Service

Excellent food, after the vegetables last week were too Al dente, we asked for them to be cooked more, they were perfect this week.  A superb meal.

Loved everything about this Tapas and wine bar! Great food, service, wine. Had clams, mushrooms con queso, shrimp, sausage, pork cheeks - all beautifully prepared and presented. Lime pie was huge and delicious.

We decided to have our valentines dinner here - which was our first time dining here. It was a great experience. The food was deliciously prepared and a very good value. The service was friendly and attentive. It was a bit chilly and they provided blankets. Will go back!

We have been a few times to CEU and the place, food and service never disappoints us ! And all of this for a reasonable price ( around  50/per person)

We just love it here. Consistency is their key word. You just know for sure that you are going to get the best. Our favourite restaurant still.

I originally booked a table for 12 out of town guests.  When the number exceeded 20 at last minute, the staff was so kind and easy to 🙏 please.  As usual, the food was delucious, the service wonderful.  thank you!

One of the best restaurants in the Algarve. Fantastic food , good service and best value for money!I will always comeback.

The food was really good, in particular the fried shrimp, cooked to perfection! we had the thai and indian curry. Service was great too

Superb welcome , lovely staff and warm welcome . I formative about wines and food .Chef cooked lively food and atmosphere was lovely . Thanks all

One of our favourite restaurants which never disappoints for quality of food, excellent service and a outstanding wine list. Depending on the season, you have the choice of indoor or outdoor dining. Lunchtime, it offers prato do dia dishes with a choice of meat or fish dish and a salad in summer. In the evenings, there is a more comprehensive choice of menu. Yes, the restaurant is a little bit more expensive than others locally but it&#39;s a cut above the average in all aspects and well worth it. I always reserve a table with the fork because not surprisingly, it gets busy. My one criticism is the parking spaces. Directly outside is OK but left and right of the restaurant, it is bumpy, uneven and difficult to park.

We have been 10 times and it&rsquo;s still one of my favourite places in the Algarve. Great spot. Great food. What&rsquo;s not to like.

We had a beautiful meal in a neat square under the warm evening sky. There was a mix of customers from young children to a few senior citizens but all seamed to enjoy their evening

Very friendly staff and our reserved table was in a prime location, right on the river. The wine menu was interesting and both reds we tried were tasty, if very different to each other! Two of our kids enjoyed the breaded chicken and chips/rice, one rated the black Angus beef burger and the other the grilled sea bass. Grown ups enjoyed the scallops starter, which had an fab foam, and the mackerel samosa, the chicken and shrimp curry was tasty. Three of us had the black angus steak, all ordered to be cooked medium. The colour varied a little but sadly the quality varied a lot. One of the steaks was delicious, not a single chewy mouthful. The other two unfortunately were very tough to eat. The chips, salads and sauces that accompanied the steaks were delicious. A nice touch of pickled red onions making the token salad on the plate something worth eating.

A fabulous seafood restaurant with fresh produce and lovely staff. We had crab, octopus salad, prawns and pork and clams. All were delicious! Fresh and well presented. Casual and friendly and great value for money. Oh, and the sangria was great and a good wine selection. Such a lovely lunch and our guests were impressed!

We were recommended by friends, and we&rsquo;re NOT disappointed by the overall ambience, service, and excellent staff, highly recommended .

Friendly personnel, really tasty sushi, beautiful view from the upper balcony and fresh breeze. It was my birthday, and guys served me a desert with candle. Trifle detail, but so nice of them!

The food was exceptional, the service as good or better than any high end restaurant, and the view of the beach lovely.We will certainly return!

A lovely restaurant with a buzzing atmosphere and a diverse menu. The service is friendly, and the food is well worth the price. A great spot to enjoy a meal with friends.

The restaurant offers high-quality meals at reasonable prices, with attentive service that enhances the overall experience. A must-visit for anyone in the area!

We tried this place about 3 years ago and were not impressed but the change has been phenomenal. Thoroughly enjoyed the food last night. The Tom Yum soup was extremely tasty and the satay starter was more than enough for two people. Two main dish curries were also very tasty. Definitely will return.

Fab visit as usual . Good food , great value . Rui and his staff make it a fun filled evening . Rui plays guitar so we all had a great sing song Worth a visit

A creative chef and menu, beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. Service excellent with well informed staff who know the menu and are friendly, helpful and attentive. This is a top class restaurant.

Before we went I requested a good view for the sunset. The staff set up our own table on the outside terrace which is usually reserved for drinks only. After the sun went down and it got cold they allowed us to move inside without question. Server was really good, friendly and made good suggestions for food and wine for us.

Our first visit to Borges restaurant in spite of many years staying nearby. We found a warm welcome , excellent food and service . A very enjoyable evening . Highly recommended

This place is truly what is meant by a hidden gem. The care and attention to detail is spectacular. They use the best quality ingredients and it shows. They are proud of what they serve and rightly so. We went 2 nights in a row when we found it. Would have been 3 had we not been leaving. So much choice on menu so would find it hard to make a recommendation, you can&rsquo;t go wrong whatever you choose. Oh and have to say from the young man serving to the effusive front of house, service is natural and welcoming. Thank you for having us.

Quiet Friday evening in Faro old town. Friendly service, The seafood rice dish is very good.A bit overpriced compared to other restaurants in Faro serving the same dishes.

The terrace offers stunning sea views, and the apple Tatin dessert is a must-try &ndash; it&#39;s served warm with ice cream and is simply delightful.

Great service, we arriveren with 1 person in a Wheel chair , the waiters liftend the chair so we had a nice spot in the restaurant

Service was a little slow to begin as it seemed she was alone but when there were two it was excellent and friendly. Decor and location were great.

Visited with friends on the last night of our holiday, so a bit of pressure on me, but did not disappoint. We had a lovely window table, water offered as we sat down, and service at all stages was excellent. A nice level of knowledgable advice and chat from all staff who served us. I chose tagliatelle  dish which I had had before, one friend chose the same the other had fillet steak. All were delicious, washed down with a glass each of house wine, which we were informed was from Tavira, even the location of the vineyard! Then two of us shared a very chocolatey dessert. The bill was pleasingly modest for the quality of the food and service. Highly recommended for a slightly special occasion.
