13 gastrobar — Restaurant in Portimão

Extremely rude waitress. If this is a reflection of the food and service, I would not recommend.

I had rang 3 hours previous to arriving and asked for a table. I was told that the last reservation was 9:30pm as they were fully booked before that. Nonetheless, we were told to arrive at 9:30 and were told there would be a table by this time. Arrived at 9:30, after not eating might I add, to be told that there was no availability for us.

Waitress at the door was unbelievably rude and did not try in the slightest to accommodate us even though the entire inside restaurant was vacant. I can understand the outside “secret garden” may have been occupied but there were numerous free tables inside. She told us that there was 3 tables ahead of us and that after that, the kitchen would be closing. You’d like to think a small tapas restaurant in the fishing village of Alvor would prioritise making money during their busy summer season and accommodate guests where possible, especially when tables are empty & available. But obviously this was not the case. Extremely...

Wow what a fantastic meal ! Booked via Facebook messenger and asked for a table in the garden (just be aware of the mozzies that are unavoidable) and our table was just beautiful. Very quickly the outside was pretty much full but if you aren't bothered there seemed to be free tables inside. Great choices on the menu and staff were very helpful making suggestions. Think we had 5 tapas dishes to share between my husband and I plus a couple dishes from the kids for our 1 and 3 year old. The flaming chorizo was delicious, perhaps should have just got the small one rather than medium. Our favourite dish has to be the Melted Camembert with fried garlic, bacon and red onion jam - wow if only I could recreate that !!! We had a pesto and sun dried tomato chicken dish, meatballs and patata brava. No room for desert sadly!

Highly recommended a...

A friend of mine recommended this place for its delicious tapas, he was not wrong. Off the beaten path, you will find this place in a dark side street, just off of one of the main roads of Alvor. Right away we didn't get the greatest vibes from the staff, but the sign secret garden made us stay. After almost no wait we got in and the garden, very lush, looked lovely. The staff took their time to come to our table or simple acknowledge us while they waited other tables. Eventually we got the menus, after this a very young girl waited our table and she was very nice and attentive to us. The food was delicious, the bread amazing, the sauces to die for, portions to the point and a great sangria. In the end we were very happy with our choice, but at the end they site made us wait again so that we could...
