Svitlana Caffe — Restaurant in Vila Real de Santo António

Well located on one of the main avenues. However, it's the worst coffe shop in the town. The tall, thin waitress, whose name we don't know, was super arrogant and rude, uneducated, and didn't pay any attention to our requests. She was just there to be there, it was completely absent. We ordered a pizza it was frozen from the supermarket, added just some ingredients, and charged us €12. It's a complete rip-off. The prices are too high for the type of coffee shop. A Coke for instance it was €2.50! We'd read that they even charged for glasses of water, but we gave it a try since we're on vacation with the kids. The tables on the terrace are too close together, there's no privacy whatsoever. There's only one bathroom, which smell awful. They're just focused on making money. We'll never go again, there's much more and better...

We try when possible to keep our reviews up to date to give visitors a true idea what Svitlana Caffe is like.

Coffee : We always order coffee and we have never been disappointed with the quality.

Cakes : We don't have cakes every time we go to the cafe but again always pleased with the quality.

Lunch : A varied menu is offered based on local fresh produce but the salards are excellent.

Service : It must be very difficult to provide a service that satisfies all nationalities , some people want to be served before they have sat down , others are on no hurry. It also needs to be remembered that certain people like to moan regardless of the the experience they received.

Cost : For the quality of the food provided we feel the cafe really offers good value for money.

We walked around for a little while and just didn’t know what coffee shop or pastry shop would be good. We must have wales in and out of a couple and looking for at least half and hour. Then we stumbled across Svitlana Caffe. As we walked in we were told the coffee is great as are the cakes so that was a good sign. Full of locals the shop is only small and seating outside.

Very polite and friendly. The coffee was amazing I ordered extra and the pastel De Nata was the best I had ever had. Flakey crispy crunchy pastry and the custard was not to sweet but just perfect as was the caramelised top. Again. Ordered extra they were so good. Best bit. The price. Oh my you just can’t go wrong. Cash only though so stop off at the ATM beforehand....
