Hollands Eetcafe Ed&Cis — Restaurant in Albufeira

Well, an uncomfortable experience to say the least. We booked and arrived at 6.30 pm. Ed ask us on arrival twice if we booked (what is the point to book if nobody knows about it!). Because he was busy behind the bar he pointed with his finger at a table and told us that was our table (a bit off handed, don't you think. Not a very nice welcome!). The Restaurant part only caters for about 12 eaters of which 10 were already occupied. The waitress came to us telling us that there were not sufficient 'menus' (what!, a first one for me) so we had to wait a while. We ordered gin and tonics and eventually ordered. It took at least one hour before we got served at 7.45 pm (get help, please!). We got an extra salad, which we didn't ordered (no dressing at all on it or any facilities to be use at the table). The food was nicely cooked but my fillet steak looked very lonely with no vegetables on the big plate. My partner complained that her stew pot was too salty. Nobody asked us if we wanted wine and when we asked for half a bottle of red we were informed that they only had full bottles (Hick, hick!). The place was too noisy with an inappropriate type of music for a restaurant with 2 large TV's (in that small space?) showing football at full volume. I mentioned it to Ed, but he told me there was no music or noise (in other words, customer be quiet!). At the point of getting the dishes off the table my partner suggested ''entremesa'' (desert) and was told by the waitress: "let me take the dishes first, don't you think" (very disrespectful and rude). She was too familiar and treated us as if we were children. I looked at the bill (64,20 euros!) and noticed that every item was charged separately like Gin 3,50, tonic 1,50 etc, etc. So my steak was priced at 21 euros but at the end cost over 25 euros. These people need to get their act together in...

We've eaten here several times over the years, and tonight's visit didn't disappoint. We were 2 couples who enjoyed a 3 course superb meal, consisting of lovely Tomato soup or mushrooms on toast for starters then chicken cordon bleu, mushroom schnitzel or beef stew, followed by scrumptious Dutch apple pie. The service was cordial and our hosts made us very welcome. We'll...

We dined here in May with our daughter. Had a great meal and took the owners advice of ordering the schnitzel which came with a big portion of chips and salad. Our daughter had the kids chicken nuggets and was happy. A table next to ours was very loud but the owners offered to move us inside. We didn't mind as they were just having a good time. Quirky decor which adds...
