Fri Dec 15 15:42:26 -0800 2006 11459 BJE 1 2109220 I've been to Tavira twice. Love the town, food there can be a mixed bag. My favorite place is Beira Rio, right on the riverfront. Not sure if it will be warm enough in March, but they have nice outdoor seating overlooking the river and the Roman bridge. Food is more carefully prepared than in most places. Mares and Imperial are also popular places. A popular local dish is tuna Tavirense, which is a tuna steak baked until it's gray and smothered with onions. Ehh, I was not impressed!

Really delicious, and a charming atmosphere. The servers were all Dutch and spoke both English and Portuguese. My husband was getting tired of Portuguese food and was thrilled to eat pizza. The prices are reasonable and they draw an international crowd. The have tables in front of the restaurant so that you can eat al fresco if you like. It's a popular spot, especially during the summertime, so get there early to get a table. Aquasul 13 Rua silva Garvalho Tavira tel: 081- 325166 Sat Jun 09 13:48:58 -0700 2007 2102454 104243 frankiesf
