Paraiso do Algarve Restaurant

  • August 21, 2000
  • Rated 4 of 5 by Amanda from London
This is a good place for a family night out. It's a lively place, full of large cheerful groups, mainly Portuguese families. There weren't any rowdy drunken lads-nights-out here, which can be a problem on the coast, in some restaurants. The vegetable soup - served in every Algarve restaurant we visited - was again very good. There is a large selection of fish, all of it very fresh and well-cooked. The day we went, the choice included red mullet, eel, sardines, and hake. These species were identified by us - the waiter spoke pretty good English but not good enough to distinguish between different types of fish. Salted cod, a local speciality, is barbecued here and tastes great. Before it is cooked, it is soaked in water for many hours, to eliminate excessive saltiness. The only disappointing thing here is the desert - all pre-packaged Walls Ice creams, or a choice of two very over-sweet tarts. My advice at this place is to have a starter and main course, and skip pudding. The house wine was excellent, and the cost for 4 people was about £18, incl. 3 starters, 4 main courses, 2 deserts, 6 soft drinks and a bottle of house white wine. This represented very good value, we thought.
