Went to the Tavira Lounge for lunch the other day, good food, good prices and nice staff, it also has a little table for the small ones to colour and chalk at.

Try the homemade quiche its very nice, comes with salad and lovely dressing. They are open at night as well.

Its just off the main square where the cafes are near the Roman bridge, follow the road the cars take and it bends left at the bridge and its about
50m on your right.

Sounds great will give it a try many thanks

Their home-made cheesecake is great as are the meatballs.

Oooh, that sounds good, I'm off on a quiche mission tomorrow then.

Have you tried Rive Gauche - on the same road as Aquasol - we have had a couple of fantastic (if slightly quirky) meals there recently!

Was in Tavira to complete on our new apartment last weekend. We also ate at Tavira Lounge (soup, salad and steak sandwiches - great to have somewhere for lunch that is not a mega meal) We also went for a few drinks in the evening - lovely ambience. In fact the several restaurants we ate in Tavira over the weekend were all good for different reasons. We also ate at Luis' in the village on Monte Francisco - almost on the Portugal/Spain border - busy Portuguese restaurant nice atmosphere.

Know the place you mean - "good food but the service is crap". Luis is a bit of a character, isn't he?

hi all will have to try tavire lounge is it near the water works thingway, near the river if heading for bus station
Have a good xmas in tavira everyone

yes it is....

& agree with all of the comments...very nice....

& good to find somewhere to eat "any time of the day" rather than fixed lunch & dinner times......

Didn't he have a place in Monte Francisco?

He used to run the restaurant in the sports club but now has a place just up the hill from there. Can't remember the name, sorry.

Have heard on the grapevine there is a new Italian retaurant and bar opening in Tavira where Patricks bar used to be.

sounds good, is that just down from the porta nova hotel?

Yep thats the one.
When we come back from golf at quinta de vale we pop into his old place for a swift halve or three. Cheapest pint anywhere.

There has been work going on there for quite some time now and when we passed by yesterday they were fitting new doors. But I have no idea what sort of food they will be serving. As far as I know the new owners are from the Beira do Rio/Irish Bar.

The owners of the building are from the Irish but they have leased it out.
