Restaurante Joaquim Gomes — Restaurant in Vila Real de Santo António

We went on a busy day, so take this with a pintch of salt.

We ordered sangria, we were still waiting for it after the food arrived. We kept asking for it and only aftwr 10 mins of our food on the table the remember they never asked the size or the colour.

I had to ask for the bill 4 times before they remembered to bring it.

They did allow us to move table to one with more shade, which generated some confusion with the tables but I can understand that.

Please avoid this place if you appreciate good food...

Mau!! Quando vimos na ementa, na secção das especialidades, arroz de lingueirão ficamos entusiasmados e pedimos 3 doses (uma cada um) e 1 dose de escalopes com cogumelos. O nosso entusiasmo durou mais ou menos uma hora, dado que o serviço é lento, após isso foi a desilusão total, o arroz era branco encruado,, sem sabor, semelhante a comida de hospital, com meia duzia de lingueirões areados, sem coentros ou qualquer vestigio dos demais ingredientes que fazem parte desta receita.....enfim.....relativamente aos escalopes, posso dizer que era duro, tinha pequenos vestigios de cogumelos e batatas fritas frias. O serviço é deficiente, com empregados pouco educados e cozinheira/o de pessima qualidade. Por duas vezes trouxeram a conta errada. Não voltaremos com certeza pois tivemos de pagar e ir jantar a outro...
