I've been to Antonio on 3 occasions now. The first time was in April 2018 for my 29th Birthday. The couple who owned the villa recommended it and even rang and booked us a table. We arrived and were made to feel very welcome. We were taking to our seat, giving a menu to look through. We ordered drinks which came straight away. Had the bread, cheese and pate which was all yummy. Starters were excellent as were the mains. I can't remember which starter I had but I had the lamb chop for my main and it was so good! I then had chocolate cake for dessert and left feeling well fed and in a really good mood. The staff are all lovely and helpful! We went back to Portugal this October and took my partners parents as a treat. Again we were made to feel welcome, the staff do an amazing job and again the food was incredible. His parents loved it so much that we went a second time. We would definitely recommend. (The photos are from our final visit) Not a scrap of food was left. We will hopefully be back, sooner rather than later. Always a great atmosphere, lovely staff, great food and drinks what more can you ask for.

Read moreRead moreHave been eating here for 3 decades. The menu has only had a few tweaks in that time, it's familiar Portuguese food done a little differently. Always popular with expats of many nations. Sadly in the last 2-3 years complacency seems to have set in . Food choices and opening times have shrunk, meanwhile the prices have sky-rocketed. Drinks are expensive, desserts never were a strong point (bought in or frozen). The house wine is not good but upgrading the bottle will drain your wallet. Many dishes now come with a supermarket quality mixed salad rather than fresh veg, even tuna steak does...it just doesn't work. Must've visited 30 times in all of which about half the meals since 2019 were below par. But price is now...
