tasty, if very different to each other! Two of our kids enjoyed the breaded chicken and chips/rice, one rated the black Angus beef burger and the other the grilled sea bass. Grown ups enjoyed the scallops starter, which had an fab foam, and the mackerel samosa, the chicken and shrimp curry was tasty. Three of us had the black angus steak, all ordered to be cooked medium. The colour varied a little but sadly the quality varied a lot. One of the steaks was delicious, not a single chewy mouthful. The other two unfortunately were very tough to eat. The chips, salads and sauces that accompanied the steaks were delicious. A nice touch of pickled red onions making the token salad on the plate something worth eating.

10/10We were delighted with the food - we both had salads - and the service. The location by the river is brilliant - we'll be back!

10/10I have eaten at this restaurant several times. I like it because the menu selection is varied and not all typical Portuguese. The location is right on the river side in central Tavira next to the old Meecado building and close to the gardens and night market also add to the appeal of this restaurant. The service is very good and the staff lead by André are motivated and clearly enjoy their work.

8.5/10There were three of us and we ate outside with the beautiful views over the river Gilao. The food was very good and the service was exceptional. We had steaks and a sea bass which were all very good. I booked via The Fork for the 30% discount, however the discount wasn’t applied to the final bill. I have eaten here many times and generally have to remind the staff to apply the discount!! Overall a very good restaurant in an awesome location.

10/10Second time visiting and the food was as good as the first! The fish is very fresh and we loved how they served it in a different way to other restaurants. Recommend the Tempura octopus and tuna to start.

10/10So glad I listened to the other reviews! The food was amazing and worth so much more than we paid. Also do not miss out on dessert, they are to die for and I have not had anything like these before. If you want modern Portuguese food this is the place, the fish was so fresh it just melted in my mouth
