Very magnificent restaurant with a great service and one of the best food I've ever eaten. I highly recommend the boar stew and the dark chocolate ice (home made). I don't understand why this restaurant has such a bad review, the food was super delicious and the service is great, the food is not even expensive (20€ for meals that whould cost in other restaurant 60-90€). I would give the restaurant 10 stars but I can only give 5.

Highly recommend off the beaten path authentic português cuisine near Sagres and Lagos. We enjoyed peixe cataplana with nice wine options and dessert. The service was wonderful with a calming homey atmosphere.

Excellent food, every single dish we ordered was absolutely incredible. The restaurant was recommended by a waiter in Lagos and he was spot on to say the best cataplana in the Algarve. Beutiful traditional Portuguese style decor and cosy. Highly recommend

Paula the owner and waitress is absolutely amazing! She will do everything to enjoy yourself! Her husband leads the kitchen, which serves dishes you will not have anywhere else! For us it was an ad-hoc, but great choice for something special at a great atmosphere!

From the first moment everything was just right at Eira do Mel. For the starter we chose olives, hummus, grilled octopus and bread – absolutely round and simply beautifully presented. Our highlight followed with the chicken cataplana served with rice, which was fantastically aromatic and perfectly …

Referenced as an excellent restaurant we booked for dinner. We were the only ones. The boss had to be called because he was home! We asked for tuna, which we did not touch because it should have 30 days of freezer and the vulgar and refined camarao caril with a sauce of corn flour that they call xe…

The place itself is cute with background music. The atmosphere is more suitable for couples than families or groups of friends. The staff who run the place are friendly. However, the dishes are too elaborate and too seasoned, so as to mask the taste of meat and / or fish. In addition, the price is …
