Canico - Portimão

Ótimo serviço e experiência. Frenesi de peixe. Este não é o seu típico bar de praia. Melhor depois das 19h. Reserve.

Lugar encantador durante o verão. Escondido numa gruta perto da prainha em Alvor. Deve visitar durante os meses de primavera e verão.

Uma das principais características do restaurante é o ambiente, com vista para a praia e para o mar. O restaurante era um pouco mais caro do que estávamos habituados a ver em Portugal mas o peixe era absolutamente fresco e o empregado trazia-o para mostrar e para você escolher. Extremamente bom, sugerido para almoço se você estiver hospedado na praia ao lado!!

Terrible experience from start to finish, the only positive point being the view which is stunning! We booked the meal to work around our 7 month old baby’s nap time, when we arrived we were informed you cannot bring your buggy to the table, this resulted in us having to hold our crying daughter whilst trying to eat our food. The food wasn’t great, my mother had the sole which was full of bones. She received 3 small pieces of fish which cost €32, our wine that we ordered never arrived. The steak was chewy and over cooked. At one point we asked to move table only to be informed that all the tables were booked which was fair enough, only to discover that ten mins later, the Portuguese family sat next to us asked to be moved and it wasn’t a problem, they were relocated to a different table with no questions asked. I will not hesitate in the slightest to tell people to avoid this overpriced establishment! The view wasn’t worth almost €200 at the end of the day!

Stunning location, friendly, attentive service, fresh fish, however standard of cooking was poor, fish not seasoned or grilled well, tasted steamed rather than grilled although done on the barbecue in front of guests. Side order of garlic rice was not edible as still hard not even al dente), was taken off the bill, however the bill was still enormous at €115 for two people, the fish accounting for €84!!!
