Restaurante The Lyric — Restaurant in Portimão

I can recommend the English breakfast here. Delicious, black pudding, white pudding, sausages, bacon, eggs, mushrooms, tomato, toast. The only criticism I would make about the food would be the size of the portion of baked beans, the ceramic pot they were served in was about the size of a teaspoon! The staff seemed a little distracted while we’re there. We had about three different waitresses dealing with our table of two. The order was taken quite quickly and the food arrived in good time. However we had drunk our (black) coffees by the time the food arrived so we asked the waitress who took our initial order if we could have two more coffees. After a while two frothy cappuccinos arrived. We pointed out we had ordered and been drinking black coffees. A few minutes passed before another waitress came over and she seemed somewhat confrontational telling us we had ordered cappuccinos. I had to point out I’m dairy intolerant so I would never order a milky coffee, however she still looked in my empty coffee cup as if to confirm I wasn’t lying and it was actually black coffee I had been drinking. A little while later our two black coffees arrived. When we finished our meal our table was cleared away and we were just finishing our second coffee when two more breakfasts were brought to our table and as the waitress starting to put them down in front of us. I told her we had already eaten and just wanted the bill. To sum up, the breakfast was very good, a reasonable price but the customer service aspect could have been improved. I would still recommend visiting. Please note though that the attached photo has an extra sausage on the plate, you get two, not three. (My wife had given me one of hers as she couldn’t...

What a great place! Fabulous food and a family atmosphere. There were nine of us ranging from three to eighty years old and everyone felt at home. Three of us arrived early, not a problem, the rest of the family turned up ten minutes late, wasn't even noticed! We were looked after really well, drinks orders taken as we needed them, no push to order food, but no delays when we did. A couple of hiccups on a very large order, but it was tapas, so no drama and quickly sorted with a genuine smile, I don't think anyone else noticed! I think we probably ordered more than half of the tapas menu, many favourites getting double orders and we did order an extra couple of 'top ups' at the end because they were so nice! As we finished, there was no attempt to push us out, hurry us along nor to sell us more, it was so relaxed that we all felt like we were regulars! One regret, I forgot to ask the waiter his name to mention here because he was fabulous! Well done young guy...

Stunning Breakfast (Try the home made bread)

We read the reviews and were not disappointed. Greeted by a very friendly waiter, who gave us menus, interacted with us Inc our 3 year old. Quickly reappeared to take out order, we had some changes, absolutely fine no issues and changes and additions were made. Again great interaction with the 3y/o (goes such a long way with me as he's part of our family so inclusion is key for us)

2 full breakfasts (black / white pudding removed) Coffee & Tea. Plus apple juice all served quickly and super got. Tea was in quaint little teapot. And breakfasts were amazing. If it wasn't our last day we would 1000% go back... **TOP TIP - HOMEMADE BREAD, if they have it try it, you only get one slice, but it's amazing, so fresh and you can taste the difference to normal...
