Frommer's Review

On the Almacil to Vale do Lobo highway, this restaurant with its terrace and beautifully set tables is increasingly known for its excellent cuisine and refined service. The market-fresh specialties keep satisfied diners -- both expats living in the area and temporary visitors -- coming back for more. Whether you opt for the roast duck or the pepper steak (or our recommendation, the fresh fish) all your platters will be accompanied by the season's freshest and best vegetables. You should start your meal with a selection of cold starters -- none is better than the smoked swordfish with horseradish sauce -- or one of the hot starters, such as sautéed clams delicately flavored with coriander and seasoned with fresh lemon and olive oil. We've really liked the filet of pork with apple slices and honey, and the roast rack of lamb in a rosemary and mustard sauce. Desserts are old-fashioned; who knew places still made banana splits and peach melbas?
