As others before me have said, great service, great food albeit a simple menu - which for us Brits sometimes a homely meal is appreciated. Thank you and like I said, I'll be back with the better half when we both visit next time!

Owner was fabulous! He’s quite the character! He kept us laughing and when we were seated in the middle of the restaurant (only table open) he told us he’d move us to a better table once one opened- and he did. We were fine where we were, but it was so sweet of him.

He offered us a port wine sample, on the house, at the end of the meal- even left the bottle at the table!

I got the shrimp and chicken and it was so good. Fries yummy as well. My husband got the hake fish and chips. He’d never had hake fish before and it tasted just like cod. He was happy. Generous portion sizes.

Everyone in the restaurant was British. Owner is Dutch. Place was happening every time we walked past the restaurant and we knew we had to try it!

Best meal I’ve had in as long as I can remember. Been coming here for years, but this time I found my perfect meal!

The BEST garlic bread I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot), gorgeous tomato soup, a totally unique and moreish take on Piri piri chicken (Indonesian-inspired), followed by fresh strawberries, cream and ice cream.

As always, we had the perfect hosts who never fail to make us feel welcome, even though this was our first visit in 20 years without my mum.

Thank you for a lovely evening ❤️

The best garlic bread in the world, the biggest and tastiest fish and chips in the world, and the nicest owner in the world. Excellent dining experience 😘

I don’t write reviews often but this is worth it. This restaurant distinguishes itself with very good food, simple tasty and local. If you are in the area don’t miss it! Expect simple and you will be amazed by the local flavours and warm welcome. We had the tomato soup and the chicken piri piri cooked in a small crockpot, the fresh fish’n chips and fresh fish crockpot. Remember, simple but tasty. Thank you Sorav and the owners (and cheffe!) By the way, the cooking is done by the owner, even better.

Delicious food, super friendly service, relaxed atmosphere - nothing is too much trouble. Very reasonably priced. Must be the reason it's always full and booking ahead is a must. Thanks Team HAPPY'S

Do yourself a favour and book a table. Small restaurant with focus on flavoursome food. Friendly Dutch owner will chat but not impose. You gotta try the 1/2 chicken piri-piri which I went back for again. Meat skewers are another favourite. Great value too.

One of the best meals we had whilst in Carvoeiro. A very warm welcome and delicious food that was cooked to perfection. We are all real foodies and the chicken and prawn skewers went down well as did the peri peri chicken and ribs. The staff were very attentive throughout and the real testament …

Libbe is exactly the man that should work at a place called Happys becuse he was probably the best person we had met on this trip his demeanor and welcoming attitude reeled us in from the start. We had gotten the classic fish and chips which was good, the cod was cooked well, and the Cod "Algarve" …
