Re: Restaurants
Hi Fred
We are the same, re timing, but had to get back after lockdown. Normally its too hot and busy (for us) in high season.
Its true that many of the customers are Portuguese tourists obviously fresh from the beach.
However the resto remains very popular in lower season too. Obviously not as much as at the moment. We discovered this 'plaice'
a few years ago and we've waited previously and always try to get there early. Which is 1pm ST for us. Its a favourite of ours.
We could be back out in early October - if we cross, we'll have a good nosh-up in one of the many options

However due to a decision made more than 50 years ago September 26th will be one of our days there

A bit of sad news for those who enjoyed Le Guarita bar in Villa Verde. It has a sign on the door saying that due to structural problems they have to close for the foreseeable future. But they do hope to reopen sometime. No sign of any building work yet.

Re: Restaurants
Good news re Monte Francisco. As you turn off the road from VRSA also the exit road from the Mway....
You immediately come to a roundabout... . The huge resto that is there, that has been closed for decades, is being renovated as a new resto, which will be even closer to CE.
Its amazing that a small village like MF has more to offer than our huge CE development.
Cant wait for it to open......

It could be just a fiesta venue like the one at the entrance to Aldi in Atura since it is so big. Last Saturday was the first time I have seen that one used in all our years in ESURI.
We await the results with interest!

Re: Restaurants
we have been watching this for about 6 moths. It started with lopping the palms, pause then tidying up the huge forecourt, pause then outside renovations, pause then external decoration. Now they seem to be going inside but if they don’t hurry up they will miss the summer season having missed all the first communion parties.
