Omlette was feta and mushroom. I asked for mushroom with no feta. I got a spinach omlette with h no mushrooms. We ordered peach/ rhubarb crisp. And got peach with four berries on it. We asked about he rhubarb waiter said it was in the dessert. It was not. When I said no mushrooms were in the omlette. Got no response. Please tell me I am getting something I did not order.

The staff at this little bistro is always so welcoming and attentive. The food is delicious and reliably consistent. The drinks are top notch. We went on a Wednesday and enjoyed the live music. Lots of people having a nightcap at the bar at 10pm.

My wife had the duck which was very tough. Not worth ordering. The singer and guitar player were much to load for the size of the room. Almost impossible to have any sort of conversation with 3 other people at the table.

Overall it was a positive experience. We were stuck in a corner right at the shoulders of the next table and the doorway to the kitchen. It took a long time for someone to take our drink order and then the server came and stood several steps away seeming to be focusing on two ladies at a different table. We had to ask if he was our server and only then did he take our drink order. When we were ready to order, we had to get his attention again. He came and took our order but never informed us of the specials. We happened to hear him telling the specials to the ladies he once again seemed focused on. We asked him to tell us what they were and fortunately we were happy with our original order. This seemed to be the pattern for the night, having to get our servers attention when we wanted another drink. It was our anniversary and we have done one other anniversary with your restaurant and were very happy with the service and the food. We did get lovely attention from the manager, the chef and the other server. As for the gentleman handling our table, we felt unnoticed, shoved into the corner and generally ignored. The food and drinks were, as always, excellent. We will write this off as an extremely busy Saturday night and a server who seemed a little overwhelmed by some large groups.

Our table of four ordered the magret/duck duo and the cassoulet; both were well-received as being properly prepared, tasty and, for the duck, GONE. And, because of the substantial portions given in the cassoulet, was enough to take home for dinner another night (ask for an extra service plate, as the casserole bowl was hard to maneuver bite-sized portions out of). Klee pinot noir was a good choice to accompany both entrees. A bonus surprise was the excellent chanteuse and guitar duo, who took requests. Don't skip the soufflé for dessert-- yummy!

We had a lovely time at Hemingway's Bistro. We sat outside on a beautiful day. Service was good given we were the only table outside this day. Would have like a seconds on all my beverages though. Food was good, the whitefish was excellent the burger and dessert were good but would not order again The drinks were fantastic. I had a French gimlet that I would have happily had a second one of if I had been asked. Their wine list is small, but good.

Seating promptly. Waitstaff came very quickly. Explained the specials answered our questions. Slight delay in main entree but other items came quickly. The wait was worth it, meal was fresh, was delicious. Will definetly return to try the other menue items. Very nice atmosphere, relaxing, vintage settings.

The room is one of my favorites as far as restaurants go anywhere. The food was delicious and our Server gave us just the right amount of attention. The whitefish was absolutely delicious! If I could make only change, it would be to the cheese plate. The cheeses we chose were absolutely delicious, but we both felt that walnuts, apples, and grapes. Did this item absolutely no favors. Would've been happier with a little bit of honey or a jam. Still all in all, it's five stars for me!

A lovely spot for a nice lunch and a walk through the nearby park. I had quische (spinach and goat cheese). It had a nice crispy crust. My friend had their creamy red pepper and potato soup. We both got Arnold Palmers and they nailed the ratios. ? Our server was terrific. Attentive and pleasant. The ambiance is a bit upscale, intimate and warm.

Beer and tapas tavern, sport bar. Super reasonable prices, small beer 2 euros, good service. Thank you
Top notch place to have a drink and chat, watch the world go by. Been visiting Hemmingways bar for a few years Sandro & staff always make you feel welcome and remembers you year after year.
Staff with no experience... they take a long time to bring a simple drink (imperial) and they don't even know what a tango is (beer with currants??

Went here a few times during a recent trip to Carvoeiro. Its a nice bar, Nice bar on one of Carvoeiro's busier streets. Good atmosphere, and decent enough prices, although it's more expensive now than it was last year. Although yhere is seating inside, everyone prefers to site outside to soak up the local atmosphere. Great service, with drinks dropped directly to your table. Very generous glasses of wine, especially when compared to some of the nearby local restaurants. No food served after 6pm, but I only went for a few drinks, so that wasn't an issue. Definitely worth a visit.

Nice serene atmosphere, reminds me of restaurants in France. Service always good. Enjoyed a wonderful meal with crab cakes and chicken liver pate appetizers and lobster. Also love those violet martinis.
