O Tapas - Reserva de mesa

Tapas is a well known restaurant in Monte Gordo. It has been famous for years and recommended by locals. However it is now completely outdated and overpriced regarding its quality. We ordered arroz de marisco for two persons, one of their specialties, and the only flavor present was the one of quick shellfish stock (Knorr). One of the worse shellfish rice I have ever eaten. The portions are generous but the flavor… completely awful. We also had a Sangria that had a weird taste, probably due to the poor wine that was used. In the end no coffee is served and the waiters have to make up for a lame excuse, trying to fool the paying customers. I still don’t understand why the owner want unsatisfi...

We 'd dined here some years ago, so decided to return for old time 's sake... Greeted by a bunch of swarthy, sweaty waiters more involved with shouting across the road to their mates who wanted to show us to a table inside the restaurant which was probably 35 Deg C , we chose to sit outside instead. A menu was plonked in front of us was no sooner followed by that age-old custom of the 'Couvert ': bread, sardine paste, butter, olives that taste like a tramps sock at a cost of 5 Euros. I can hack this because I 'm on holiday, etc... The meals were pretty good Both well grilled whole fish), served with potatoes of your choice a very fresh side salad, olive oil, balsamic vinegar. A couple of lar...

I know that everyone has their own opinion and I found this place awful. The service was very poor and when we sat down I was givin a menu and my husband wasnt. I didn't realise they did not sell tapas and asked for the tapas menu but was told it was just the name of the restaurant.The staff at front stood chatting and laughing and when we eventually had our food served to us it was cold. I had the pork and my husband had the fish. both meals were the same. It was not the most relaxing meal and I would certainly not be back. I feel Monte gordo does not have the best restaurants and we eventually went into nearby town of villa real San Antonio for dinner. Six euros in a taxi and you are in a...

We make sure we visit 'O Tapas ' as often as possible every time we visit this part of the Algarve. In the evenings, this place is always rammed, usually with a queue but don 't let that put you off as the wait is worth it. The best fresh seafood and fish. I am sure they have meat dishes on the menu but i have never tried them. They do not serve coffee, i guess that helps them turn the tables around more quickly. Its a noisy, busting, busy kind of place but the freshness and the quality of the food at reasonable prices makes it one of our local favourites. Reserva una mesa ahora

If you get lucky this can be nice restaurant, good value on the tourist menu, and most of the staff especially the more mature guys, are great. But this is a big but) it’s hit or miss. We’ve had some nice experiences here but also some of the worst, with less than average food and poor service. It’s worth trying for sure, but not reliable.

Sorry but really disappointed was expecting authentic meal. On arrival bread etc dumped on table as we sat down . Felt very pressurised to order straight away . Seems like high turnover selling job. Meal mediocre at best . Partner ordered kebab most inedible . Must do better lots of lovely restaurants in Monte Gordo

Chegámos a este restaurante por sugestão de um membro da família. Menu interessante com variedade, pratos bem servidos. no tempo de verão é apropriado para reservar a tabela. tinha atenção especial para a condição da refeição desde que havia uma mulher grávida na mesa. boa comida e preço agradável.
