Came across this restaurant whilst waking around Vilamoura Marina, lunches were very reasonably priced so in we went. The restaurant was bright cheerful and very clean, a very warm welcome was extended to us and service was first class, the food was first class, well cooked, well presented and delicious. Will certainly visit again and no hesitation in recommending this establishment.

This is the third time we have dined at this restaurant, and our two previous reviews gave a very positive account of the experience. This time it is more mixed, but let's begin with the good things. The food is still vey good. My wife was particularly happy with her starter and main course. Her tortellini was one of the best she has ever tasted.My starter of coffee smoked duck was OK, but the slices where so thin they looked like they had been painted on, and one of the main sauces tased like a thicker AI sauce. My main was very tasty, a 14 hour cooked portion of lamb. But there was no real skill here to reflect the price. My dessert was pear tart-this was tarted up (forgive the pun) with a tweel. The tweel tasted dry and bland and the cold pieces of stewed pear were unappealing. Once again my wife way more that happy with her purple chocolate dessert.The service overall was very good, although because we were 9mins early we were asked to wait outside in the corridor. Whoever turns up anywhere exactly on the minute?There is a very good wine list particularly for wines form Portugal. I asked the wine waiter's advice for a Portugese white wine similar to a Burgundian style. He gave us two options and we were allowed to taste both. These were two quite expensive wines-110 and 95 euro respectively, but they were quite good. Now given all the mystique around wine and serving wine, our first glasses were served at an appropriate temperature, but the wine was left in an ice bucket and by the time of the last glass it was too cold and tasted of nothing. The restaurant was half empty surely this could have been avoided by giving the process some attention.Now some of the above may sound a bit picky, but the prices this restaurant charges are the same as other michelin starred restaurants in the area (and above some). For 275 euros for two, I expect much more; more quality, more consistency, more courtesy for customers slightly early, and more attention to the care and delivery of expensive wines.We previously wrote that this restaurant was not ready for a michelin star but that it was getting there, but now it has gone backwards, and I'm afraid we won't be back.Dear Guest,We were devastated to hear that we have failed to meet your expectations; all your valuable inputs have been put forward to the team.We wish nothing more than to be given the opportunity to revert your last review, do advise should you return to EMO in a near future.Life is a journeyMarta Mota Pinto

Having read glowing reviews we took a taxi there. We were very disappointed. Couvert (very plain breads and pate) was very ordinary and at â¬8 each quite expensive. Given complimentary starter but would have preferred to pay the â¬8 for a starter of choice. Main course was average and a couple of items were not available that night.Está a mentir não pagou o couvert ( pão, agua, pate, doce, e queijo da ilha dos Acores ) não pagou nada por tudo isto ! as entradas são 8 euros mas inclui a sobremesa que é oferta ! certo ? a proprietaria.

BJâs was recommended to us by as a friend as her most favourite beach bar ever. This sounds like high praise but having visited last night we agree.Being October things are starting to wind down and they serve food until 18.00 in the evening. During the summer it must be much later. I would suggest booking especially if you wanted a table at the edge of the beach which our table was.The team running the place were welcoming and unhurried but very efficient, a great combination.We all ate off the fresh fish board which was a little more expense but was first class. We didnât hold back on starters main, and two of the group had starters. For the 4 of us including all drinks and a tip it came to â¬190.Towards the end of the meal the sun set giving the most amazing set set we have seen for a long time.Well worth a visit.I am so pleased that you enjoyed your visit to Bjs and I really hope we can welcome you again soon.

Our fifth year visiting Quarteira and we ate here twice, as we always do.Whether it's a daytime lunch or a 'dress up' dinner, the quality of the food never drops below five star.The fresh catch of the day is always excellent, and we ate sole, sea bass as well as the chicken curry and steak, all were beautifully cooked and served.Desserts as well were lovely, and finished off with coffee and macieira...wonderful!Thanks again Miguel and Vanessa for all your hard work, well done.

We visited Cafe del Arte with family that have been visiting this restaurant for a few years now and we were not disappointed. On a Wednesday evening they bbq and provide live entertainment. The bbq is brought directly to your table with side salads whilst you sit and enjoy the entertainment. You feel as though you are sitting on a set of Mamma Mia under the grape vines and white tables and chairs! Service is very friendly and then the entertainment begins ........ usually Krassie ( one of the owners) plays violin to diners but on this occasion there was also an acquaintance of his from Dubai, a fabulous musician who played harp whom he accompanied. It was truly breathtaking. There are also dancers who put on a good show. We had the best evening and will certainly return on our next visit to Villamoura. Obrigado.

Having spent an afternoon in Quarteira and not being familiar with the area we turned to TripAdvisor for inspiration. Thankfully the reviews on here do this place justice and we enjoyed one of the best meals we've ever had in Portugal.The outdoor seating area enjoys a great ambiance and reminded us of being in the grounds of a farmhouse deep in the French countryside.If we're ever in the Quarteira area again this place would be our first port of call for some great food.

Booked this restaurant as we had it recommended and tried it in March.Today we attended and had to stand in reception. Whilst stood in this area I was covered in red wine when a bottle was dropped by a customer( who shouldnât have been lifting down the bottle).The initial reaction from the receptionist seemed to be my fault for standing there.I had red wine on my top, my white jeans and my tan shoes. We were shown to our table where I was offered a dry tissue 10 minutes after the accident at our demand.Anyway that was a bad start.The food arrived less than five minutes after ordering. The course I chose came as a weird combination an escalope with spaghetti in tomato sauce and green leaf salad. The escalopes were hot the pasta was clap cold. My wife had spaghetti with aubergine etc and this was cold too. We werenât offered Parmesan etc.As we were now in poor mood we decided to leave, yes we didnât pay for the meal. But the meal didnât deserve it! Wonât return.Dear Mr PShaq, as per the email we sent you after this incident, we reiterate our apologies. As we explained, the recepcionist was flustered by the situation and trying to help out in what was an unexpected accident (a client at the reception accidently dropped a bottle of wine and the head waiter and himself were covered in wine). We are very sorry this accident spoiled your night, the manager tried his best to fix this situation by offering your meal and we also offered to pay for the dry cleaners or pay for the damaged items. It was an unfortunate situation that we tried to correct to the best of our capabilities.
