Lena Gourmet Cafe — Restaurant in Portimão

Absolutely terrible – stay away!

Only the location is good. Service is rude, prices are high, and food is disappointing. Orange juice was extremely sour, milkshake was watery, and food took 35 minutes to arrive. Tables were tiny—we had to split into two, but staff forced us to cram into one. I ordered a crepe first, but it never came. The female owner said it was coming, then the male owner claimed we never ordered it. Total chaos.

I canceled the order, but later the owner tried to hand us a crepe we didn’t order and passed it to another customer when I refused—dishonest and pushy. Payment failed because the boss was holding the card machine wrong, then blamed my card. Once flipped, it worked perfectly—no apology.

To top it off, I fell on the narrow stairs to the restroom and injured my arm. No one cared. Worst restaurant experience ever. Avoid...

We came to this place, but we got catfished. you would think if they have English breakfast written in bold then fancy that it would be good but it wasn’t. The eggs are like mushy, powdery all the food had an overall weird texture. The sausages straight up taste like cheap hotdogs, and fell apart very easily. We were extremely disappointed, and it was ridiculously overpriced for a terrible meal. Definitely won’t be...

Lena it's an incredible lady who knows how to show empathy with her smile!

We ate the best Pastel de Nata and Apple pie, but also the breakfast it was good! She also made every morning best croissant's and bread! She knows how to have you back again! 👌🏻😌

Next year i will return to Praia da Rocha for the DEEPDISH TOUR and im definitely sure where i return for eating...
