Tavira Longue is a lovely place which offers something a little different to the many other…read morerestaurants and cafes you will find all over Tavira. It's open throughout the day and well into the wee small hours; hot food is only available during normal restaurant hours but you can get some cold tapas at most other times. If you are drinking or eating in the stylish elegant room, you also get the benefit of free Wi-Fi should you need to get online. After dropping in for a drink a few times during our mini break we decided to have a long, lazy lunch here on our final afternoon in Tavira. We arrived around 1pm to find the little terrace, situated a few buildings down from the Longue itself, fully occupied so we killed some time by visiting the nearby camera obscura. When we returned around 2pm the terrace was almost empty and we got a nice shady table right by the river. I should mention that this is not really a terrace as such, just a few tables and chairs which have been placed on what would appear to be a semi-public piece of ground between the road and the river wall. Having said that it is a lovely spot and sitting here you get perhaps the best views of the Roman bridge and the river Gilao. After a beer and a look at the short but well thought through tapas menu we kicked off by sharing a lovely crostini with fresh local cheese, tomato and avocado. By the time we had finished our crostini time was ticking on and our friendly waiter informed us that if we wanted any hot food we should order now. Well we did, so we cracked on with a plate of calamari. While this was not a patch on the dish we ate at the Brisa, it was pretty tasty but a little greasy. We followed it up with a very nice smoked salmon quiche and some salad. We also had a mixed cheese and meat sharing plate which keep us grazing away through the afternoon. Not too sure what we were drinking other than that is was a white wine I have a feeling it was a bottle of Planalto which would have cost around the 10 euro mark. When it finally came time to pay the bill it was very handy that they accepted credit cards, unlike a lot of other establishments in Tavira, as we were running low on euros and still needed to buy a bottle or two of port for the return to Blighty. All in all a very pleasant way to end our all too brief stay in Tavira.

Terrible service!! Waitress argued with me about a drink I…read morerequested. They have no concept of the customer is always right. I asked for a straight gin shaken over ice. Called it a martini.

It was watered down & definitely not the gin I ordered. I know the taste and was at all what I ordered. Never coming back. Girl had bird tattoos on her neck.

Being on holiday one usually wants to try different restaurants without a repeat, but we actually went to Wax more than once because it was so good. The most important part, the food, soooo good. The fried lulas were oh so crispy and fresh. The black pasta was extremely flavorful, and had so much smoked salmon and shrimp. And the shrimp and smoked salmon sandwich was out of this world! Also, they have an ice cream shop by the entrance with several delicious flavors and generous portions. Besides the amazing food, drinks were delicious, and ambiance was fabulous. Upstairs they have several tables right on the beach, what else could you ask for?

When everyone begins violently throwing up seven hours after dinner (4am thank you), and the single…read moreonly common denominator for the previous 24 hrs was who happened to have ordered smoothies at Wax, it's safe to say it was food poisoning. I'll save you the unsavory details, but this was the worst I have ever seen. And I've seen my share of bodily fluids. Not that this could have been classified as "fluid". The food was good and didn't seem to have any affect on anybody's stomach. The smoothies though.... :( That was not pretty, ladies and gentlemen. Also sad because Wax was located across the street from our beach house and they're the only restaurant who takes visa. But after hours of writhing in pain and sleeping on bathroom floors, no one was attempting Wax again. Air conditioning + free wifi + great service + nice modern decor.. this should have been a 4-5 star experience for a restaurant on the Ria Formosa. But I can't let it slide that they either made those smoothies with old dairy, unwashed fruit, unclean hands or an unclean surface.
