    Simply the best

    Better than all the rest. Enough said. Just go and take Julias advice on what is good that night. You cannot go wrong.

    No sign but almost across from ferry

    Had the sea bream and it was outstanding. Inexpensive. The salad it came with had avocado, mango, sweet onions, peaches--whatever Julia has on tap. The little fried potatoes were crispy on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth on the inside. I can see why it's hard to...More

    Excellent lunch!!

    I was pleasantly surprised, as it is in a very touristy spot, so I dreaded seeing fish & chips on the menu. But not at all! I ordered a glass of red house wine and got a very healthy 37 cl pour. Good start. Then...More

    For us the best restaurant in Tavira - you may need to book to avoid disappointmemt

    We ate here two nights running. We ignored the menu and just went for what was on offer - just let Julia tell you what she has and basically go fish or meat. The Stone Bass was absolutely fabulous - so fresh and straight from...More

    Always good, always fun!

    Not sure why we always call the place 'Julia's', presume its the owner, server name. Who is great fun and you always have a good laugh with her, she can be a bit sharp but to us thats the way the place rolls. You just...More

    Fourth visit here in as many years. First time we have brought our two young kids. Julia was excellent and recommended the fresh catch of the day, Stone Bass. Have to say it was the nicest fish dish I have EVER tasted. My son has...More

    Fantastic!

    Really quaint restaurant, with very friendly staff (family owned and operated). Fish is the thing to eat here, it's fantastic! The salad is to die for and the deserts are scrumptious. Well worth a visit while in Tavira.
