HI
I have some friends who are here for Xmas as a family..... 3 generations together (great!)

They are 'globetrotters' - but would love to enjoy a family Christmas lunch, traditional with all the trimmings.

I know that there are often fantastic arrangements to get together as a big group, (like this year......) but they would like to go to a nice place - lively if possible, but celebrate as a family.

They are prepared to drive as far as say Faro - Albuferia even, (either direction)

I am looking in the Portugal news for them, but if anyone can help - and even recommend something - that would be great.

I am thinking Tavira and or Cabanas..... but as I say they can go further, obviously the closer the better if something is good.

Any ideas / recommendations, please?

Thanks in advance
Jon

Thanks for the idea, I know this place, but as a Chinese resto, I dont think they will do the traditional xmas meal that I mentioned.

The Parador normally done a Christmas day menu?, maybe more expensive
but saves travelling?.

I dont think its a traditional ''British" xmas meal with all the trimmings. This is the key requirement.

​​​​​​Weve tried the Hairy lemon, but fully booked, waiting on John's.... Cabanas.

I dont know the Brit/Irish bars in Tavira any names there please?
Thanks

Thanks Ken

I called them, they have it, but on xmas eve, closed xmas day. Traditional fare with some extras for those who don't fancy turkey. The menu will be finalised in a week or two. They are happy to email you when it is ready if you leave your address.

Note fyi that they have full disabled access, ramp + a disabled toilet.

Ive never been...
