We have eaten here a couple of times in recent years and, by way of a recommendation, would be happy to do so again in the future. However, it isn't our favourite place to eat in Cabanas. Quite simply, we feel you can do better for your money in these hard pressed times.

I chose this restaurant as it had been recommended. The service was extremely slow and the food seemed ok. I shared a seafood paella with my husband.

Very nice restaurant with a warm service. The food is very good (either fish or meat) with a exquisite taste of traditional Portuguese food. Calm and quiet even in summer time. Worthwhile trying the tuna fish stake (much better than the traditional way of cooking it) and the Arroz de Lingueirão (razor shell rice).

We found this restaurant to be the best in Cabanas, its located in a holiday village of apartments, townhouses etc but well worth coming away from the busy port for. The food was good and plentiful, excellent value for money, the staff were friendly and helpful, you could see that they really cared about their restaurant and their customers. We... More

We ate here a couple of times while staying in Cabanas De Tavira. We do not like to eat in overly touristy places and thus didn’t fancy the Restaurants on the front which had some British meals on the menu and where full of non-Portuguese tourists. We found A Fonte just a minute or two away from the front and... More

Pretty good but after reading the reviews were expecting a bit more, I ordered steak rare and it came well done, they did replace but a bit grudgingly, apart from that very good, better than most on the shorefront.

This restaurant has got to be the best in Cabanas. Nothing is too much trouble for the very helpful staff. Maybe not the cheapest. But certainly the best!!

A fonte is a small restaurant a bit off the main drag. I visited in June with my daughter. Really friendly and helpful proprietor. Wonderful fish dishes, good sized portions and really very reasonable price. Nice relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
