Me and my friend have just arrived to Albufeira and we came across this restaurant with an amazing view. We ordered the food, which was decent, and then we decided to get the desserts. I ordered a chocolate fondant, and my friend got a crème brûlée. My dessert was a bit stiff but I didn’t mind it, however the sugar on top of the crème brûlée was hard and just sank to the bottom without cracking. The dessert itself was freezing cold, even though the pot was warm. We had the impression that it was microwaved and just not up to standard in general. My friend had complained about it to the waiter politely, and unfortunately the waiter did not apologise for the frustration with the dessert nor did he communicate anything further. When we have asked for the bill, the waiter was just not talking to us at all and rolling his eyes. I came up to a different server after covering the bill to explain that we would appreciate it if the server wasn’t so rude to us and simply try to resolve the situation. The server said that they made the dessert up to standard and that’s why they “defend” their point in such way, which is, in our opinion, quite rude. Me and my friend were trying to resolve the miscommunication in a nicest way possible as it is our first day of our stay here, but the waiters were not as accommodating as we would expect them to be. My friend and I are both working in customer service/hospitality, so we were taken back that our first restaurant experience here was very poor.

We first came to this restaurant in the 80’s, food and service was amazing and we were regular visitors each year on our family holiday. After Jean Paul sold the restaurant we didn’t return until last year. Food and service was excellent so we thought we’d return again this year. We pre booked and even though we were the first entry in their book we were told we couldn’t reserve the table in the corner overlooking the sea. When we arrived the table we were given lacked atmosphere and although some in our party enjoyed their food mine was no where near the quality I expected. Sadly we all agreed we will look elsewhere next year. The photo on the left was taken in 1998 the good days of Jean Paul, the one on the right last year. The baby in the photo on the left is sitting in the same spot on the next photo with his girlfriend

We had an amazing experience. From the main door, greeted by Katia and then served by J.P. everything was wow. Also, the view is amazing also!! So, do stop here!
