Il Lido Italian Canteen - COTTESLOE

Unfortunately we didn't have time to stay for lunch but we will plan another visit. Very chic funky this bar/ restaurant views of the ocean are spectacular!

Went there with my guests to celebrate my birthday on a Monday night.I can't help but express my big disappointment at the end of the night. It so happens that, of the 20 guests I was expecting for dinner, only 11 showed up and, after we sang happy birthday, the waiter informed me that the cake would be taken to the kitchen to be cut. Each of us (12 people) then received our normal-sized pieces of cake, but the rest of the cake made to serve 22 people did not return to the table in case someone wanted a second piece...When I asked for my box with the rest of the cake I was told that we had eaten all the cake and so I replied that it was impossible since no one got a huge piece of cake or repeated it and that there must have been between 8 and 10 pieces left and then one of the staff replied that he saw the cake in the kitchen but did not know what had happened to the rest of the cake. Just because of that, I already felt extremely disrespected and cheated... I felt bad on my birthday night. To make matters worse, when it came time to pay the bill that was more than $700, I was charged $42 just for taking a cake inside the restaurant. I found this absurd since I was not warned at any time about the charge of this fee before.I felt extremely wronged and sucked, paying $42 for someone at the restaurant to eat almost 50% of my birthday cake that I expected to take home.I found it impolite and extreme rudeness coming from such a fancy restaurant that, despite the good service and good food, I do not intend to return nor recommend it. I sent the manager an email 1 months ago talking about this and never heard back.

It's a lovely feeling when you walk into this corner restaurant.

This restaurant has a great atmosphereIndoor and outdoor seatingFull bar with an elaborate wine selection.
