A ten minute drive from Tavira up the winding Cachopo Road and you arrive at the aptly named Bela Vista. It's better to phone the day before and order your food. There is a dish of the day which will be available if you just turn up. Very cheap and the best chips in the area! French and Portuguese speaking but limited English. Great place.

Fin de ce petit snack-restaurant après plusieurs décennies à accueillir les clients et à servir du poulet rôti. Dommage pour nous et merci pour tout

Wij waren hier vele malen en zijn steeds erg vriendelijk ontvangen. Jammer dat ze ermee stoppen. Het staat nu te koop. Hopelijk komt er een nieuwe even vriendelijke uitbater. De ligging met uitzicht is fenomenaal en het eten is prima en zeer voordelig. Best op voorhand reserveren en bestellen .
