António Tá Certo - Almancil — Restaurant in Loulé

We were so excited to arrive for lunch today and were seated promptly. A waitress called Dina attended to us and we were immediately surprised by her disrespectful attitude. She was rude, unpleasant, unhelpful and condescending. We called her back to change one of the orders at which point she walked away flailing her arms and shouting something in Portuguese which was embarrassing for us and the rest of the staff who she was trying to amuse by this behaviour. We ordered our food - clams, sardines, peri-peri chicken. The chicken was absolutely dreadful and tasted of fish. It seems to have been been boiled and then grilled. I ate very little of it. We asked another waitress if there was any way we could have a little more shade and were told absolutely without any concern, “no”! Meanwhile, the restaurant was only a third full! We own a property here in Vale do Lobo and we will never return there and we shall tell others of our experience. Imagine our utter SHOCK at discovering that DINA (the rude waitress) is the owner! What a pity to have that sort of attitude and take money from unsuspecting customers when you have such a wonderful situation, right on the beach! For outstanding Portuguese and other cuisine we would recommend Senor Frango, 2 Passos, O’Ribeiro, A’Sardinia, Casavostra etc. This was my third and last visit to this awful place - the ONLY restaurant where the staff have been less than friendly, helpful and fantastic. I gave Antonio ta Certa three chances and they took our money three times. Never once was the food...

This place was incredible. They have a huge outdoor patio and then they also have a side patio with adorable pillows on the floor. Every where you sit you can see the ocean. They do have limited vegetarian dishes but the salad was amazing. It came with berries and chickpeas and seeds and all sorts of delicious things. They also have melon. And french fries. I went with a group of people and the table that we sat at was round and it was also in the corner. So I could see everyone and also see the ocean. The wait staff was really friendly. Overall the vibes were great.

The restaurant is located next to a group of about five other restaurants. They all share a big dirt parking lot. We had to drive around a little bit to find parking but eventually did get it. I went during lunchtime during the week at the end of summer. We had a reservation booked and they seated us immediately. We had to flag down the waiter at the end to give us our check but in general the service was prompt and I would highly...

I had arranged to meet at the place for lunch with a friend. when I entered the restaurant they still hadn't arrived and as the cell phone network signal is very weak in the place and I detected a Meo network I asked the employee delicately who promptly said we don't have Wi-Fi. An arrogant lady appeared, perhaps because she had realized that I am Portuguese, and she asked me nervously, what do you want. I replied, for now I want to connect to the Wi-Fi network as I don't have a network on my mobile phone. She brusquely replied, you've already been told that we don't have Wi-Fi, here people talk to each other, they're not holding onto their cell phones, if you don't like it, put it on the edge of the plate, the front door is the main use of the house. I was perplexed by such arrogance and even considered asking for the complaints book. anyway, I chose to write here this review that will have...
