“This is not the first time I have visited this restaurant, I was there more than ten years ago, and the dining room has not changed anything, nor has the decoration, which I think could be given some changes to adapt it a little to the new times, that is my opinion. very particular, but let's get to how interesting the food is, we ordered some sardines which were delicious, both for their flavor and for how well they were made, they served us with a picadillo, as we say in my country, specifically in Seville, composed of onion, tomato and on top he put some roasted peppers, once they were put with their salt, oil and vinegar, worthy of gods, for the second we ordered a stone-grilled beef tenderloin, which was accompanied with some French fries, I have the tenderloin What to say spectacular, it's been a long time since I've tried meat with a good flavor. I have to return.“

“Niet goedkoop en de obers hebben moeite je te verstaan als je geen Portugees praat. Maar dat is overal in Portugal. Het personeel is erg vriendelijk. Het uitzicht is geweldig, net als het eten. Heerlijke gerechten. Het is echter niet super goedkoop.“

“Another surprising restaurant in the Algarve! We didn’t expect much but were pleasantly impressed. Our waiter was extremely pleasant and we had fun joking with him. The raw oysters were the best we’ve had in Portugal accompanied by a nice inexpensive white wine. Our Portuguese style tuna was a welcome change from the regular seared tuna and much appreciated. Finished off with cheesecake and a local delicacy, a carob, fig and almond tart… superb! One of our best lunches in the Algarve!“

“An excellent choice, we ate fresh fish, unbeatable cod, and the desserts were homemade and very good.
Friendly and kind waiter from the first moment, we went without a reservation and we were 12 people and he treated us very well. 100% recommended and if we return it is a safe visit.“

“Absolutely delicious lunch at this lovely local restaurant. Highly recommend the seafood rice, salada mista and sangria. Lovely sitting outside in the shade - a really pleasant quiet spot.

Vegetarian options: Salads and hot vegetable dishes

Dietary restrictions: Plenty of options for vegetarians and GF“

“Very good genre and good service, the desire for the seafood platter was good but it gave the sensation of being frozen. The rest of the things are fine.
The clams, made like the rest of the Algarve.
We ate 4 well with a seafood platter for two and some clams.
With few views of the sea since it has a parking lot and the port, but there is little traffic so it is comfortable.“

“Given the offer on the island, we were surprised by the quality and especially the speed of the service.
We ordered a seafood platter, the shrimp and the delicious clams. Without having tried the rest of the restaurants in the area, I think we made the right choice.“

“I wasn't very sure, in the area it seems that it is to get money from tourists, but the reviews were good.
And it was true, we ate very well and at a good price. The portions are huge and although they are Pakistani, they nail the Portuguese recipes very well. All very good.
We ordered some oysters, octopus in tempura which was very tender, cod also very good and a very generous portion and what we liked the most is an octopus that they make like golden cod, delicious.
All at a very correct price.“

“Van de vele restaurantjes hier aan de boulevard was hier de bezetting het hoogste. Meestal duid dit op een goede kwaliteit. Na onze maaltijd kan ik beamen dat in ieder geval de gerechten die wij besteld hadden werkelijk van hoge kwaliteit waren (pepersteak & zwaardvis steak). Verder hele goede indruk van personeel en entourage. Echt een aanrader!“

“Great food with the extra touch of brilliant presentation. We tried to get a table but the restaurant was fully booked, so we booked to come back another night. It was definitely worth it, the staff are also very nice. It is a place you must try when visiting.“

“Excellent location as well as the service.
Accompanying our table was Mika (5 stars).
Very tasty light starters - Vegetable tempura and Alheira balls.
Well-paced service and very well prepared food, with distinctive flavors.
We ask:
Exotic prawn curry, (excellent)
Rooster fish fillets (very good)
Breaded octopus (top)
Iberian pork cheeks (very tasty)
Judging by the meal, I would say that we will return to try the other suggestions on the menu.
Finally, we made a reservation and were notified in advance of table availability.
Very professional and attentive management.
I recommend“

“Restaurant next to the central beach of Monte Gordo. Great atmosphere, excellent food at a fair price in season. Great service, excellent location.

Kid-friendliness: The menu has options for children.

Parking: Paid parking, plenty of spaces, in front of the beach and the Cruzeiro Restaurant.“

“O coreto restaurants is my favourite Portuguese restaurants while going to lunch or dinner in tavira very nice location and great foos with friendly staff.highly recommended with various choices for foods my favourite is house style cod fish and rice with selfish“

“Great service and atmosphere: service was fast, staff was extremely nice, etc. However, it lacks vegan options. The waiter told me to choose one of the salads and take out any animal product but the problem was that then I’d only be eating tomato, lettuce and cucumber. I ended up eating soup, fries and boiled veggies. It’s nonetheless a good option if the majority of the group is not vegan as everyone else loved it.

Vegetarian options: The menu doesn’t have any vegan options and the only vegetarian plate is risotto. I got the vegetable soup and ordered fries and veggies (boiled carrot, broccoli and potato). The fries, as always, were to die for, but the rest was just okay.“

“Exceptional place to eat rice with seafood. The coquinas were delicious.
Very good for the quantity, quality and price.
The services ?
Highly recommended place.
We will definitely return to try the cod that we saw on the next table and it looked very good.“

“Very nice beach restaurant, which we visited several times during our vacation. We had the opportunity to taste several dishes on the menu, fresh meat and fish (chosen directly in the window), all well prepared and excellently served by competent and professional staff, always attentive and available. Oh.. and the caipirinha?!... Top. ? We highly recommend it and we will definitely be back.“

“Wonderful restaurant which takes us into a typical atmosphere!
The waitresses are very friendly.

The dishes are delicious and plentiful.

The quality/price ratio is excellent ??

I recommend it 100% ?“

“I can't understand why some of these reviews skew so badly. My wife and I simply wanted some cod cakes and cold beer. Walked all around this town and couldn't find one place that sold these cod cakes. We walked into O Monumental, spoke to this sweet old man, and finally had what we were craving. They're light and fluffy, with the perfect ratio of cod to potato. I like them with more parsley, but that's just me. Overall, I'd be back.“

“Spectacular views over Praia Verde. It's the best thing on the site. For the rest... the food: good, without further ado, generous portions on the plates and the service, everyone very friendly. I was surprised that the water bottle was not opened on the table. In a place like this, I didn't like the detail.
A good detail was that they asked us if we wanted to have the starters that are so typical in Portugal… butter and bread and some prawns that were well cooked and delicious.

Parking: In the middle of August it was difficult for us to park. I imagine that at other times of the year there won't be as much movement.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, it is wheelchair accessible and the toilets are adapted.“

“Right next to the beach, a family restaurant based on the grill. There is no meat, just what the sea offers fresh. In several meals, I tasted sole, cuttlefish, sardines and anchovies, all cooked to perfection. We have always been very well attended and will be back again!“

“Very good restaurant. Excellent cod from the house. Perfect grilled sea bream. Congratulations to the cook. Very good service. Very pleasant staff, smiling and speaking French. I recommend this establishment, very good value for money.“

“Eddy's is een restaurant aan de weg in Monte Gordo. Maar erg gastvrij ontvangst, advies gekregen voor een prima witte wijn. Het eten was eigenlijk goed maar net geen top omdat de kip Piri Piri, wat droog was en de Piri Piri smaak niet helemaal naar Corendon kwam. De espresso was overigens heerlijk zoals het hoort. Ga er gerust eten vij Eddy, daar krijg je echt geen spijt van Gastvrij, lekker eten. Doen hoor!“

“Excellent quality food, 5-star service, the portions are xxl, easily enough for 2 people and the dishes where it is mentioned for 2 people are enough for 3 or even 4, the only less positive aspect is the noise generated, as it is very frequented, it quickly generates a lot of noise.

Parking: It has 1 place to charge the car (low voltage socket)“

“Just discovered this lovely restaurant and had a family dinner here last night. Great varied menu with something for all, we had steak, burger, fish and pasta, all of which was delicious. Staff were so lovely and welcoming, we will definitely be back!“

“Very good place on a tourist street. Although it is on the typical bar street, it is a small place with several tables on the street.
The staff was very friendly and attentive and the food was very delicious. We ordered clams, garlic shrimp (not in the photo), grilled octopus and frango grelado (grilled chicken) for the little one.
A bottle of white wine, a juice and an ice cream and we paid €89
It would just remove the singer from the bar next door, but it was part of the show.
It is worth having dinner here, other tables ordered the cod and seafood cataplana which looked very good.“

“Good sushi and pretty good Thai food. The sushi was fresh and flavorful, but the Thai noodle dish lacked a little pizzazz. The warm fried tuna uramaki was the overall winner, but I do love fried foods!
The setting for this nice small restaurant is lovely, right on the river at the far end of the esplanade where all of the tour boats leave.
And the prices were very reasonable. I would go back. A good experience.

Wheelchair accessibility: It seemed like it was fully accessible. Outdoor patio and restaurant all on the ground level. And the bathrooms may be a little tight, but again, no stairs or barriers.“

“It is a beach bar, but of high quality. It is in Monte Gordo (south Portugal, border with Huelva). And, next to the arena, but it has ample paid parking. Be careful, you have to reserve. You start eating at 12:30 locals. Extensive menu, with everything: starters, fish, rice and meats. Also about wines. I liked everything we ate. And an extraordinary tuna and shrimp pica pau. It is not cheap. But the prices correspond to what they give. A site that I recommend. Enjoy it“

“A stones throw away from the middle of Tavira, this seems to be a favourite of locals for both meals and drinks. I was very impressed by the food choices ( check specials on wall as well as standard menu) and the price of the carafes of wine. Very popular, get there early or be prepared to wait.“

“We came one day to try the razor clam rice, but the owner/expert who makes it was absent and we ended up eating kebabs which were very good. We went back the next day and tried the razor clam rice, it was very good, it was worth returning. It is worth highlighting the availability and friendliness of the employee who served us, Mr. Silva.
Congratulations... it's the food and the people that make the houses and customers come back“

“I'm glad I listened to the reviews. What a great success!
Super recommended. Kindness of service, exquisite food. Super good quantity and unbeatable quality price!!
We chose fish soup (very good), rice with octopus, grilled cod and stewed meat, everything was incredible, very delicious, you can tell that it is traditional and homemade food!“

“The owner is new since a year or so....excellent service with a smile and nice fresh tasty food....very close to the sea....it has been our third time in a short while that have been there....continue like this and we will for sure be back.“

“Everything was very good, we ordered a plate of grilled beef steak and a plate of fried choco, both with good accompaniments.Potato rice salad very well served, good quantity.I recommend it and we will return.The very attentive waiter gives very good service, which is why I give him my highest score since I am very demanding with good service.For a business to work, its staff has to offer the best customer service and they have achieved this.Thank you Rui for your attention.“

“Restaurant located on the banks of the Guadiana River and specializing in fish.
All the food was very delicious, you could tell it was grilled. Acceptable quality/price.
We were lucky that we got a table next to the river ??.
When we went they didn't make a reservation by phone, we had to wait. Better to catch the owner in a good mood haha ​​it's a bit strange.
Conclusion: recommended!“

“Restaurant that does not serve coffee ( a very traditional Portuguese habit) to assure a fast table Turn. That is ok. Is always full só reserve first or arrive early. The food and the seafood is fresh and great . The beer fantastic. The place is not near the beach / sea , só is a bit more affordable than the ones on top of the sea. Is a good restaurant“

“Open all day.
Good quality tapas.

Parking: Paid parking on Avenida da República.
Free parking next to the PSP post in the old customs building.

Wheelchair accessibility: It has an access ramp.“

“What to say! At “Os Arcos” I have tried the best seafood rice I have ever tasted (if you order for 3, know that they serve 8, they serve a regiment) accompanied by two very fresh Sagres. And as the icing on the cake, a good Portuguese coffee with views of the Guadiana. Fantastic service and super nice staff. What more could you ask for?“

“Everything was going well, food, service, etc.... until I went into the bathroom, I forgot my sunglasses and the person who came in behind me just took them......ask the service. waiters in case there was any kindness in this "young lady" and had left her at the bar, but nothing! So my experience was soured because of this detail, otherwise everything was fine!!!“

“Privileged location with good appearance.
In August it is difficult due to the movement and too many people.
The service is always at a loss.
Still, we ate at 4pm with fewer people and we were well treated and the food was of good quality with nothing negative to point out.
I'm sure that in June, July, the end of August or September (in short... outside the high season) it can only be better.“

“First time to Santa Lucia!!! We're attracted right to the restaurant. It helps you parked almost in front.Great service!!! Food was fantastic!!! Had a octopus in puff pastry!!! I didn't expect more seafood that just octopus ?!!! Shrimp and clams and I think scallops maybe. My wife had octopus pasta. We also had breaded octopus as a starter. Every ounce was delicious!!“

“Excellent welcome, the chef's proposal for "grilled tuna belly" was divine, washed down with excellent wine, an experience worth repeating, congratulations

Wheelchair accessibility: Although access from the car park is a bit long, it was clear that it is accessible“

“Wanted a typical Portuguese meal in place more frequented by the locals rather than tourists. This was the place. Terrific food topped off by a nice glass of an Algarve red house wine. Staff were great to meet and offered some nice local places to visit. Loved these guys and their restaurant.“

“For once, I was tricked in the right way! Tourist area, great view, we know that we take the risk of paying a lot for fast food with cheap service...Not at Hel-Bar!! Great welcome from Helder, great service, real cuisine made by experienced Portuguese cooks who will satisfy your demanding taste buds...secretos de porco, bacalhau a casa, tomato soup, red wine from the south of Lisbon, almond tart.. .except for the fries, everything else is homemade and frankly what a pleasure to eat tender meat, cod that comes apart with the back of the spoon...no photos this time, as we weren't hungry, took trapped until the end. We will come back, don't change anything except the fries ;-)“

“(Translated by Google) It no longer exists, the restaurant has a new name and owners. What we ordered was all good. Location is ideal in low season, we can eat in silence and listen to nature.(Original)Já não existe, restaurante tem novo nome e proprietários. O que pedimos estava tudo bom. Local é ideal em época baixa, podemos comer no silêncio e ouvir a natureza.“

“Very good food!!
I highly recommend the black pork tenderloin, the meat is very well cooked and seasoned.
Very good dessert, the Isabel Cup. The carob pie had good flavor but was poorly served in terms of quantity.
It could have come with a larger serving of fries, but nothing serious.
In short: In terms of 5-star quality, in terms of quantity for the amount you pay, it is a 3.“

“Excellent welcome. We sat down for a drink. I ordered a glass of lemon juice. However, it was sweetened lemon juice, I had not requested it when ordering. I called back the waiter who perfectly understood the misunderstanding and changed the glass for me.Customer service is there ?. I recommend.“

“What a pleasant surprise this restaurant.
Delicious food, very good, very well prepared.
Super pleasant staff, friendly and very professional.
Very pleasant terrace
Delicious desserts
Good wine list
I loved everything.“

“Fish of the day was Bream and they did a good job grilling it. The serving was large and included boiled potatoes and a few boiled vegetables -- typical for this part of Portugal. We also had a salad which was nicely dressed in-house. The owners are eager to please customers. We were at the same place a few years ago and were initially disappointed that it chan ged hands; but the new owners look like they will be successful.“

“After trying this family-run restaurant and being very happy with everything we ordered, we have returned to Gaivota several times. We are never disappointed. The grilled fish (golden bream, see bass and so on) is always perfectly cooked. My husband had fried squid recently and thought it was fabulous. He also praised the mixed grill. The desserts are excellent! The waitress is friendly and attentive and has a great sense of humour. Just a note: If you want to have a cataplana, you have to order it the day before. Ours was delicious!“

“Today we went for lunch and... it was super delicious. Fresh fish and very well baked. The desserts were divine and the service was very good.
I recommend everyone who comes to Monte Gordo to stop by here for a pleasant and affordable lunch.“
