Restaurant "A Palmeira" — Restaurant in Loulé

Got slightly scared based on some other comments, but as usual it always depends on the experience. For me it was a very pleasant one. The staff was nice enough, there was a wasp inside attacking my son's bread and they swiftly took her out by their own hands, just to name an episode. 😃. Algarve in the summer, so we obviously focused on fish, "dourada" and "sardinhas" and the fish was spot on in terms of grilling point and was really fresh. The side dishes were great as well, fast to deliver and great doses...8 sardines - one dose. The price was very reasonable for August in Algarve - e.g. 9,5€ for the sardines. All in all, recommended and I would (will)...

E para terminar, qual é o meu espanto quanto vejo doses de frango a sair para outras mesas perto das 14h enquanto espero pela sobremesa que também ja pedi ha cerca de 20 minutos e se esqueceram.. muito desapontada. O peixe é bom, mas não...
