Restaurante Manta Mar - Manta Rota

Não vale nem o problema, este é o pior restaurante em que estive nos últimos 20 anos. Pelo menos! Carne terrível de baixa qualidade, grelhada junto com peixe, então mesmo que esqueçam a má qualidade, o sabor é realmente ruim. Nem comemos metade do que foi servido. Melhor cair fora e ir para outro lugar.

O frango de churrasco estava seco e queimado, típico quando eles fazem de novo. Além disso, o karapau não estava bom.

Domingo às 18h, depois de voltar da praia, tentei pessoalmente reservar uma mesa para quatro pessoas para o jantar. No primeiro andar, uma senhora perguntou se poderíamos reservar uma mesa para as 20h. Agora, a surpresa: sem resposta disponível. Apenas uma mulher sentada no final da sala fumando um cigarro, virou a cabeça para a direita e depois para a esquerda novamente. Portanto, se quiserem ir a esse chamado restaurante, não precisam falar, apenas aprendam a entender as entrelinhas. Pior lugar em Manta Rota.

We came because of the great reviews here, but we left quite disappointed and not satisfied.Yes, the place looks nice and the service is indeed very friendly.However, the food took over 35min after order (grilled fish/meat and nothing that would justify such a delay). And what came was bland and tasteless and there was no cooking skill whatsoever involved either, like on a special diet in a hospital. A total lack of effort.3/5 because of the ambience & friendliness only.

I eat out, almost daily, here in the Algarve and very regularly in Manta Rota. Tonight was my first time to visit Restaurante Manta Mar, under it's new and spectacular management of Maria and her team. I was warmly welcomed into this oasis of tranquility in the centre of Manta Rota. The menu is varied and I was thrilled to find a choice of vegetarian options. I started with goat's cheese, drizzled with honey and fine herbs. I followed this with a Greek Salad, probably the best that I have ever had, including those that I have eaten in Greek restaurants. The accompanying yogurt-based sauce was fantastic. The quality of the presentation was first class. Worthy of a restaurant with much higher prices. I was also impressed with the wine selection and, in particular, with the choice of half-bottles. Not only that, the red wines were available at a selection of temperatures. I paid a few cents more than €20 for my food, a very nice half-bottle of red wine, lots and lots of water and a superb coffee to complete a most enjoyable experience. I must also mention that the background music was really good without being in the least bit overpowering. I will return, and often. Do yourself a favour and try it. Thank you Maria. Beijinhos
