This is one of the more upscale restaurants in Câmara do Lobos. We had a reservation for 4 for an early booking but still didn’t get one of the coveted window tables. There is a fish counter and you go there to choose your fish...and order it. I was with three companions who enjoy seafood, but I chose this restaurant because they had a few vegetarian options, something that is kind of hard to find in this area. My companions enjoyed their seafood.
Unfortunately, the vegetarian burger was not only merely adequate (I generally have low expectations in this scenario, but still), but the waiter seemed to be mocking me when he brought it to the table. He loudly repeated that he had a CHEESEBURGER, and when I indicated that yes, this was for me, he didn’t serve it, but laughed and loudly repeated that I had ordered a CHEESEBURGER three times. Now, I have no problem with what other people eat, and would not mock a meat eater. I am not a foodie and am generally just happy to have something I can eat when I am out with friends. This was very embarrassing for me, however.
I realize that I ordered a vegetarian dish at a fish restaurant, but they have it on the menu. It was literally why we chose this over other restaurants that do not have a vegetarian dish. I was so uncomfortable.
So, verdict is that this place is good if you enjoy seafood, but don’t come if you are a vegetarian. The other servers seemed fine.More
