A Chamine - Castro Marim

Don't eat well overcooked vegetables. Desserts Factory frozen food with sickeningly sweet syrup on top. Absolutely not recommended

This experience compared with our last visit was very disappointing. The staff were friendly but with the boss lady watching over them seemed to have any ownership of our overall experience. We ordered filet mignons neither of which were cooked as requested. My partner sent hers back twice and even at the third attempt it was not to her taste. There was no apology, contrition or even recognition of our unhappiness with the meal which just contributed to the feeling that “there are plenty more transient customers from where we came from”

We went there with two couples for dinner. The service was very good. The English speaking waiter was very attentive, helped with translations and suggestions. This was clearly the best part of the experience. The garlic shrimp as a starter were nothing special but with 12 Euro a bit pricy. The octopus and the baby calamari were also ok but we had those dishes at other restaurants in the area for much less. The tiramisu must have been prepared a while ago, it had dried out quite a bit. We liked the house wine. Overall a good evening but the pricing of the restaurant is at the upper limit for the standard regional food. You can definitely get better deals at local mall Portuguese restaurants (with a less famous and decorated chef).

Gratifying experience. Perfect service, combined with nice atmosphere on a busy lunch day. Good choice of seafood and meat dishes. Reasonable prices, good value for money. I ordered a small bottle of white wine this was very agreeable and not expensive at all.

What happen to this restaurant ? It used to be good but now they seems to buy the lowest quality of product. As à Chef you know that you cannot have a good meal without excellent products. Sorry to say the truth.
