Waitresses were really attentive and friendly. Johnny treats... More

A trip to Portugal isn't complete without a visit to Johnny Hoopers Saxophone Bistro. We went there to celebrate my brothers birthday. Fantastic to see Johnny again after 18 years. He hasn't changed. The meal was amazing, along with the atmosphere, and soulful music. My brother even got to sing Baker Street with the big man himself. A wonderful memory... More

Johnny, Sue and their team really know how to put on a fantastic night - live saxophone, superb food with large portions, music quiz and dancing late into the night. The Bistro attracts visitors of all ages. On Tuesday, there was a little girl of 5 yrs old through to people in their 70s. Audience was made up of Brits,... More

We went on the Tuesday evening and had such a great time that we went back on the Friday, had a good dance, and a throughly enjoyable evening - I... More

Our group was made up of three generations so ,having heard Johnny playing in the Square, we thought we would give it a try. Great decision ! Johnny's style is so inclusive that we all had a great night. The Bistro was packed - Canadians,Irish,Dutch and some Brits - all enjoying a fun night out. We went back for a... More

A shame we only found this place on our last night. It is great fun and they serve quality food too. There was a guy playing guitar at first, who was good, then Johnny took the stage! What a performer! It´s in his blood and by the end of the evening the whole place were on thier feet joining in... More

My Wife and I have just enjoyed another wonderful evening here (for my full observations of this supurb venue please read my previous review "WOW!!" posted 7th. October 2012). We were both fed up with the long British winter and decided to have a spring break.....we narrowed the choice down to two, either our favourite 'bolt hole' in France or... More
