Café Império — Restaurant in Monchique

Such a delicious lunch and dessert. We ordered everything from cheese, butter, sardine, pate, and olives. For lunch we ordered chicken and french fries. Everything was hot and fresh and delicious. The best part was definitely the dessert as everything was homemade. Inside of the restaurant there is a big see-through fridge with all the different desserts and we got everything except for the meringue. I definitely recommend the passion fruit cake along with the walnut cake. The chicken was really good but the spicy chicken wasn’t spicy. It’s OK though because they gave us hot sauce to eat with it. The tomato salad was also delicious and perfectly seasoned salt, olive oil, and vinegar. The server was really nice and funny and told us that there was a big festival going on so our whole entire party went there in the afternoon it happened to be the town’s spring festival.

We were a party of eight people consisting of six adults and two children under 15. Everything came out to €120 including beverages and dessert. Definitely a must stop when...

This is such a nice place for an authentic Portugese meal. The restaurant has been here for over 35 years and in that time the interior and the menu have remained untouched, because why change a winning team?

The menu is simple; you can order chicken from the barbeque with fries. There is some salad, a cheese platter and a ham platter and that's it. It is also everything you need, because the food is super tasty.

For dessert there is a whole fridge full of homemade desserts, they are very nice, if you still have some space in your belly, I would highyl reccommend you to pick a dulce

Don't come here for the cosy atmosphere, enjoy the local experience when it comes to eating out in Portugal. The restaurant gets crowded around 1, so come early or expect to wait quite some time. All in all a wonderful place, wish I had a restaurant like this...

We have been to this place a few times and it is always good. There is a limited menu, but boy do they do it well. The hand sliced ham is so tasty, the little carrot and olive dish amazing, but then the salad and Piri Piri chicken is to die for. We had been to another Piri Piri place in Portimao the previous week it was good as well but we felt a little rushed. The atmosphere in the old part we find better. But the outdoor is also great and on a clear day the views are stunning. This is a family run business, The prices are very good. Remember that do not take cards. WE LOVE THIS PLACE, SO DID OUR FAMILIY FROM THE USA. 100%...
