A Lota - Silves

Se gostas de qualidade e felizmente os preços não te afetam vem!!! Do melhor!!!

Very good food and service, just be careful when ordering. Most of the fish is sold per kilogram and some are quite heavy so the costs can rack up quickly. This is why one star lost, because we were anxious choosing. In the end we had a fixed price platter and confirmed the price was fixed when ordering. €4.50 for 1 litre of water was a bit of a liberty though. Not impressed by that. Dropping prices by a little would see this pretty restaurant packed with customers.

Comida boa, mas preço bem bem puxado.

Want to have a shared oysters plate with your partner in this place? Not today and not tomorrow. They won’t serve you, because their boss doesn’t want to see such clients since they have a ridiculous rule of ‘ at least one meal for one person’. Hope they will have to close this season, so a new friendly place could pop up there

We were looking for a good fish restaurant for dinner on a cold evening in January, when many restaurants were closed during the low season. For lack of choice, we picked this restaurant without checking its reputation. We knew we were taking a risk, but our experience was still worse than we had anticipated. To be fair, the fish (goldenbream) we ordered tasted fresh, and the accompanying vegetables and salad were healthy food. Nonetheless the fish by-kilo-price was obviously overpriced, especially considering the price level in Portugal. And the owner of the restaurant did not quote the price nor the weight of the fish. We were charged 80 euros for a fish of supposedly 1.35 kg. It turned out to be the most expensive dinner we had in Portugal in the past five years, and worse still we, like many other reviewers, felt scammed. We will not return, and not recommend it. We regret that we did not check the reviews posted by other people before entering this restaurant. Watch out for this restaurant!
