Caniço - Portimão

Stunning location, friendly, attentive service, fresh fish, however standard of cooking was poor, fish not seasoned or grilled well, tasted steamed rather than grilled although done on the barbecue in front of guests. Side order of garlic rice was not edible as still hard not even al dente), was taken off the bill, however the bill was still enormous at €115 for two people, the fish accounting for €84!!!

What a different a few years and a lot of greed makes... My husband and I loved this restaurant, so much so we wanted to get married there however when we visited in September this year with our family it could not of disappointed more. On a busy friday night, they took more covers then they could manage, with only one english speaking waiter. 5 of our meals did not arrive or arrived incomplete. The food was average at best. The bill came in Portuguese and when I asked the team to read through it to ensure we were not paying for the meals that didn't arrive, they refused. It's a beautiful location and worth visiting for a drink but a terrible shame to see this beautiful spot living off old Michelin stars!

Terrible experience from start to finish, the only positive point being the view which is stunning! We booked the meal to work around our 7 month old baby’s nap time, when we arrived we were informed you cannot bring your buggy to the table, this resulted in us having to hold our crying daughter whilst trying to eat our food. The food wasn’t great, my mother had the sole which was full of bones. She received 3 small pieces of fish which cost €32, our wine that we ordered never arrived. The steak was chewy and over cooked. At one point we asked to move table only to be informed that all the tables were booked which was fair enough, only to discover that ten mins later, the Portuguese family sat next to us asked to be moved and it wasn’t a problem, they were relocated to a different table with no questions asked. I will not hesitate in the slightest to tell people to avoid this overpriced establishment! The view wasn’t worth almost €200 at the end of the day!

Brutal este restaurante! Hermosas vistas y tratamiento superior. Mejor que en brazos. Nos comimos un exquisito cataplano. Gracias.

I love dinner at this place. Fresh fish, good meat and amazing desserts. The service was great, Dario was the best waitress we ever had.
