Restaurante Telheiro Do Infante — Restaurant in Vila do Bispo

This restaurant has one big plus and that's the fantastic view from the terrace. We unfortunately didn't enjoy the rest too much. I asked for a glass of white wine: I got a sweet wine with a very light fizz which tasted of a cheap sekt: not to my liking. My grandma used to cook the veggies the way they serve it here: cooked too long so it loses all the crisp and flavour, finished off with a proper amount of ground pepper. Just the way grandpa liked it. Furthermore the deserts were presented on a plate at the table, so nothing could be left to your imagination before being served. To continue about the dishes: The fish soup was very bland and needed a lot of salt and pepper to make something from it, resulting in the most boring fish soup I've ever tasted. The buffala mozzarella was just plain mozzarella, or the cook was tricked into thinking it was buffala mozzarella. Since the cook was not in form anyways, there was a decision made that mint looks almost like basil, so that could perfectly match the salade caprese. The red fish was grilled too long and wasn't too exciting either. Some positives: the tomatoes in the salade caprese were very tasty. The view is stunning. And the service very friendly. 2 stars...

I don’t know what is wrong with the owner but she is very bossy and really doesn’t understand what hospitality is. How can you be an owner of a place like this when you are very rude to your customers. She doesn’t agreed with our order and wanted to suggest a different wine over and over again and it was just very rude verbally and non verbally. We told her we just want to order that wine we chose and that we are customers in the restaurant so that we should be able to choose what we want. She replied with that she is the owner of the place (with other words; I can do and say whatever I want). As someone who worked in hospitality a long time I have never experienced something like this. Big shock.

You need to be an example for your staff!

The location is very nice though, beautiful views and the food was not bad. However I would never return here nor recommend...

Amazing restaurant location, really on top of the beach with Sagres bay landscape view, own parking lot, wide dining room and fantastic terrace. We ate octopus with chillies in the oven and tbone steak with local "garlic bread mash" and sweet french fries. The freshness of all ingredients was incredible and also the local white wine was very mind clean. Prices are high (35eur pp) but very acceptable as per the quality and location. Nevertheless, and reason for not giving 5* is simple one waiter, curly blond with glasses, that not only put a judgement on us on our arrival (holidays casual dress code) as well as keeping pushing for the highest products and with 0 customer interaction (reason might be that only want 1st customers, as per the season). In constrast 2 afro waiters that were gentile, sweet and caring. To go back but clearly asking for abseentism from...
