Supermercado Corvo made for an interesting experience and one we initially struggled with and any non portugese speakers will likely encounter these issues. Below is a recommended guide: Take a look at the options on display and ensure you know what you are having. Take a ticket from the machine and keep a closr eye on the counter (if they call your number and you miss it they simply move on) Order and pay, you will receive a vibrating disk (similar to harvesters) Once disk activates go up and collect your food.
The food itself is actually surprisingly good and the portion sizes alone make it worth the reasonable prices, the service does leave a bit to be desired though we did manage to get a laugh out of two servers after realising we'd ordered two bottle of wine not two cups (for reference a bottle of vinho verde was only €4.95 hence our initial confusion).
I would recommend trying this restaurant out but not going out of your way though the town of castro marim is beautiful...
