Restaurante O Rafaiol in Carvoeiro is a hidden gem! With its cozy, traditional ambiance and its talented chef Raquel Marques, it is a must visit for anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience. The menu offers a variety of dishes, ranging from traditional Portuguese cuisine to more modern creations. The starters, mains and desserts are all beautifully presented and packed with flavour. From the truffle mushroom tortellini to the scallop risotto and the parfait with white chocolate and lavender ice cream, every dish is a delight to the taste buds. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the chef herself will come out to greet you and talk about her food. The wine list is also impressive, with a great selection of local wines to pair with your meal. All in all, Restaurante O Rafaiol is a wonderful place to enjoy a delicious meal and a great evening. Highly recommended!

Frozen food at ridiculous prices. The mains are disappointing, featuring tinned potatoes and chicken without any meat. Avoid this place at all costs. The staff are friendly but the owner clearly isn’t interested in service or quality wondering round. Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 1 Price per person: €50+

The suggestion that we serve tinned potatoes is simply false. Our potatoes are freshly prepared in our kitchen. And the claim that the chicken was served “without meat” is, quite frankly, difficult to take seriously.We are always prepared to accept genuine and constructive criticism. However, judging by the tone of this review, we can only wonder whether you were already annoyed or unhappy about something else and unfortunately chose to express that frustration through your comments about our food.Whatever the reason, making statements that simply do not reflect what was actually served is unfair to our restaurant and to the people who work hard in our kitchen every day.

We were booked into Taste (over the road) who provided appalling service and left us without a meal on our final day of our holiday. Luckily Restaurante O Rafaiol were able to accommodate us very quickly and boy, how lucky we were. Fantastic service, fantastic atmosphere and - hands down - one of the best steaks I've had in years. If you're in town, book a night here. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
