Very bad attitude at Elle and Ellas

[James Faro]

And to think this posting has attracted over 2,000 views!

Yes, but how much of this thread is actually about Ele & Ela, and how much is it about a whole load of other restaurants, personalities and chit chat ?

True, Richard - I take my hat off to you except I never wear one!

Elle&Ella is very good at what it does.
It has a hell of a lot of satisfied and returning customers

It is, by a country mile, the best "high end" restaurant in Carvoeiro , and deserves that reputation.

Bruce -I agree with you but suspect that they would rather that this topic had 'died'

[EMM]

It is a matter of opinion. I dont share the views of the last two posters. It is over hyped but still one of the better places.

.... I don't know about that Graham - how many of the 2000 or so "views" will give it a go just to see? - any publicity is good - particularly if its free!

[Graham]

Let's hope not -or I won't be able to get a table

[joanne]

Well, you all know it is my fav place, eat there twice last over the last 2 weeks and great both times, services and food...........Back again on sunday and will be back again a couple of times, think there will always be peoples fav places to go, and I do agree if you go in a lot whether it is right or wrong they do rely on winter customers so do tend to make more of a fuss, but to be fair this is in a lot of the Restaurants as other reviews have pointed out.

Give it a try, book in the busy times, and have a good time.

The 4 of us are off to ele and ela tonight for a last night blow out.
I dont expect anything but the usaul good food,wine and service in pleasant surroundings.

Ive just posted some other reviews of restos we have visited this week.

All in all it is difficult to have a nigtmare meal in CVO.We should be thankful for that.

[joanne]

Was in my fav place last week and there was a Baby in a High chair on the next Table. Food and service as good as ever, back next wed with my Cousin and oldest daughter before she of to university, so sure we will make a visit.

[Matryx]

I went half a dozen times over the summer, great food and no issues with the service

[shanagarry]

Wouldn't go anywhere near it - I don't like the look of it and those I know who have been were not impressed

[Bruce Wallis]

Come on Kimmy........I know a dignified silence is often best......but you and Harald have many friends and admirers here

Interestingly, having just spent the last 5 minutes re-reading this thread, there is clearly a majority who not only don't like the restaurant much, but will never darken its doors again.

A few who go there once every 3 years or so and a few who go there as often as they can.

I cannot be bothered to re-read this thread, but I suspect you mean "a majority of those who have posted here".

That majority accounts for less than 0.5% of the population of Carvoeiro in any one week.

If this were a "representative sample", I could be wrong, but once again it was packed out tonight and there were seats at various other (good) restaurants.

A variety of opinions makes interesting reading, but not facts.

It may have been packed but that is probably because it's not that big - in fact it is pretty cramped. I'll bet, through choice, more people go to Oasis.
