Restaurante Vila Nova in Carvoeiro is widely praised for its high-quality food, particularly its fresh seafood and traditional Portuguese steak. With a strong 4.7-star rating, many guests highlight the excellence of the golden seabream and the superb selection of homemade cakes. The presentation of the dishes is frequently noted as being impressive and professional. However, the service experience appears to be polarized; while many find the staff welcoming and excellent, others have reported a strict and sometimes rigid approach to reservations. Some visitors without bookings were seated but reminded of their status throughout the meal, suggesting that planning ahead is essential. Overall, the restaurant is a top choice for those prioritizing culinary quality and authentic local flavors in a traditional setting.
