The Jacaranda - Portimão

Friendly engaging hosts and staff, quality food and attentive friendly service at a value for money price. Been there before and will be there again. Consistently excellent

Very nice food, friendly owners and brilliant service! Definitely worth trying this place out. Good value for money as well.

We have eaten here three times and the service, the food and especially the desserts are incredible. It is full of locals, tourists and people from everywhere, the atmosphere is great and you feel at home even if you are traveling.

Came here based on previous reviews. It’s the best rated on the strip. Genuinely the worst meal I’ve ever had. Totally inedible. The menu is a confusing mix of international dishes: Indian, Italian, Chinese, Korean… that would’ve been alarm bells but I’d only seen the blackboard of specials which were all Portuguese dishes. We went for the grilled chicken and the fish fillet with tomato rice. The chicken I can only describe as over stewed to the point that the skin was limp and fatty and the flesh was akin to purée. The fish I imagine was a frozen battered fish. The batter was hard and thick and the little fish that was inside didn’t flake like normal. Again, it was more like mush. The rice, which initially came as plain white rice (should’ve kept this), tasted predominantly of tomato purée and red peppers, not in a nice way. The only saving grace of the dish, and the only bit I could stomach, was the plain salad. We let the kids finish their chicken nuggets and chips and went somewhere else for a real food. Avoid.

I had the Cheese burger and chips with a coffee!! Excellent and very well priced. Service was very good and friendly. 100% recommended
