As expected one of the big items is the Jamon Serrano which you cannot miss!! They also have great wine by the glass or bottle. If you're looking for overall warm tapas, this is not the place as they don't have a kitchen. Only the cold cuts and other cold food items that they have in store but they are very good. Salud y buen provecho!!!

This place was GREAT. They have everything. Loved the beer and wine selection and the cold food…read more Great cheeses. Lots of candies and cookies- and everything else you'd need. This really is a supermarket- and it's handy to the little beach houses behind it. We were staying in those and we needed food. Plenty of delicious food here! Good prices, too.

Shortly before Albufeira we stopped here to stock up on some groceries, beer and wine. It's a…read morereally lovely shop. Nice, local products for really good prices. A lot cheaper than in nearby Spain, where we just came from. Quality was good and so was the Portuguese Wine. There's also a small coffee shop attached to the grocery store with a bunch of tables outside. Good to grab a Coke or some coffee. And that's where I waited with our dog (she was welcome to be outside at the tables with us). A fine option to do your shopping.

Perfect spot in Faro, which became one of my HQ during my stay…read more Fresh and hot drinks, smoothies, ice creams, salads, tasty toasts and crepes, cakes... Everything is very affordable and tasty. Vegetarian options available too. The place is luminous, welcoming and cute, with jazzy music and swings (I know!). The service is quite slow, but it's worth it. I recommend the toasts with portuguese and loaf breads, the Hulk Smoothie, the Lemon-based drink and above all, the "melhor bolo de chocolate do mundo", an incredible chocolate cake. Definitely a must !

Of all the restaurants we went to in Cabanas de Tavira - this is my number one…read more They took in the 6 of us on a Friday at 8pm with no notice. The restaurant was already nicely bustling with customers. Some seemed to be regulars. The decor was homely and cozy. My only issue is that the TV was on - I'm one of those that can't help but stare at a screen, so this was a little off putting. However, the food was GREAT, as was the service. They also do a smashing Irish coffee. House white wine was also a winner for me. Home cooking, great value, service and decor. 100% my Cabanas recommendation
