May 2012...just back from Albufeira, great holiday enhanced by sitting listening to Johnny Hooper's cool Sax playing in the main square. Sat there and supped a cool drink in the sun whilst Johnny gave a glimpse of his talent. Convinced, we booked a Sunday meal to listen to whoever was going to be on as entertainment and we also booked... More

We chose the bistro because it was one of the few places in the area that catered for vegetarians beyond an omelette and pizza.

Great food and atmosphere. Met at the door and taken to our table by JOHNNY himself. Chats to everyone like he's known you forever, some he has as they've been going back year after year.

My husband called to book a table as we had read such great reviews on here about the atmosphere and food. When my husband called, no-one mentioned that there would be no entertainment that evening.We walked a fair distance to... More
