La Oliva - Almancil — Restaurant in Loulé

RUN! Unfortunately I'm going to be brutally honest. We gave the restaurant a chance to explain and nothing so I'm going to be honest on how awful this meal was. We were a group of 5 on a Monday night, it was quiet and lovely setting. We sat down and quick serve with drinks and menus. We ordered a lot of food. Complete split between their Chinese meau and Indian menu. Our order was ×5 veggies spring rolls and ×1 Momo ra chatani to start. These were lovely great, no complaints. Excited for the rest. Then as a mid course of Cripsy duck. My favourite...what could go wrong?... THERE WAS MOLD ON THE WRAPS! We all had one each, I went to grab my second and looked and saw a dot, signed my phone torch at him and it was basically completely blue. I told everyone on the table they checked there's and all of them were completely moldy. At this point we should of left. But we had the mains to come we'd ordered.

I ate something that I can never stop thinking about. Something in one of the vindaloos made me genuinely turn green. It was a potato that had been in that kitchen over a year. It tasted as though they wanted to kill me. I was the only one with a potato and everyone was so confused why I was gagging and was almost sick. About 5 mins later my boyfriend picked up a potato and ate it (at this point I hadn't identified my disgusting thing as a potato). He put it in his mouth and immediately spat it out onto a napkin. You could smell it across the table. Omg it was horrific. We complained and they didn't know what it was. We wanted to speak to the chef and they refused to send him out. Then a manager, again no one would talk to us. They refunded the pancakes and 1 curry but still had to pay the other £250+. The place needs to be checked by a health inspector. Worst meal of my life and worst cannot honestly explain...

We attended this restaurant as a family and I have to say that the overall experience was very good. The pasta and the lasagne were to die for! The pizza was good but not as good as the pasta and lasagne. There was an unexpected loss of electricity but the staff took it in their stride and dealt with it in a cool and calm manner which to us seemed a major highlight and it meant that we were not worried about the electricity outage and we could continue enjoying the evening. My parents ordered a bottle of wine and they did not have that wine in stock. They ordered another bottle of wine (more expensive) and they loved it and the restaurant only charged us for the cost of the one that they initially ordered which was a nice gesture and shows that they actually care about their customers. As compensation for the power cut my parents received a complimentary glass of lemoncello. The restuarant was beautifully decorated and even had an outdoor cocktail bar and a pool. This restuarant is better than the nearby Casavostra Pizzareia Overall the night and our expereince of the restaurant was exceptional and we will be returning. The food was lovely, the staff were the friendliest of all the restaurants we had visited and they were professional and it was good value. We wish the restaurant the best of luck at their business venture and hope they succeed and we will be returning and would reccomend it to anyone. Please visit it and I promise it...

The food wasn't good and overpriced, but the people that worked there were nice. We ordered two glasses of fresh orange juice along with the rest of the meal. Halfway through the orange juice, my 11 year old daughter found worms moving in her glass. We informed our waitress about the worms and she offered to replace our drinks with two sodas. When the bill arrived, we were still charged for the orange juice. We inquired about the charge and was told by the waitress that no one there had the authority to remove the charge. It was absolutely ridiculous. I would never recommend this...
