Onze was quiet the lunchtime we turned up with just a few diners out on the terrace. In fairness it was a few weeks back, so late March, and the season is just starting. The staff are friendly and nice and let us decide which table we wanted to sit at. The menu reads well. It’s not overly big and it’s mediterranean in style. Plus they have specials of the day. We just wanted a main course so went for the special seafood risotto of the day and grilled salmon served with a salad. We ordered some french fries on the side.

We sat enjoying the view and being outside in the sun. The food wasn’t hurried and when it finally came we were really impressed. It looked good and was fresh. The risotto was really good. Cooked perfectly in fact. Delicately flavoured and balanced, we were very happy. The salmon was also good. A good fillet cooked well. The homemade french fries were delicious.

We didn’t have dessert but grabbed a coffee. The staff throughout were very professional, warm and welcoming.

The bill came in at 50 Euros including service. A tad on the steep side for lunch but a nice meal so worth the cost. Definitely one of the better restaurants in Carvoeiro.
