It is so much fun to have a hot stone placed in front of you and you get to sear your steak to perfection. I ordered a fillet and the cut of meat was just beautiful. For €22 the ability to cook table side and have a hot bite ready to melt in your mouth on demand is fun and yummy This delicious chunk of meat came with a baked potato and vegetables which I also tossed on the stone after I cooked my steak. The plate came with some dipping sauces and garlic butter. I asked for more garlic butter and cooked everything in it. It was so delicious and the wine list gives you many paring options, but being in Portugal even the house wine is amazing. This area albufera is not for the faint of heart. This is a crazy party zone so go early in the evening if you want some easy people watching and later in the evening if you want to see some really crazy antics. Service is fast and the waiters are attentive.

I have seldom had more fun eating than at Fernandos Stone Steak house, in Carvoeiro, Portugal…read more Maybe it was the fact I was on holiday - maybe it was the company - maybe it was the freely flowing Portugese beer - but I didn't think that going to a restaurant and then essentially preparing and cooking your own dinner was going to be a barrel of laughs. But it was. It works like this: you are presented with a very hot stone slab, and some raw meat of your choice. The meat can also be prepared with various marinations and methods, but the underlying theme is that it's ready to be cooked. Add a dash of the sauce of your choice, a small amount of garlic butter to the slab (and watch in horror as the table is surrounded by acrid smoke) slice off a little meat, and get cooking. I chose the medley selection, consisting of chicken, pork and steak. All of the meat was fantastic - not an ounce of fat or gristle to be seen. The steak was wonderful - the very fact you could control each tender mouthful - one rare, the next well done, and then apply the sauce of your choice. There were 10 of us at the restaurant - and the waiters were open and friendly. For a while we tried to work out if the owner was German, but then, distracted by some fantastic garlic prawns, the topic was dropped. If you are holidaying in the area - it's worth making a trip to Carvoiero and Fernandos. The atmosphere was lovely, and you'll find your meat cooked to perfection.

Definitely didn't think I'd be coming here for my first dinner in Portugal. Steak and Grill…read more Thought it was American food. Then we saw the word Rodizio. Rodizio is basically ayce meat options where servers bring around various cuts of meat on large skewers and then if you want it, they slice you a portion at your table. The most famous Torontonian equivalent is Copacabana. We got there before they opened. They told us 6pm. We loafed around til then. We tried going back. They told us 7pm even though their door said 6. We opted to wait. Worth the wait. The standard rodizio here costs $13.90 euros and includes the basic meat package (12 meats + grilled pineapple) and both their hot and cold buffet. Drinks cost extra, but a small beer or juice will set you back about $1.80 euros, and a litre of their house wine will cost $9 euros. Be warned though. If you order in English, specify what you want, because their fresh squeezed orange juice is $3.50 euros a glass. It's tasty, but expensive. Their hot buffet only has like 8 items including rice, beans, fries, some kind of stew, and something that tastes like a mix between salt cod and mashed potatoes and some kind of cream pasta. Their salad bar is not bad, but not fantastic either. I appreciated the pickled veggie assortment though. Helps cut down on the fat from the red meat. OH THE RED MEAT. The menu said 12 kinds and lists them out. We got more than 12 kinds. Chicken drumsticks, chicken with bacon, chicken heart, pork chunk, roast pork, pork with cheese, sausage, rump steak, steak with garlic, tenderloin, beef with bacon and cheese, some other kind of steak I can't identify, ham, rump steak roast, etc. SO MUCH MEAT. Most of it was pretty tasty, albeit a tad salty. Surprisingly, the chicken dishes stand out as being juicy and piping hot and tender. Also the beef with bacon and cheese, and the tenderloin. THEN GRILLED PINEAPPLE. With cinnamon. So good. So sweet. Amazing with the meat, especially with the beef, bacon, and cheese. I think my dad ate a whole pineapple on his own. The servers were fantastic about it though. Very lovely service. Side note that isn't rodizio: They have a la carte seafood and meat options. Mom and aunt got seabream for $12.90 euros ish. Whole seabream. Nothing else. Delicious. Slightly salty. The rest of us got rodizio and they let mom and aunt have some of our food. As in we asked and they said yes. Pineapple goes well with fish too. If I lived in Portugal, I could see myself coming back fairly often. Best ayce experience I've had in a very long time.

Don't fill up on the salads as there is pleanty of meat. When we went, the food court in the mall was loud and full of people. It was very nice to turn the corner into a nice upscale restaurant where you feel you've left the craziness of the mall. The wait staff was friendly and they have a full bar, check out the menu photos and there are a few pages of drinks. There is a small television in the corner if you must see that game while you're eating. Internet is free and has a good signal. There are plenty of made to order options if you don't like the rodizio but I highly recommend it as skewers of meat magically appears on your table until you turn your card from green to red.
