Lire plus We visited the sister restaurant Donna Maria recently. We are regular visitors to Carvoeiro visiting at least twice per year. Sansibar was one of our favourite restaurants. We assumed when we visited the renamed restaurant that the food and service would be of the same high standard. The restaurant was very quiet but it still took over one hour for our main courses to arrive. The food was bland and unappetising. The waiter who served us was very apologetic stating that it was the second chef that was on this evening. The restaurant manager spoke to us but he blamed us for our choices and really was not interested. We feel that this restaurant does not add to the high standard of food that we have come to appreciate in Carvoeiro. Suffice to say we will not be returning and will certainly warn our friends and family to do the same.

Sometimes you have to wait for a table but we have always found it's worth it. Dish of the day is always an option of meat or fish with a soup starter dessert and drink included in the price.

Personal super amable, raciones muy generosas y precios ajustados. Super recomendable tanto para desayunar como para almorzar. Lire plus Personal super amable, raciones muy generosas y precios ajustados. Super recomendable tanto para desayunar como para almorzar.

Lire plus We ordered secreto ibérico among others. it is usually a juicy meat, but in casa pilat it was extremely overhauled and hard. I said the waitress, and she said that's the one that's gone. I've often eaten secreto (I'm spanish), and I guarantee them it's not that. we also had an salate full of pimentón (it was not mentioned in the menu) and hardly meeresfruit. we've also got burritos older and they never arrived. the only good things were the croquetas and the coffee. I wouldn't recommend it.

Lire plus The restaurant and its proprietor both are charming. I especially enjoyed trying to decipher the odd word spoken in the local Portuguese dialect by the four gentlemen of a certain age at the next table. I also appreciated the Adega de Monção vinho verde tinto...(young red wine) which the proprietor brought in response to my request to try a red wine of the local region; and I was pleasantly surprised to be charged only five euros for the bottle. It was served to me not in a wine glass, but in a small ceramic bowl, of the size in which one might serve custard. At first, I thought the proprietor might be having a joke at the expense of this foreigner speaking poor and limited Portuguese. However, a few minutes later the said gentlemen of a certain age were served a similar wine in bowls of the same style. I ordered the dish described on the menu simply as lamb from the oven Its exact cut or mode of preparation didn't concern me when I ordered. What arrived was a very large portion of miscellaneous bits and pieces of lamb (along with the fried potatoes and green vegetable I'd asked for). The largest proportion of the bits and pieces by volume were roasted lamb neck bones. After trimming the inedible (such as the bone) from the meat, I'd only reduced the volume of the large portion of miscellaneous bits and pieces by about This did not seem like especially good value for a twelve euro plate of food. The lamb meat was tasty; however, the entire plate was terribly over salted. Yes, I know that the Portuguese like a lot of salt with their food. However the salt content of this plate of food was over the top. Still, there was a second protein in over abundance: tiny fruit flies. They plummeted themselves into the wine bowl like miniature kamakazis. The only thing to do was to ignore them and enjoy the taste of the wine. There were not a lot of diners. The gentlemen of a certain age all were eating a meal of bacalhau, which looked quite nice, and they seemed to be enjoying it. Should I return to Restaurante Cabral it will be for the atmosphere. But perhaps I just had the misfortune to order the one wrong dish on the menu.
