The food and wine at Cantarinha do Guadiana are excellent. We particularly like the Monkfish Rice with Prawns. The wine list is extensive. The service is professional, attentive but not bothersome. On a Sunday evening in October after a very stormy afternoon, the restaurant filled up but was quiet and relaxed.

stopped by for lunch during a day trip to vila real de santo antonio. we went during off season so it wasn’t very busy and were the only table sitting outside. felt like an authentic portuguese restaurant experience. server was not particularly warm but not offensive either. the food was good but not amazing - the clam rice was delicious but found the rice to be a bit hard for my liking. probably wouldn’t go out of my way to return to this restaurant.

The food was really pleasant but the service was terrible. We waited more than an hour to the food be ready. The wine was served hot and we order some beers first that arrived after. Overall experience was not good enough to compensate the really good food. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person €20–25 Food: 4 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 4

When we showed up, we were apparently early and should wait until they open which was like at 12:30pm. The surly waiter asked if we have reservations and we said no. Some other couples were also waiting outside. However, at 12:30 people started to arrive and they were all ushered in the restaurant. Maybe, they were all known to the waiters, they went straight indoors. It was just us waiting outside. We did get a table afterwards outside. Service is definitely beyond poor and the waiters are all sooo unfriendly. It seems that they only serve people that they know and not visitors like us even though we spoke some Portuguese. In addition, the prices of their food are quite high, you would think that you are eating in a restaurant in Brussels, Amsterdam, or Paris. If I thought that the cost of dining in VRSA is cheap, I soon changed my mind when I paid for lunch - over 70 euros for 4 people with just a dish each. The only redeeming factor is that the food is tasty although I think I got an allergy from eating their shrimps. So scratch that. I am not coming back nor am I recommending this place.

The food was excellent!! Razor clam rice was to die for. Local atmosphere, did not hear one foreigner, not a bad thing … but I love going somewhere local. Service and hospitality was non existent though. We could have literally walked out the door after our main meal and they probably would have only noticed about a half hour later. There was also a family with 4 young kids that I think easily waited 4ins for their food. As I said … not great device and it’s not even a weekend! Sorry the service was that bad that it brought your rating really low. But if you just want good food and have time. Go! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €50+

One of the best restaurants in the whole Algarve. Home made food with local ingredients elevated to its maximum. Staff and owner are very friendly. I recommend the fish soup made.with fish from the river, but anything from the menu is great. To end it all we are presented with a "medronho" firewater with compliments from the management :)

We waited for our food for two hours. After asking multiple times if and when it would arrive, we gave up and left. The waiters didn’t seem to be bothered about this situation and didn’t apologize. Seems like this happens on a regular basis… Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €25–30 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3
