Would second recommendation for Casa Vincente, also look on the corner opp Church...(up the hill from Mateos), where we have had excellent Tapas on a couple of occasions.

OK, I know the same question (restaurants) has been posed many times before and I have taken note of some of the responses, but here goes anyway. Coming over on Thursday for a few days golf with three friends. We plan to go to O Infante one night, Jags for a ruby another. Now I am looking for three more suggestions where we will find good food and some life. I guess that probably rules out Isla Canela as I gather it can be pretty dead this time of year. looking for one fish resto and a good tapas bar.
What's dinner like at the golf club and is there any atmosphere?
As mentioned, sorry to ask the same question but it seems that the quality can change from time to time, so looking for recent experience.
Thanks all.
:confused:

Andy,

If you want a lively night myself and three friends are also over playing golf and will be in Jags on Friday night to hopefully watch Forest beat Derby in the FA cup.:thumbsup:

Hi Tony,

I am at CE from Thursday to Sunday with 5 friends, playing Quinta Do Vale Thursday, El Rompido Friday, CE West Sat Morning and CE East Sat afternoon (against a CE 'Home' Team of six), so I hope our paths cross again. Already PM'd AndyS, and expect to see him.

We plan to be in Jags Sat night for a meal but may well pop in for a beer on Friday. Are you on the early Easyjet flight out of Gatwick tomorrow, by any chance?

With the new road bridge up river between El Granado and Pomarao due to open soon Beja will become our nearest airport. Faro will still be rather nearer for Esurians but at least Beja may open up some new route possibilities. The car parking might be cheaper too.

We walked over the new road bridge last week, along with dozens of Spaniards. The 12km road west from El Granado is now surfaced right up to the bridge but the bridge itself looks a couple more weeks from completion. No doubt there will be some appropriate celebrations when it does finally open! Prices in the bar at Pomarao are a bargain; white coffee 0,50€, decent glass of tinto 0,60€ and a 0.33cl bottle of Sagres 0,70€. Hope for the locals sake prices don't rocket once the bridge opens.

For me the 2 best tapas in town are Casa Vincente (Next to Santander - Probably a bit cold this time of year) or Quitapenna (not sure on spelling) opposite the El Choco. Or try Luis's place over the river!
