Yummy Brazilian Rodizio restaurant in the middle of the Forum Shops Algarve…read more A great deal for 13.90 for lunch or 14.90 for dinner and children are only 7 euros. Unlimited meat. 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.

Avoid going here after 15:00 until around 18:00 because the selection isn't great at that time. Lunch and dinner, definitely go! Indoor and outdoor seating available. Cost is reasonable.

When visiting Luz for a family wedding recently, there was the difficult decision as to where to…read morehave the second hen do - anyone who has read my reviews will know that our first, which took place at Bundell Street in Liverpool and was an absolute hoot! - was going to take some beating. Luckily, some friends and family are permanent residents in Luz so helped the bride organise the event. As a group of circa 25 women, it was going to be a difficult decision whatever; many of the places in Luz are quite small and wouldn't want to cut off their evening's custom 100%, so Picanha's appeared to be a great option. For €25 ahead we signed up for the serve yourself buffet in the centre of the room, the Brazilian meat on skewers circulating the room, unlimited red or white sangria (beer or wine were also an option but they weren't very forthcoming with these options), and live music throughout the evening. Service was very friendly throughout and understanding of people's meat preferences - well done or rare etc. - and communicated well with the party, both in English and Portuguese. They even organised a shuttle transfer for us as it's really located outside of Luz. The buffet didn't stand out as anything special and was unlabeled, proving difficult for anyone with allergies or dietary requirements. I filled up with plenty of salad, some bread, a potato & onion dish, some beef stew (which was delicious) and chicken. There was something that appeared to be pizza but actually had banana on it. An unusual flavour to say the least! The meat coming round was by far the highlight of the evening and I am becoming quite fond of this style of eating. We had everything from spicy sausage to wild boar, the latter being the best thing of the evening. Half a garlic steak also went down very well! The music during the meal is hard to judge. It was slow and a bit too mellow for the atmosphere we would have liked, but the guy had a great voice and could seriously play the guitar, and I understand the need to find a balance for us and the rest of the diners. When we had finished and people started to get onto the dance floor, he did manage to pick up the pace and entertain us for an hour or so! Great value for the amount we managed to get through, both in terms of food and the sangria, but the location is quite off-putting as it adds an extra journey element to the evening and I think the space could do with a bit more 'oopmh' to reflect the theme.

I think this place has the best pizzas I ever tasted in my life. They have the thinnest dough I…read moreever saw in a pizza (it makes Pizza Hut pizzas look like a birthday cake) and it's covered with ingredients so tasty that it's hard to believe they are the same ingredients I try in pizzas from other places. I went there twice in a week... and I don't usually go to the same restaurants when there are so many to choose from and try. So, if you enjoy thin pizzas and 80's music, this is the place to go in Quarteira, Algarve.

As long as you're in or within the city centre of Lagos, it's hard to find restaurants that don't seem to exclusively cater to tourists with inflated tourist prices. Asinhas is located just outside downtown and on a main road towards Dona Ana Beach. Although the place was always packed with locals, they had an English menu. The prices were some of the best I encountered in Lagos. I can't remember the exact names of the dishes, but here goes. I had the traditional ALENTAEJANA (Portuguese bread soup) with cilantro and olive oil. It was healthy serving that was almost a meal unto itself. I liked that the broth wasn't too salty. I also ordered their BRAZILIAN STEAK AND PINEAPPLE SHISH-KABOB, that was grilled a nice char, and hung vertically on a metal frame and skewer. This was amazingly done, with the steak grilled medium rare and its fat dripping down over the other pieces of steak and pineapple. My DC ordered the FILET OF SOLE, which was tenderly baked and served with a creamy sauce/gravy. This was also really tasty, and a nice change from usual bacalhau (cod) dishes. I'd definitely recommend this place if you're ever in town.
