    fish special
    Angela D.

    Wonderful seafood restaurant in Carvoeiro with a cool ambiance and great views. The staff was great - super attentive and showed us all the seafood they had for the night (which included some huge prawns!) My friend ordered a mojito which was delicious and I got a Somersby which I love. For appetizers we ordered a smoked salmon and octopus carpaccio. The octopus, while pricey, was great. We also ordered the fish special for the day with a risotto which was rich and flavorful. You get to see the chefs cooking in the kitchen which is fun. Overall highly recommend for a nice seafood dinner in Algarve!

    So I stayed at an Airbnb next to Wax while on holiday, and since the hosts had recommended it we…read morehad to try it. Omg it definitely lived up to the hype. Being on holiday one usually wants to try different restaurants without a repeat, but we actually went to Wax more than once because it was so good. The most important part, the food, soooo good. The fried lulas were oh so crispy and fresh. The black pasta was extremely flavorful, and had so much smoked salmon and shrimp. And the shrimp and smoked salmon sandwich was out of this world! Also, they have an ice cream shop by the entrance with several delicious flavors and generous portions. Besides the amazing food, drinks were delicious, and ambiance was fabulous. Upstairs they have several tables right on the beach, what else could you ask for?

    We are staying at an AirBnB directly across the street from Wax. Last night we went there for a…read morelight, late dinner. We had wraps made of shrimp, mango and queso creama (like a light cream cheese) garnished with some dark greens I couldn't identify (but definitely not kale; they were very mild flavored). I had my heart set on pizza that I saw on the menu on-line but they weren't serving pizza last night so I was prepared to be disappointed but the wraps were delicious! We also each had a glass of Portuguese green wine with the meal and a bottle of red wine to "take away." Both were recommended by the waitress and both were very good. The entire bill for 2 wraps, two glasses of wine and a carry out bottle of wine was €50. We were so pleased we're going back for breakfast when it opens this morning.

    Try to sit in the back where you over look the river and bridge. There is ample seating inside,but…read moreseating outside in back is nicer. Food: Vegetables soup - good vegetarian soup Quiche - vegetables quiche with house salad. I liked the fresh corn in it. Calamari with tartar sauce - it was OK but I prefer something less greasy. Fruit smoothie - tropical smoothie All for about 20 euros.

    Tavira Longue is a lovely place which offers something a little different to the many other…read morerestaurants and cafes you will find all over Tavira. It's open throughout the day and well into the wee small hours; hot food is only available during normal restaurant hours but you can get some cold tapas at most other times. If you are drinking or eating in the stylish elegant room, you also get the benefit of free Wi-Fi should you need to get online. After dropping in for a drink a few times during our mini break we decided to have a long, lazy lunch here on our final afternoon in Tavira. We arrived around 1pm to find the little terrace, situated a few buildings down from the Longue itself, fully occupied so we killed some time by visiting the nearby camera obscura. When we returned around 2pm the terrace was almost empty and we got a nice shady table right by the river. I should mention that this is not really a terrace as such, just a few tables and chairs which have been placed on what would appear to be a semi-public piece of ground between the road and the river wall. Having said that it is a lovely spot and sitting here you get perhaps the best views of the Roman bridge and the river Gilao. After a beer and a look at the short but well thought through tapas menu we kicked off by sharing a lovely crostini with fresh local cheese, tomato and avocado. By the time we had finished our crostini time was ticking on and our friendly waiter informed us that if we wanted any hot food we should order now. Well we did, so we cracked on with a plate of calamari. While this was not a patch on the dish we ate at the Brisa, it was pretty tasty but a little greasy. We followed it up with a very nice smoked salmon quiche and some salad. We also had a mixed cheese and meat sharing plate which keep us grazing away through the afternoon. Not too sure what we were drinking other than that is was a white wine I have a feeling it was a bottle of Planalto which would have cost around the 10 euro mark. When it finally came time to pay the bill it was very handy that they accepted credit cards, unlike a lot of other establishments in Tavira, as we were running low on euros and still needed to buy a bottle or two of port for the return to Blighty. All in all a very pleasant way to end our all too brief stay in Tavira.
