PORTO DI MARE — Restaurant in Tavira

As someone struggling with sibo, I find it quite hard to enjoy the restaurant experiences lately, let alone in another country. Darshana made it so easy to enjoy yesterday! She informed me with detail about the ingredients of every meal I asked for and was the most attentive and nice waitress we’ve encountered during our trip. Plus the food was delicious and felt good to my stomach. It feels amazing to find restaurants with more than one option for people with intolerances, the menu had so much variety and could be molded for someone like me so it really made my night

We arrived in Cabanas de Tavira late on a Saturday and wanted to find a place to eat.  I checked out some reviews and decided to try Porto Di Mari which is a 5 minute walk from our place.  We were greeted by Darshana who was very pleasant and gracious.   We had a salad (walnuts, apples, etc) and a pizza and the food was great!  Fresh, delicious and good value.  The place was very clean and comfortable.  I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for fantastic food and friendly service at a great value!  In fact, we returned a couple of times again...

The people are friendly, the location is quite nice, but... Both my son and wife got sick from eating here. My wife had tuna tartar and immediately after the meal got a histamine intoxication (heavy rash, headache, stomach issues). It was terrifying.

My son had a hamburger there which smelled off - I told him not to finish it -, and we found out a few weeks later that he had an intestinal parasite which caused a lot of weight losses until we were able to get it out of his system.

Never experienced something like this in my life after eating at...
