1692 - Monchique

Sem muitas (quase nenhumas) opções para não andarmos muito quando estamos instalados na vila termal, é tentador e quase impossível não experimentar uma refeição buffet que custa 25€ por pessoa. O local, o ambiente (com música ao vivo) e o serviço muito profissional não compensam a comida nada de especial. Na noite em que jantámos eram sardinhas assadas (em chapa, secas) e também havia porco. Salvou a salada e os cogumelos recheados com espinafres. As sobremesas prometiam, mas só isso: promessa de um arroz doce sem ser doce e sem sabor.

Espaço agradável com esplanda. Nesta altura do verão tem noites temáticas com o menu e a animação musical a condizer.

We sat outside, which looked like the old village square. Service was attentive and friendly, present, despite a bit of a distance to the main restaurant. Food was prepared fresh and was very tasty. What we really enjoyed was the tranquil, peaceful atmosphere. How pleasant.

We had such a wonderful time at dinner here and then breakfast in the morning! The hard working staff really takes good care of you Dinner was great. Huge buffet of soup, fresh bread, marinated olives, charcuterie meats and cheeses, bacalau, creamy pork, grilled veggies, and rice. Beautifully laid out, and tasted amazing. Great value. Dessert and coffee was very delish! (Fudge brownies, fruit, and Delta espresso maker. The jazz pianist was fun and upbeat and was the perfect combo with our Monchique red wine ; The breaskfast buffet came with our room but didn’t disappoint. Again beautifully laid out, tons of options, tons of juices and drinks also. Thank you for the great experience!

Dined in the off-season during our stay at the hotel and we had such a pleasant experience! The three-course prix fixe menu was delicious and a great value. Good wine and port, and kind and attentive service. (Dinner was served inside the Pure Monchique Hotel building)
