Steve B.

Traditional Portuguese cafe restaurant filled with a mix of locals and tourists. The plastic red chairs sat on a large terrace beside a busy road disguise the great value food that this place serves up. Service is not exactly speedy but if you have spent anytime in Portugal then you will be prepared for that. Grab a server as soon as you catch their eye and place your order earlyI always go for fish and tonight picked the enormous rice with seafood served in a cast iron pot brimming with a mix of seafood and a tomato based broth. Great value at EUR11. Deserts are a steal if you opt for the homemade selection although the full range of pre packaged carte d'or frozen deserts are also on offer with a heftier price tag. Cream caramel at EUR1.50 was the pick. This will be a regular stop off point if we want to grab an early bite on our way back from the beach. Update 2014 - we are back in Lagos and have returned to this restaurant/bar several times - twice for dinner and other times just for a drink. It is still seriously good value - the seafood rice is still enormous - beer and wine ridiculously cheap. It's a good mix of locals and tourists and gets seriously busy if football is on the big screen. It's fairly close to Praia D' Ana and a great spot to retreat for a cooling beer. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Steak on the stone. So good. Sangria is quite good as well.

The steak on the stone does not disappoint. The sangria was quite good and well priced as well, a jug for 6 euros. We intend to go back for another steak on the stone before we leave town. Clearly a restaurant loved my locals!

Also we order the house steak which I was able to cook right at the table on a hot stone and was served with salad, rice and batas fritas.

Visiting Portugal and wanted a good burger. Walked by this place it appeared to have nice ambiance…read moreand a line of people waiting outside, so I figured it was probably a decent place. It is advertised as a steak house, and steak houses usually know how to cook their meat. I ordered the angus burger medium, the waiter even asked how I wanted it cooked. The burger arrived and it was a nasty looking gray color, the color of a burger that appeared to be steamed, rather than grilled. It was cooked was very week done. The bread appeared to be a two day old English muffin that was hard as a rock; they didn't even bother heat or grill the bun! Oh, and the bacon, oh the bacon, that was pretty much rare. Maybe they got the bacon and the burger mixed up! I wanted my burger medium and bacon crispy. The waiter never came by once to check to see how my meal was. I tried motioning him over numerous times, be he was clearly not paying attention. I finally got his attention almost 30 minutes later and he made up some crap about how medium is different in Portugal than other countries! Lmao. I worked in professionally kitchens for 15 years and the standards are the same across the board. Very bad service. Just because they are mostly serving tourists shouldn't equate to poor service and crappy food.

A great place to grab a steak on a stone (cook it yourself) while watching the drunk British people…read morewalking up and down the strip. The steak was perfect (well it should be as I cooked it). It is so much fun to have a hot stone placed in front of you and you get to sear your steak to perfection. I ordered a fillet and the cut of meat was just beautiful. For €22 the ability to cook table side and have a hot bite ready to melt in your mouth on demand is fun and yummy This delicious chunk of meat came with a baked potato and vegetables which I also tossed on the stone after I cooked my steak. The plate came with some dipping sauces and garlic butter. I asked for more garlic butter and cooked everything in it. It was so delicious and the wine list gives you many paring options, but being in Portugal even the house wine is amazing. This area albufera is not for the faint of heart. This is a crazy party zone so go early in the evening if you want some easy people watching and later in the evening if you want to see some really crazy antics. Service is fast and the waiters are attentive.

It had such an amazing vibe with it's rustic interior, soft candlelight and this amazing soundtrack of 40s and 50s jazz. I would pay handsomely to buy that soundtrack. Listening to Louis Armstrong, Billy Holiday, etc. while eating, always delicious, food was an experience to look forward to. Sadly the business was sold a few years back and as often happens the owners decided to make changes to an iconic establishment with a loyal clientele. The beautiful music has been replaced with loud disco and rock music and the once great food is not as good as it once was. To their credit they have kept the same menu. A bad meal or two can be forgiven as there can be problems with kitchen staff but the way they destroyed the ambiance, which was the cornerstone of the establishment, can not. I could hardly finish my meal with that music blasting. Back in the day it was difficult to get a reservation but now you can just walk in and get a table. It's easy to see why. Another great business ruined by new owners making "improvements ". Unhappily, I will not be returning.

I have seldom had more fun eating than at Fernandos Stone Steak house, in Carvoeiro, Portugal…read more Maybe it was the fact I was on holiday - maybe it was the company - maybe it was the freely flowing Portugese beer - but I didn't think that going to a restaurant and then essentially preparing and cooking your own dinner was going to be a barrel of laughs. But it was. It works like this: you are presented with a very hot stone slab, and some raw meat of your choice. The meat can also be prepared with various marinations and methods, but the underlying theme is that it's ready to be cooked. Add a dash of the sauce of your choice, a small amount of garlic butter to the slab (and watch in horror as the table is surrounded by acrid smoke) slice off a little meat, and get cooking. I chose the medley selection, consisting of chicken, pork and steak. All of the meat was fantastic - not an ounce of fat or gristle to be seen. The steak was wonderful - the very fact you could control each tender mouthful - one rare, the next well done, and then apply the sauce of your choice. There were 10 of us at the restaurant - and the waiters were open and friendly. For a while we tried to work out if the owner was German, but then, distracted by some fantastic garlic prawns, the topic was dropped. If you are holidaying in the area - it's worth making a trip to Carvoiero and Fernandos. The atmosphere was lovely, and you'll find your meat cooked to perfection.

What a wonderful way to enjoy a steak - cooked on a stone. The first bite was a perfectly cooked…read moreas the last and I don't how that's possible. Servers were attentive and friendly. We plan on going again before we leave.
