Ceiceira Tasting Lounge

The food is very average and slow in arriving after ordering. Definitely needs improving on. Staff are friendly and courteous.

Terrible service. Been here a few times and every time they are soooooooo slow with bringing orders. Unbelievable. Often they plain forget something, so you wait and wait and then think 'why bother'. Everything they do seems to be in slow motion. Place looks pretty though.

The restaurant is situated on a hill top and you have a wonderful view over Monchique from there. The waitress was absolutely lovely and did a great job. The food was generally good and tasty. However, there is one area where the restaurant has to improve: I ordered the "McnCheese" wich I have ordered numerous times in the US and other countries. When I dug into the delicious looking pot, I soon found out that they put crunchy (half-cooked) ONIONS in it. The whole thing tasted strongly of ONIONS. ONIONS DO NOT BELONG IN McnCheese! And if you do something like this, you have to specifically mention it on the menu! If I had read that there are onions in it, I would have never ordered it. So I just ate a spoonful of my main course. Similar with the desert. It said "waffles with ice cream", so I thought it would be a warm waffle. No, it was basically a crunchy cone in the shape of a bowl and the ice cream was served in it. It was basically the waffle container but not a fresh (belgium)waffle. Please be more specific on your menu!

The food had a very weird taste. The banana bread pudding didn't taste like banana and it was plated very badly. The salmon frittata was dry, but the salmon was very salty and wet. The staff was very nice though.

Located on a beautiful hillside with a breathtaking view of the Algarve this is the place to sample a wide range of delicious wines. A warm and friendly welcome awaits you with fantastic food to accompany the wine tasting. A must visit!
