Carvi — Restaurant in Portimão

Had a lovely meal tonight, we are only in Portimao for one night as was my 60th birthday. We always like the bread and sardine paste for a light starter then I had the monkfish and prawns in a light sauce with a hint of coriander ..delicious. My wife had a prawn curry which was also not too overpowering as to obscure the taste of the prawns and was very pleasant also. We finished on Honey pudding and local ewes cheese...a nice end to proceedings. The gentlemen serving us were most entertaining and had a great sense of humour..the service was impeccable and made for a very entertaining night. We would also like to thank the staff in the kitchen for their efforts. Great place to eat and lovely decor complemented by the tiles...

Soooo good. I have not had fish like this anywhere. the food is good honest food. Great honest food. You get fresh food and cooked with all fresh produce local to the area. You really get the sincere feeling that the folks that are involved with this place love their city and love to share what they love about it. I loved it... i still remember this meal 1 year after my visit, even though I was sat outside on a windy day, it was perfect... there is marvelous indoor seating to this place, but i did not find out till after my meal, but I was happy people watching and enjoying a fantastic meal... it was fabulous, and the service was ace!! Real...

The old gentleman welcome us in, everything looks good on the menu, I asked him for some recommendations to help me chose. The seafood is super fresh and tasty. It’s definitely worth for the effort to make journey into. Unfortunately we need to catch the bus to the airport which doesn’t come very often, after informing the staff he kindly asked the kitchen to speed up the process. We rapidly inhaled our main, the veal chop is nice and tender very good portion and so is the grilled octopus. Wish we can have more time to enjoy this delicious meal in the future. A big thank you to all the staff, we wouldn’t make it on time...
