Sítio da Pedralva — Restaurant in Vila do Bispo

We had a bad experience due to really disgusting behavior by a customer who seems to be overly friendly with the owners and behaves like he owns the place. When we came in the dog of the two men came up to us and we were cordial and everything was fine. For some reason he was telling his dog to come to us, but we just ignored them. Then later he walks by our table, and without saying anything, he just steps on my dog with his dirty boot and just stands over here stepping on her. I look at him and ask him what he is doing, and he says to not worry that dogs like it. I then told him to please put his foot off my dog, in a way that was honestly way too polite for such disgusting and disrespectful behavior. He then got angry at ME for telling him not to. He then made a scene being overly nice to other people eating there and giving them food from his plate loudly saying “… because YOU deserve it, not like this young generation” pointing at us and speaking very loud about us. Who just steps on other people’s dogs?? What a disgusting person.

And I find it disgusting that the owners allow their buddies to treat their customers this way when they are just trying to enjoy a peaceful lunch. Nice company you keep. As soon as we walked in my gf wrote a note on her phone telling me she knows men like this at the bar she works and all they do is harass any women who enter, and she was right that it was just a matter of time before they did no matter what we did. I wouldn’t normally blame an owner for something like this, but they made it clear they were buddies, and we all got the impression right away that they always act like this. We didn’t give you our business to be disrespected like this, we will not be back and we hope nobody does.

And again - who steps on people’s dogs like this and expect a positive reaction?? Unbelievable. Don’t step on people’s dogs for...

My husband and I had an EXCELLENT lunch here on the terrace. Eurico was very friendly and helpful - which enhanced our experience. He recommended the codfish in bread (Bacalhau no Pão) as the specialty. We ordered the 2 pax version for 27€ and only managed to finish 2/3rds despite my husband being a reasonably big eater - it was THAT big! Eurico kindly packed the remainder so we could have it for dinner. He recommended the carob tart with lime & basil ice cream (5€) and it was delicious. Reasonably priced, great service and delicious food - we’d...

I enjoyed a prawn and rice dish, which was delicious. However there was a mix up with the chicken dishes and we were told the long wait for the rest was because the chicken needed to be defrosted. The chef came out to apologise, which was really nice of him and provided free goats cheese to keep us going (extra points!), however we didn’t find the chicken to be tasty after this which was a shame. Overall, I’d like to retry this restaurant (who have super kind and friendly staff) and have our group try different...
