Restaurante Hortela Da Ribeira

Wish I'd read the reviews before we visited. Easily the worst meal out that I've had in a long time. Crab starter only tasted of mayonnaise and the mixed grill was tough and inedible.

We had the most terrible experince since we came to Porto Covo. The environment was very noisy and couldn't even speak to each other. Very bad food. They didn't respect the social distance rules,and 50% of capacity at the restaurant. We do not recomend! Go to another one.

The food was good. Meat dishes are okay, but the fish was really good. Typically portgugese food. The servant was nice and friendly.

Very bad food meals stink with old fish, we had 5 melas 4 of them very untasty, no payment with cards which nobody tells upront

Food is decent, nothing spectacular but a good dish of fish and glass of wine is easy to get in many places, including that one. The 4 of us went for lunch and restaurant has been busy, it was peak lunch time, but doesn’t justify the attitude of waiters. We waited for food for 1 hour 15 min while other tables that have arrived after us were being served before. Grilled fish arrived first, another grilled dish took 75min and waiters tried to explain it “takes time to grill” or simply walked away with no discernible answer after we asked at least 4-5 times. A couple of times food from other table tried to end up on ours-guess there is no clear system as to who serves which tables. Saw other tables waiting around us and being served the same-attitude. It’s ok to be busy, it’s ok to make mistakes but it’s not serving business well not to admit mistakes and never apologize for them
