Restaurante Joao de Deus

Good quality food, and plenty of it, service is great, helpful staff always available, puddings are to die for, often eat here as the experience is consistent and enjoyable

The coffee and cake part is Ok much like a hundred others, pleasant to sit outside in the morning. The restaurant used to be good but the food is very average to say the least and the management rude , they have become anti ex pats so be warned

3 of us called in for lunch yesterday to be approached by a man waving us away and telling us all the empty tables in the restaurant were reserved. There are 2 ways to deal with customers when your restaurant is full, this mans manner was both rude and agressive. A smile and a 'sorry ' would have meant we would have returned another day but due to his appaling attitude we will not return and would warn friends not to bother.

For many years we were good clients but last time it was disappointing.The sardines were deep frozen but the sparkling wine was still fresh.Having to drive, I asked the waiter if we could take the remaining home.No problem, but when we went to pay the bill, we had to pay another time the wine.If been drunken in the restaurant, it was included but underway we could have police inspection.This was our the last visit.The restaurant closed his doors now.

We go some times in the week for lunch. Every time the food is good. They have a prato de dia with choose of 3 different ones. The owners and staff are very friendly and helpfull to explain what is the daydish if necessary. Can advise this restaurant.
