Re: Restaurants
Hi Jon,
I saw the smileys,
I agree it is nice to have choices that's why we like living here. we spend a lot of time driving between Spain and Portugal
Have you tried O Caseiro which is near Infante.
Menu Del Dia Mon-Fri 8e
The owner speaks English and we now know him so well he will even cook me something not even on the menu, I like his fish stews.

However we didnt know the owner spoke English... every time we are there we stumble about in ordering.
The staff there are really nice people, and always remember us. So its nice to go in there and feel welcome. Before they had a waitress that spoke French so we could discuss the menu.... but we've never got as close to the staff as you have. Well done! Great find and only about 15 mins from CE.
We all live in a great corner of the world... with LOTS of choices, and to have 2 countries on the doorstep - just makes it super special. I love telling friends that the closest resto to CE is in Portugal!!! Another country... (well it will continue to be so until Jag opens his resto.)
That is Luis' place in Monte Francisco - Maestro Romulo. Lunch menu 3 courses with wine 7.50!! Amazing - we go there every week because at that price its hard to cook at home!........
We are very fortunate!!

Hi Sue, its one of our favourites, and the reason we tried it was because there's always a lot of cars parked there and across the road.... always a good sign. Ive also recommended it on this forum before.

Re: Restaurants
We tried it once; wasn't bad but not particularly memorable - except they forgot to bring us the starters we ordered.
Lots of jollity ensued. 
Will have to give them another go.

No! I am sure he has paid his dues. However if you are on 3 phase like us thats 3x the chance of something going wrong. It did for us and they took 6mths to find someone had planted a tree through the cable just down the road!!!!

Re: Restaurants
Have you tried going into the Hotel Barcelo for lunch? We did last time we were there. Not sure if it was an out of season price but it was amazing value.
7euros each! self service buffet style 3 courses and self service wine too. Only slight problem! I think it was Spains answer to Saga and one needs to be a pensioner to fit in.

Re: Restaurants
After the wonderful meal at Calico Park yesterday we thought we check out the Barcelo. No way would they do us a lunch at €7 pp It was €15 each take it or leave it so we left. We are Saga qualified but that did not seem to count. It may just be that it is now summer here and we were a few days to late still there is always next year!
