We showed up at 6pm when they opened and got one of the few unreserved tables after being scolded for not having a reservation! Our waitress was helpful and friendly and most of the staff spoke English (it is a tourist town). We started with glasses of house wine 3 Euros each and olives and garlic bread. Both were good. I got the grilled sea bass which was very good with lots of veggies. My wife got the grilled squid which she liked a lot. We splurged on dessert only 5 euros - almond tart and a tiramisu - both were tasty. Nice place, good food - make a reservation a few days in advance!

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.

It had such an amazing vibe with it's rustic interior, soft candlelight and this amazing soundtrack of 40s and 50s jazz. I would pay handsomely to buy that soundtrack. Listening to Louis Armstrong, Billy Holiday, etc. while eating, always delicious, food was an experience to look forward to. Sadly the business was sold a few years back and as often happens the owners decided to make changes to an iconic establishment with a loyal clientele. The beautiful music has been replaced with loud disco and rock music and the once great food is not as good as it once was. To their credit they have kept the same menu. A bad meal or two can be forgiven as there can be problems with kitchen staff but the way they destroyed the ambiance, which was the cornerstone of the establishment, can not. I could hardly finish my meal with that music blasting. Back in the day it was difficult to get a reservation but now you can just walk in and get a table. It's easy to see why. Another great business ruined by new owners making "improvements ". Unhappily, I will not be returning.

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.

It was very nice to turn the corner into a nice upscale restaurant where you feel you've left the craziness of the mall.

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.
