some take the risk.you could be talking up to 30,000 euro fine per person employed.

Wow, what a bargain Just an everyday meal then! So thats only 87E if you want the wine, bet they are queueing up for that

There's a supposedly brilliant restaurant in Castro Marim, I say supposedly as we haven't got round to trying it yet. Sorry, the name escapes me for now but it's in Castro & you turn off near where the pigeon coops are, maybe Betris or Fortaleza know it or can tell me if it's as good as I've heard. We stopped outside last visit in the pouring rain & were salivating at the menu which was extremely varied & looked very 'up market'. They had set menus from around 40 to 50 or 60 euros a head or of course just have a main course & keep the cost down

How much ???

Well, it's cheaper than Monte Rei & for a special occassion I'll give it a go if only to make a change

I can get a set menu of the day meal for four for that price and you get so much good food and wine you have to be carried home.

As you can in Ayamonte but like I say, for a special occassion I'd give it a go.

No way, I was a war babe and brought up on ration stamp foods, maybe that is why I would never even think about paying that much for a meal when I could feed my family for a week for the same. ;-)

Same here (well, not a war babe but I do frequently lurk about the tescos discount section) but maybe once or twice a year I like a splurge & you ain't gonna make me feel guilty about it so nerrrr

LOL...

I think its great to know of somewhere good for special meals out. Just the drive home afterwards!!! I have been for coffee and it is fabulous and a great location. Was it bussy? I don't like a quiet place!!! especially if I have paid that kind of money. There needs to be some kind of buzz.

Couldn't comment on how busy it gets as we haven't been & when we looked at the menu outside it was closed, didn't look like anything special from the outside but that's par for the course but it was recommended to us by a local who said it gets booked up. I think it's this one called Faz Gostos http://www.eastalgarve.com/pt/equipa...alhe.asp?id=45

For €40 a head, I'd insist on being carried home after.

we go the chinky.eat too mutch and have a bottle of wine about 14 euro for us two.then on to the beach bar and get recked.total cost for two for the whole night about 25 euro.excluding petrol and cigs

take a tip if a place is filled with locals and its not in a middle of a tourist area try it.they are usualy the tastiest down to earh places with real local dishes at local prices.
