Ended up here after with all our luggage after our flight landed and we couldn’t get into our airbnb for a few hours and our waiter was lovely. He put us at ease after a very stressful journey and bantered with us in English, so thank you to him. I ordered an omlette with chips which was very nice, pretty decent portion size. I would definitely recommend if you’re passing by!

We are not from portugal we were on our way back to the apartment and we stopped for dinner here. We got a very nice waiter that made everything for us to be as good as possible. The food was amazing and the vibe was really good. They even send football matches here so it's a perfect place to watch sports. Very good would highly recommend it.

Friendly staff and great place for a beer/coffee and snack. We’ve been to this bar many times over the years we’ve visited Tavira and always great. Toasties are huge so go for the small if not famished (still a decent size). Couple of toasties and beers less than €10.
