They expect that you will want to relax and enjoy, and as such, they will not approach with the check for what as for is an uncomfortably long time. My biggest disappointment was the food. I felt that at the price point it should have been elevated, and it was not. Would I go again, yes, but I would not expect an elevated food experience this time.

As we wandered around downtown at the Albufeira we decided on the beach basket as my wife had seen…read moreit from the beach below during the day. If you think ahead try to get reservations for a seat overlooking the beach from above, we didn't but we were lucky enough to be seated outside so those facing it have a nice view of the ocean, I was the odd man out, what a nice dad I think you're thinking. The service was good although the waiter felt that he had to tell some sort of joke every time he came to the table which wasn't bad but by the end you realized that he was trying to make a joke every time he came to the table. I had the grilled fish, I believe it was golden bream, it was amazing but who doesn't like grilled fish. My daughters shared the Cataplana which was a hit. My wife's polvo was really good and cooked very well. On the "would I go back metre"? Yes but not before I picked through some of the other restaurants around town

Their involintini and shrimp spaghetti was really good as well, they all have an exquisite taste and just enough spice. The fried baby squid appetizer was probably my favourite with a squirt of lemon and some sauce. Although the street is a bit sketchy late in the nights, the waiters are extremely nice. I also tried the angry birds drink, it was made really well with fresh strawberries and a gradient colour. This restaurant is a must try in Lagos :)
