Introduction - Algarve, Portugal - Who is Portuguese Jimmy???
eat with hands bro. like portuguese people
Thanks for the advice...will do next time lol
Hope Danny's exams went well!
Thanks for the comment, she thinks she did ok, so she finds out in August🤞
Welcome Dannii 😊 Be good for daddy Jimmy lol! 😆 Looking forward to Algarve's brand new dynamic duo! Have an amazing week my friends 🤗
Thanks for watching and your support!
@@AlgarveAppetite But of course Jimmy & you're welcome sir! You're giving me ideas on where to visit on my next trip to Algarve with your honest & description manner 😊
I don't know about that. I've had some good Piri Piri chicken, and I did not have to go to Portugal to get it, but then again, I live in the States.
Then come to Portugal and try some! Keep an eye on this channel as we will be doing some more reviews of restaurants that service Piri Piri Chicken. I bet you never had Piri Piri Chicken, Salad, French fries and two beers for 10 bucks!
@@AlgarveAppetite Yes I have but in the often overlooked part of Portugal known as the Azores. Specifically, Sao Miguel
@@mannywilliams6409 Would love to visit the Azores and Madeira with the channel. When we have a million subs, I would like to get a sail boat and sail across 🤪🤑😝
@@AlgarveAppetite That's funny because in the south eastern portion of my home state the majority of the Portuguese who live here are either from Madeira or Sao Miguel. My family is from Sao Miguel originally.
Omg food looks Delicious. What's the name of the Restaurant and where in Portugal is that????
Restaurante D Mestres, R. Castilho ou Areais, 8365-204 Pêra. It is about 15 minutes drive from Albufeira Well recommended
Happy birthday
Thanks !
Happy belated birthday!! 🎉
Thanks for letting me join you for a great lunch. Looking forward to our next filming with Algarve Dolphins Lovers at the end of this month 😊😎
Thanks for all your support Dave. I think this is a great video and looking forward to the next one when hopefully we will catch some fish and see some whales & dolphins...catchup with you soon!
Been there, its just great. A hidden gem. Parking is kind of hard.
I guess so, it is walking distance for us so not a problem!
Baba de camelo translate to camel drool
Does it?? Was this something I said or TH-cam automated translation?
@@AlgarveAppetite it s the portuguese name for that desert. Dont hask me why . It s one of my favorite deserts.
@@hugopote5635 oh thanks...sorry I missed the name when we were eating.. It was delicious. Stay tuned for more reviews and thanks for your support!
Cringe!
Thanks for watching and commenting🤑
loved it!
I am glad you enjoyed it
Love octopus its a delicate flavour
Agreed!!!!
We need to visit you !!
Yes you do ... most definitely.
Thanks Jimmy ☺ I'd not have complained at such a splendid meal cooked for me as it's rare that such a delight is presented to me! Bia is adorable (but in small doses)! 🤣 It goes to show the simplicity in preparing such a dish as I thought there was more to making it. By the way was that Zoomarine I could spot in the distance? Have a great weekend my friend 🤗
Hi Thanks for commenting... We are very close to Zoo Marine, but it is in the opposite direction and not viewable from my house. That is Waterpark near Alcantarilha... Aqualand??
Great review again. What a great looking restaurant and I will add it to my list!
Maybe Jimmy will treat you???
@@AlgarveAppetite that’s very kind! I am ready to be collected whenever 😂😎
Great video guys👌 love algarvian carrots and that chutney with the cheese looks superb 👌 and not to mention those soups, wow what a restaurant. We will definitely have to try it but with no camera. 😆❤🇵🇹🇵🇹
Sounds great...maybe we should have a meet up and a collaboration when we celebrate our first year on TH-cam??... We invite you to the best restaurant we have reviewed and you do the same?
@@AlgarveAppetite yeah let’s do it, 👌👍 keep up the good work. Tchau for now. 🥂🥂❤️❤️🇵🇹🇵🇹
Beautiful dog..but are you certain on her breed? Looks more like another Portuguese lgd ,her head,markings and coat colour.
No we are not certain of her breed. She was rescued and we got her from a friend when she was only 5 weeks old.
@@AlgarveAppetite suspect she is a Rafeiro de Alenteijo in that case ( not sure of the spelling) ,one of my favourite Portuguese breeds,but yes, a lot to train and tons of energy when not lying flat out in the shade, she's a beauty!
@@EmbracethechaosPortugal Best dog we have ever had and she has only just turned 1 (so crazy 90% of the time) she will be an amazing adult dog
Happy to be your first crazy person comment.. ketchup for me please 😂
Thanks for the comment...no thanks for the ketchup thou 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ooh how I miss lorne sausage ...you don't know these things til someone mentions it..don't forget a bit of proper black or white pudding..I'm searching for pinhead oatmeal for skirlie for next roast dinner 😉 ( popped over from Luke and Sarah offgrid)
Thanks for visiting our channel... We are very new with the first video May 1st... but am enjoying this TH-cam life.
@AlgarveAppetite we are new too..just trying to get to grips with the whole thing..your videos are very nicely put together,unlike ours...we can only learn 😀 it's fun working it all out.
@@EmbracethechaosPortugal Thanks I just subbed your channel 😘
@@AlgarveAppetite thankyou 😀
Thanks Jimmy ☺ I've always been squeamish about trying octopus & squid, probably due to depictions as a child of giant versions of them attacking ships & the like, plus the tentacles look horrific lol! 🤣 However I've tried calamari on two occasions now in Madeira due to fellow British TH-camr Carrie Patsalis savouring it in Bangladesh! You may have tempted me in trying polvo on my next visit to Portugal, so it's risen from 0% to 30%, but it's those darn tentacles putting me off! I almost half expected you to do a Mark Wiens face when you reacted to the flavours of the octopus dish! 😆 By the way all the best for Danni & you'll have to let us know how she did in a future video. Have a great weekend my friend & looking forward to the next one 🤗
I can not stress enough how much I was pleasantly surprised by octopus. It is NOTHING like I thought it would taste...when you come to Portugal I have another recommendation for Octopus in the Algarve (should be the next video)
@@AlgarveAppetite Thanks Jimmy 😊
Thanks Jimmy for an honest review ☺ It was lovely to see such happy & beautiful waiting staff such as Paula as that would entice me to dine in places like that alone! However I don't think I'd dine there with such high pricing as I love discovering culinary bargains, unless it was a special occasion & I'd expect the grub to be exceptional. Have a great week my friend 🤗
Hi thanks for the support and the comment. Ya..NoSolo was pricey for what it was, but perfectly acceptable apart from that. I agree Paula was a honey and a great waitress. I guess the price is as much to do with Villamoura Marina as NoSolo, I expect other restaurants are the same. We will need to go back and try some other restaurants to see. Stay tuned as we have some great reviews coming up !!
@@AlgarveAppetite Looking forward to them Jimmy & thanks ☺
Another great review Jimmy and good to see some balanced reviews. The food looked good but 70 Euros at lunch it has to be very good.
Thanks for the comment Dave... yes it was fine but pricey...
Nice to see such an unbiased video! The food looked amazing, and look at that view! Who wouldn't want to eat there!
Thank Conor
Run away!!!
Luckily for this guy Jimmy saved him from the house and release into the wild
Try Barbacoa in Almancil
Thanks for the suggestion I will add it to our list!!
Thanks Jimmy & Liam ☺ That's the one thing I love above Portugal, or maybe two, extremely good value & English is widely spoken! I actually drove through Armação de Pêra four times 2 & a half weeks ago & another restaurant stood out to me, Mr Naan which made me chuckle at its name! I didn't stop to try it though but know very little about the town, so thanks for the great intro in support of it. I don't eat enough sushi, I only pick it up if reduced to clear in my local Aldi as it's deemed a luxury dish in Ireland, so quite dear. Have a great week my friend & looking forward to the next one! 🤗
Thanks so much for the comment! I live near Armação de Pêra I have seen Mr Naan, but not tried it yet. We will pay a visit so stay tuned. Regarding Sushi, Matuya is great value... and yes I am amazed to see a small tray of stale sushi in the supermarket (it is the same in Portugal btw) for a tenner, when you can get all you can eat for under 20! Thanks for being a fan and please spread the word...this TH-cam game is hard work .. lol! But kind supportive comments make all the difference
Another great review Jimmy. I will definitely be trying the restaurant during one of my next stays so thanks for letting us know about it 😊😎
Thanks Dave, plenty on the menu that would suit folks who don't eat meat!
I was that guy who welcomed you and subscribed your channel. Thank you for beautiful video of our restaurant.
Hi That Guy :-) Of course I remember you and thanks so much for the comment. I am glad you liked our video, we had a great time at the Restaurant and will be back again soon (outside of work, it is a family favourite). I will also drop in some Algarve Appetite "merch" for you guys. We have baseball caps, stickers (reviewed by Algarve Appetite) and some pens.
One of my favourite places too, if anyone hasn't been Jimmy tells the truth! Go and see
Matuya is a real treat! 😃
Also Saffron in Praia da luz
We will check it out thanks for the tip!!!
great video ....best bits ... the construction noise ... Liam's professional advice ...hahaha restaurante i would like to see The Cockerel in Alburfeira
Glad you enjoyed the video!
great video Jimmy! Cheers your neighbors ✌🏼
thanks for the comment and I am glad you enjoyed it. I subbed your channel ;-) will check out you content!
Did you hire the model at the end?! Can't wait to get a free hat!
Thanks Jimmy ☺ I was at Ramires in nearby Guia a week ago & gave that a review for a future vlog, followed by some excellent coffee at O Cantinho do Joao around the corner!
Great and thanks for the comment. I am subscribe to your channel and will check out the video
@@AlgarveAppetite Thanks Jimmy ☺ It'll be up in a few weeks, but in the meantime my next video will feature a tasca food tour in Madeira, my favourite part of Portugal!
Another great review. Look forward to seeing the next one 😊
Thanks Dave, Middle of next week ... something totally different!
Maybe a Cataplana - Sagres great destination for it
Funny we had a Cataplana today...stay tuned for the video (will be a couple of weeks!)
Great stuff again, can't wait to see where you go next!!! 🎉
Outstanding meal ❤
Jimmy maybe you could add a photo of the menu & prices next time you review a restaurant in the future and also include the addresses to 😊 Good review tho 😊
We'l keep it in mind Mandy!
Thanks Jimmy ☺ You're video came up as a suggestion on my home tab & since I'm currently in Albufeira vlogging Algarve I thought I'd investigate further! Yes you have me 99% tempted to try Lara's Plaice later today so your plan may have worked lol! 😉 I might even vlog it for myself, comparing it to Irish fish & chips since they're quite different to what I grew up with in Chester, what with being based in Kilkenny, Ireland since I moved away from the UK many moons ago. Enjoy the rest of your weekend my friend & I've subscribed to you 🤗
I'm glad we've made an impression Rue! we're excited to see what you think of Lara's Plaice 🐟
A guy who doesnt drink alcohol is not believable.
Gotta be sensible on a weekday! 📖
Especially on a school night 😅
I think he's Scottish as well, i'm surprised he doesn't burst into flames drinking non alcoholic Beer
Good luck Jimmy & Fam, beautiful country we live in here 😊
Thanks for the comment!
Fantastic Plaice 🐟 one of our favourite places to eat, fabulous food, fabulous staff & Victoria & Nunu - well, as fabulous to 10/10
One of our favourites as well! Some of the best we've tasted 😀
Too right Jim/Jimmy 😂
Eating Brit food in Portugal! - you Brits are CRAZY!
Portuguese Jimmy makes sure to try all different sorts of cuisine, but a good fish and chips is a guilty pleasure 😀
