Tasquinha da Paula

Reviewed By gtkelly

My wife and I had a late lunch/early dinner here on our 5th day in Tavira. In a quiet residential area of Tavira, this little restaurant is easily missed being small.A husband and wife duo present wonderful authentic cuisine from the Dao region of northern Portugal. Each dish has a story as has the gorgeous wine on offer. Only about 16 covers so best to book as only serving until 5pm each day.We booked to return again but had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances. We will make up for that loss when we return to Tavira.

We had a warm welcome from Leina and great food from Nelson.Everything was fresh and local and portions generous. The Moroccan lamb and the garlic prawns were our favourites. Prices are good for the quality of food offered. They were happy to adapt a few menu choices for me as I am coeliac and cannot eat gluten. We ate here twice and the quality was consistent both times. We would happily recommend this restaurant to anyone.

The Food Factory

Reviewed By PedroMig

This is definitely one of the best restaurants in Tavira. Slightly out of the main tourist area, just a short walk from Bishop's square.The dishes are really flavoursome and come in largish portions. I had chicken with ginger, coconut milk, raspberries and peaches - a really amazing combination of ingredients which work perfectly together. The house rose wine is excellent. There are tables inside and outside.

Ti Maria

Reviewed By Casbella

This little restaurant is tucked away in the streets of Tavira but well worth seeking out. We hadn't booked but they squeezed us in despite being busy. We eat a mix of vegetarian and seafood tapas and enjoyed them all.The portions are large so two each is probably enough, at least to start with. The restaurant is authentic and atmospheric. The service is good.Enjoyed it very much.

Come na Gaveta - GastroBar

Reviewed By JamesFentress

We wandered into this restaurant to ask directions, and ti seemed so interesting that we came back in the evening. We were very glad that we did. The menu is distinctly odd, basically tapas and snacks, but they turned out to be unusually good. They do all sorts of good things with tuna and bacalao, and an excellent little beef sandwich. We kept wanting to order more. They also had some good deserts. We were served by a couple of Angolan (I think) who couldnpt hve been friendlier or more eager. We will go back here next time.
