Re: Restaurants
Brilliant news that work has actually on hoyo. The very best of luck to all .
I am however slightly confused as to whether it’s a restaurant or a Sandwich Bar and what exactly is a gaming room are we talking pool tables and arcade games . Excuse my ignorance if I’m picking this up all wrong ?

Cant wait to spend some time at the terrace there.

Re: Restaurants
UPDATE ON O FORTE at Castro Marim. It seems that since Jon bxl was there in March they have dropped the buffet. Apparently not enough business / too much wasteage. Its still called a buffet resto on the menu but it isn't. I had sardines, - five tiny ones, OH had salmon- huge portion but undercooked, friends had a mixed grill for two. Presentation excellent but food average. Massive platter of starters /olives/bread seemed impressive but add it all up and its 21 euros. Sunday lunch came to 70 odd euros plus drinks. Not to be recommended at this point. Otherwise immaculately clean and pretty inside.

Re: Restaurants
Hi Jon as per my PM of 30/5 I was again in the area and went to Favela at 9:10pm last Tuesday. It was empty but we still ate, some of the food was past it's best but we still enjoyed it and it's price along with excellent service.
We wont be back for a while but hope to try Favela again but earlier in the evening.

I think now with hindsight (thanks) that perhaps A Favela is better (out of season) at weekends when there are more customers, a better turnover of fresher food. But as I mentioned in the first post I suggest that we pick up the non-hot items early as these can run out and not always replaced with the same.
Great that you had some good food, and of course A Chamine is a favourite of yours. You reminded me that its been ages since we went. Something we will rectify very soon!

Re: Restaurants
Just a reminder... The Ayamonte Tapas trail is on in June. With the footy dominating for me, I haven't tried any yet.
If anyone has had something memorable, please let us know

Re: Restaurants
The menu at the GC is quite limited but what there is seems very good. I had an excellent burger and the BH had chicken with pineapple both of which were very tasty and reasonable price.

Re: Restaurants
Glad you enjoyed it. After being disappointed by no food available at the GC on our last trip we decided to go last night. Arrived about 9.30 to be told food finished at 9pm!!! I just don’t get it, I’m in Spain where everyone eats late but apparently not at the GC!

Re: Restaurants
Credit where Due. We arrived at the golf club last night 8.15. Great service and a great burger served with a basket of tasty chips. We were also impressed with the Décor. We had the impression that the bar and restaurant has been rented out to a different team.?? over all Very pleased...

Re: Restaurants
Maybe it is being run basically for golfers so I doubt they will still be playing at that time of night. It could also be because there are not enough people wanting to eat there (could change next month when more people are on holiday). Lastly it could be that people prefer to go into Ayamonte or elsewhere for a meal ( I know we did when we lived there). Regards Bryony

I am so occupied with the footy that I haven't had much time to try it. When I do this this will on the top of the list!
