The café had a large menu, but a lot was not available. The terrace was nice and you could sit under olive trees. We were with five and ordered drinks (fresh orangejuice that was indeed fresh!) and lunch (baguettes & nachos with cheese). The nachos were really tasty and served with cream, guacemole & salsa sauce and the baguettes were served with salad. When I walked into the restaurant to use the bathroom, i noticed a large cabinet/display with very tasty tarts and chocolatecakes that unfortunately i did not pick. Nom nom nom. read more

Café Ingles - Cafes Near Me - Silves, 08

See all

In the sleepy medieval town of Silves, Cafe Ingles has one of the most lovely and inviting settings you can find: tucked under a tree-covered courtyard, next to the ancient castle. The location looked almost too pretty, too attractive to tourists, that I wasn't sure the food would be anything special. But it was! The menu is best described as "world cuisine". We ordered some red table wine, a super creamy ceasar salad, and a curry & shrimp linguine. Portions were very generous, and the food was predictably heavy (in Portugese fashion), but delicious. We should have saved more room for dessert because they were incredible and HUGE! They have a whole dessert case full of local specialties like almond cake, carob cake, and this decadent rum & chocolate cake with ice cream. I almost died of pleasure/gluttony while eating this thing. Service was super friendly and accommodating. We loved sitting under the twinkle lights, sipping wine, and watching the townspeople stroll and mingle. A sweet location with unique menu and Portugese hospitality. Oh yes, and Jonny the cafe cat. Lots to love! read more

Excellent time. Especially with music on the weekend we enjoyed everything about this place. Very solid fresh pizza, we'd heard about the great fruit pies piesAnd the cake which had a bit of rum looks a bit unique and tastes amazing. The whole patio also might be the best spot in town to eat. read more

We really enjoyed good quality food, great staff, very attentive to us...The outdoor seating area is very cosy and was lit up beautifully.... The indoor was just as inviting.. read more

the best place for food and music I found on the Algarve. A real discovery, brilliant cakes, nice people, good music 2 nights a week and a stunning setting. If you want a change from dried cod and rice and chicken this is the place. Also Silves is a really nice town. The old Moorish capital of Al Gharve has a fab castle sitting on its top. Don't Miss! read more

Re. our visit on 18/05/08 What a disappointment. Looking forward to a meal here as it had been recommended. My friend lives in the Algarve so went along to have a look. Staff were surly, far too busy for their own good, i.e. unable to cope. Waited for meal for 55mins but nothing came, not even an apology and they knew we were there as our order had been taken. Other tables were served before us. We cancelled, paid for our drinks and left. Not a murmer of an apology, just surly and bad tempered. The girl behind the bar and the British person with the long grey pony tail especially so. We love the Algarve and have eaten well, and sometimes not so well, in many places. Some of the best are the cheapest and where the locals go. We will definitely avoid this one in the future and will not recommend it. Hopefully this will appear on the web page but I very much doubt it. read more

First experience of Cafe Inglis was great and couldn't wait to go back. We took some friends the next time and it was EMBARRASING. The food was terrible, the worst meal we had had in a long time. My husbands steak was supposed to be 'rare', but was over cooked and tough. Our Friends duck was dry and tough, so disappointing. As for the dessert. we couldn't believe our eyes when they produced something that looked like a pile of excrement. Unfortunately we wont be going back. I am so disappointed. read more

A fantastic place to meet and eat with good friends and the locals.

Very unfriendly waiters

we loved it here .. we had been wondering around silves for a while trying to find a nice place for lunch. we were not disppointed! the food wasn't all that good but i have to say i had the best ice cream suindae there i have had for a long time .. The service was ok but nothing is done in a hurry so we didn't expect it to be quick. We would stop here again - it was clean. Children are catered for and there is plenty of space. You could just stop for a coffeee or a beer if you didn't want to eat anything. read more

Service and food are hit and miss. Have had some great meals here and some not so great. The service whilst often slow can range from friendly to at the worst I have seen it, hostile. The waiter (if I can call someone so inept and unpleasant waiter) was slow, rude, uninformed and uninformative. Took the order incorrectly and then when bringing out the very staggered order asked Well who is going to have this as if his incompetence was our fault. Followed up by bringing out a meat dish to a vegetarian because he had failed to inform the kitchen he had an order for one of the last portions (a beginner mistake to anyone who works restaurants) then because we didn't order desserts fast enough flounced off and only served desserts to 4 of the 12 people. No coffees offeredall in all the worst service I think I have ever had in my life. Despite living here I tend to avoid the place because of the hit and miss nature of food and service. read more
