Assaturae — Restaurant in Tavira

It was ok, Picanha (3 small pieces) was cooked med but no color on the outside looked like it was microwaved. Needed a quick seer to lock in the juices & have it Med with a nice color on the outside. Knife was horrible, you need a serrated knife to cut steak. Dessert, Pudin was burnt & very bitter. Waiter was very attentive but unfortunately when asked what kind of crab was in the Surf & Turf was told “a crab that looks like a shrimp”. That was a first for me & I am not aware of any crab that looks like a shrimp.

Absolutely delighted with the experience. A fresh look into the traditional Cabanas restaurants, very modern, well decorated and cosy environment at the same time. Staff is so nice, making you feel at home really, giving sugestions on the dishes and explaining everything in detail. The food...wow, really the top meat dishes i found in Cabanas, the Picanha and the Maminha were really good well the exact cooking point and so delicious... I also sugest the traditionally brewed beer, Pale, really excellent. Really recomend this place if you want to vary from fish and seafood. Can't wait to come back! Thank...
