What User doesn't like about Sleepy Donkey:
Really confused about the high ratings of this place. Food is average at best, overpriced and small portions. Drinks are more ice than anything else. Disappointing and definitely tourist trap. View all feedback.

I first discovered this little gem 4 years ago on my first trip to Portugal. The service back then was second to non, and happily that hasn't changed either......

"Great service food was very good It's only a small place and it can be hard to get an outdoor seat, I suspect this was an Hidden gem which is not Hidden anymore"

"Menu looks great with many options, but when I went to order a takeaway the server quite schnippily told me that they were not Takeaway because they were so busy (they weren't even so busy... . The setting of the server was quite bad, and does not seem like they should turn customers away in a resort city in low season, but whatever. Just a bit disappointed because you find vegetarian/vegan options in a European resort city needs a little effort if everything has to be on foot away from the hotel, then turn around and the staff quite rudely say you go."
