Academico - Silves

We couldn’t fault our trip here the other night and we are going again tonight. Simple traditional food, served very quickly and with a smile. Parking is a bit difficult but that is not the restaurants fault and there is parking nearby that is only a short walk. Very happy x

Simple cuisine with ocean view prices ? Hard to find parking . The food was basic nothing special and the prices where beach prices they are in messines ? better opcions around for better prices and food .

We live fairly nearby and have eaten here a fair number of times over the last three years. There was always a very friendly, jovial, attentive waiter. He wasn’t there the last few times (left? and we noticed the food wasn’t perhaps up to the usual standard. However, the last time, about three weeks ago, we decided not to return. Steak was very rare, rather than the medium rare requested, and grisly. Salmon was half it’s usual size and quite unevenly cooked- one half just right and the other overcooked. The young waiter, though polite, a little offhand. We had to ask for drinks when the main meal was served as it wasn’t offered. Such a shame as this used to be one of our ‘go to’ restaurants when we have visitors. Or just when we fancy a good meal out.

Great place and fantastic food and value, Room out the back is lovely and Pablo is a great host!! Good food and choice and the wines not in the list but hidden away are amazing.

We visited this nice looking, well recommended cafe/restaurant during the advertised gastronomy week (Semana Gastronomia). The staff were lovely and appreciated our attempts to speak Portuguese. Despite the title of the week's festivities the menu looked like the usual everyday one. My starter of quail eggs and sausage really was just fried eggs with sausage...my main of Polvo with sweet potato was okay but quite a bit of it was undercooked and inedible. My wife's pork mixed grill was large and a bit dry a sauce of some kind may have helped. The house wine was excellent as it normally is in most Portuguese places! It was a long way to drive for very average food...we are not at all fussy.. maybe they were off their game last night.
