Cais Wine&tapas - Loulé

Encantador pequeno restaurante numa rua pedonal em Quarteira. chegamos para um almoço tardio e esperamos vários minutos na frente do restaurante antes de finalmente procurar alguém para nos sentar. como alguns comentários indicaram, o serviço pode ser lento, mas eles são calorosos e amigáveis. não recebemos menus, apenas fomos informados sobre as três entradas especiais do dia. teria gostado de mais opções, mas talvez tenha sido devido ao atraso em que chegamos. minha lasanha de atum estava saborosa, e as batatas fritas e o arroz estavam ótimos, mas o marido achou que a vitela estava um pouco mastigável. geral ótimo valor, atmosfera agradável e serviço amigável.

We came to Cais for the first time in July 2020 when we were able to travel from Britain to Portugal for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic. Our regular Quarteira Old Town Hunt had closed, and we went past this, thought it looked pretty sweet... and my God, it's something if not the best food we've ever eaten, and not just in Portugal. We come back several times on each trip. It's a dream. This trip alone, in December, we came 4 times in 3 days... probably almost 20 times in 2 1/2 years. The daily specialties are phenomenal. There is always a meat special and a fish special, and we just order one of each one never ask what they are. They are always as fresh as you can get, beautifully cooked with incredible sauces and sides (their chips are heavenly light, airy, but with a divine crunch/textur and desert contain all for around 9 euros per head. (You should ask for more, really. We pay it! Perfect squid, perfect duckling, perfect Bacalhau, perfect tapas, perfect pork orange, perfect Dorada (Sea-Bream ... perfect everything. The Cais House Burger is absolutely the best burger in Portugal crispy, moist beef, American cheese, egg, bacon, salad and tomatoes on the softest bungalow! I just wanted to think about it. But my God, I have saved the best for the last... you must ORDER IN IT ADVANCE (one day or so, but we have tried a lot of Cataplanas and nothing comes close. HUGE muscles, shrimps, plentiful amounts of both plus shells and pork in the most spectacular broth there is not enough bread in the world to suck it all up. The sweet peppers in the ground are a meal for themselves. Order this and you sleep well for a year. Needless to say, the owner and boss(s are the most beautiful people on the planet. I have a soft spot for their chocolate mousse (all their deserts are handmade and he has made it especially for me, even if they don't have it on the menu. Her wine selection (as the name of the place corresponds, is on site, and when my partner especially loved her house wine, he went to the shops and bought bottles especially for her to take home. You may think that I'm related to these guys in any way, as amazing this review there, but there's nothing of the way big a fan of this restaurant can be like a person and REALLY want to make sure they're still around the next time we come back... Please go. You won't regret it.

My husband and I preordered the cataplama as recommended by our bartender at Via Gale Ampulia. The seafood stew was delicious. We asked for and promptly received spoons to scoop up the delicious fish broth. We enjoyed talking with owners Carla and her husband who was very friendly and shared the local experience with us. Really made our time in the Algarve more authentic.

Carla and Diogo were so kind and inviting , proper portugal welcome we left the marina to get tapas here and it was so worth it chicken wings were amazing all tapas were fabulous but the staff made it they were so extra friendly and welcoming it was a really lovely experience , I have a phobia of cats they tried to keep the cat away at all times it was appreciated , sangeria also very nice defiently would recommend
