This restaurant is a little quirky inside, all sorts of ornaments around the place, lovely table settings so we though we'd give it a try. The menu looked good and after eating a lot of fish over the period of two weeks the Beef Bourginion looked pretty tempting. The service was excellent, wasn't too busy on the night we visited...

I have known this restaurant for a couple of years and have been dining there with pleasure every time I visited Carvoeiro, both for business as for pleasure. The food is of good quality, the menu is being changed every once in a while, and the owner ( John? ) is very friendly and has a high standard of service.... More

decided to eat here after such good reviews but we were quite disappointed. No atmosphere, food middle of the road. Had the lamb crown - pity there wasn't any lamb in it!! More

Rolled fillet of beef with rocket & parmesan didn't appear to have any parmesan in it. Salmon with asparagus was devoid of the promised sauce. Beef bourguignonne consisted mainly of over-floured gravy and was served with salad (and mashed potatoes and a small round of corn on the cob). Vegetables and onions/shallots seemed to be "off". And we waited over... More

John and Francien run a really attractive restaurant in the heart of Carvoeiro. From the minute you enter, the immaculately laid tables with their sparkling wine glasses and the welcoming staff give you a confidence that you've made a good choice. And indeed the food only enhances this first impression. There are nice touches such as a little amuse bouche... More

After checking on tripadvisor we had Maxime on our number 1 to visit. It was worth the visit, the food and the service was good and we did eat during our stay 2 times here. The Irish coffee was delicious. More

A bit more expensive than most of the other restaurants in Carvoeiro, but definitely worth it. They offer gratis items between each course – melon, a champagne and lime sorbet, port. They offer a separate vegetarian menu. The food is delicious and nicely presented. Service can be slow when they are busy. Tables have linen table clothes. The walls of... More

We always eat here at least once per visit to Carvoeiro. We like the fact that the menu is different to other restaurants. The owner can certainly cook and her husband controls front of house with skill.On the negative side we very much dislike the fact that every inch of the restaurant is filled with ornaments of flying witches,clocks,cuddly toys...
