Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We found this little snack bar by accident, so glad we did. The chap that served us was lovely. We got 1 coffee
2 x 50cl water
1 omelette with chips and salad
1 ham roll
1 mediterranean salad
Absolutely delicious, the salad dressing was gorgeous. I totally recommend the snack bar. You can sit inside or outside under the sun shades, and it is a very good value for money. If it's open in October, we will definitely be visiting again 😊

Wanted a quick snack after a visit to loulé. Had to wait more than 1 hour for 2 ham/cheese toasts and 2 prego’s. Waitress excused telling they had a rush and had to handle several orders at the same time… almost walked away when our food arrived.

Great location in the shopping are of Loule.
The staff were really friendly, attentive and work very hard.
We had coffee, drinks and lunch. All were good value.
It took quite a while to come, but was made fresh in the kitchen so we didn't mind.
Would definitely recommend.

I've been coming here for years now and I must say that this little place is THE best in the Algarve. If you fancy a coffee and pastel del nata, you won't find better....and I've done my research.
The owner laughed when I told her how good they are...but her modesty hides the crispiest, fullest pastels, and the best coffee around.
What's more....€3 for a coffee and pastel del nata. What's not to like?

Found this gorgeous snack bar whilst walking in Loule. We ate 2 pastel de Nata and 2 galoa. Service was fab and the atmosphere is so quaint and local. You won’t be disappointed,they are busy but work hard to ensure you get a good visit. Will definitely return.

Having used this cafe many times before we choose it again , but the people & service you get had both changed .
We choose a table in the shade , it was cleared of plates & things but not cleaned for us . Food arrived looked old , chips were inedible which is really sad .
When my father asked if they were extended family to the old owners , I could overhear the man be very derogatory inside .
You have to be careful when using the toilets there is no handle to open the door to get out again, having disabilities myself
This made getting out of the toilet again really difficult

I had a caterpillar in my salad and I told the staff about it. They said they were sorry but didn’t do anything about it, which is sad. So no good experience.

Terrible staff, they missed one of the meals completely after being told three times and shown on the menu whilst being ordered. After complaining, instead of agreeing we were told that we were wrong by the owner himself, this place has such a promising location and has the potential to be amazing if not for the rude and incompetent staff, the food was also average. Will be sure to never go again.

Beautifully located in the centre Loule, unfortunately greeted to confused staff who wrote down our orders incorrectly, then when the food came out, one of the main dishes was not there, once we asked where the dish was we were all told that it was not ordered, and that we lied about it. The owner then came out to deal with it, and he was extremely rude and gave us no alternative option. Such a shame as the place has great opportunity, but is run by incompetent staff.

My husband and I had lunch here, drawn by the fact there were locals rather than tourists eating there. We were warmly welcomed and the food arrived quickly and freshly cooked. We sat inside as it was a bit breezy outside and enjoyed the cosy atmosphere. My husband had the daily special which was bacalhau spiritual ( spiritual cod fish) he said it was delicious. The service and the food couldn’t be faulted. The toilets were spotlessly clean which is always a bonus. Thanks folks for a lovely lunch.

Walked upon this restaurant as outdoor sign showed Fish & Chips at 6.95E. The Kale fish was delicious and had a crunchy coating. The fries were really good and the salad was delicious.

We found this gem on the main pedestrianised shopping street and decided to stop for a sandwich and coffee. The service was fantastic and the food delicious. We sat outside enjoying the December sunshine and watching the world go by. The toilets were clean and the price of the food was very reasonable. Would definitely recommend this cafe
