    Tucked away off of restaurant row and a couple of blocks behind the police station on the west end…read moreof the strip, you will find A Toska. There is not a lot of room inside, but they have loads of tables on the square in front of the restaurant when the weather permits, which, in Olhão, is almost anytime ... HOOAH! Pretty good burgers by Portuguese standards, I had the Bacon Cheeseburger (€9), coming on a fresh sesame seed bun with lettuce, red onion, cheddar cheese and bacon with a small side of steak fries. The prices are fair, the burgers good, and the service friendly ... a definite TravelValue in my book ... WTFO! CombatCritic Gives A Taska 7 Bombs Out Of 10 ... More Bombs Are Better!

    The food was pretty good. My husband said his burger was the perfect cross between a Big Mac and a…read moreWhopper. I had the tuna, and I did enjoy the sauce that was on it. It was supposed to come with a fried onion, according to the server, but it did not. I didn't miss it. The sandwiches all came with fries that needed to be salted and crispier. This menu is simple, but adequate. The service was slow and probably the least friendly we had in all of Portugal. There did not seem to be a wine list. The server brought me two bottles to choose from before asking if I wanted by the bottle or glass. They didn't have what I wanted by the glass, and he was less than helpful in offering something by the glass. He should have offered to let me try them, but he was very uninitiated. Be warned that while the interior and menu are modern, this is a CASH ONLY restaurant. It also took nearly 20 minutes to get the check after we were told they did not not take cards. At this point, we just wanted to get out of there. It really wasn't worth wasting our time when we had such a short time in the Algarve.

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.

    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.
