Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It is a small tapas place, and they offer delicious vegetarian and vegan options and pair with excellent Portuguese wines and liquor! The owners, Hugo and Marina, husband and wife, speak fluent English and can recommend you the wine pairing based on the dishes selected....If you have a short time at Carvoeiro, do not miss this place!More

We really enjoyed last night at Le Cro - delicious food, excellent wine (great new wines available) and, as always, Marina and Hugo were great hosts. We are already looking forward to coming back in April and just hope that the ceviches, the braised sardine...and the trio for desert will stay on the menu!More

This cosy restaurant, with an outside covered terrace for warm evenings, has a well deserved reputation for interesting, beautifully presented food and excellent Portuguese wines . The charming ambience , which encourages guests to return time and again, is created by the friendly , but...professional, service provided by Le Cro's delightful owners , Marina and Hugo and their wonderful chef, Bruno. Do join the happy, ever-increasing band of Le Cro lovers . This is one restaurant you will always leave with a smile, especially if you have booked for another evening 😀More

I can’t recommend Le Cro highly enough. For anyone who loves excellent food and wine - a visit to Le Cro is a must. Marina and Hugo have perfected the art of pairing high quality local ingredients together with delicious wines, to create a feast...for your tastebuds. Their knowledge and passion for their craft is an utter delight. What more can I say - but go and experience it for yourself.More

Very interesting food - but mostly served on bread which is fine but price is high for this. Slightly over the top greeting from the owner!

Thank you for your feedback! We have only 4 items on bread on the menu, the 4 bruschettas :) Kind regards, Marina

What an amazing meal and experience ! The hosts were friendly and welcoming and committed to making sure we enjoyed our dinner. We especially loved the wine recommendations to accompany our menu choices and appreciated that we could have wine by the glass and thus...try a few different local wines . If you enjoy tapas , you will not be disappointed!More

Went back to Le Cro after my visit last year and again did not disappoint. Hugo was extremely helpful with wine selections and Portuguese wine history and Marina's pork ragu was amazing, as was their own version of Tiramisu. Restaurant is small tables (2's and...4's) and was a lovely atmosphere. Will go again the next time I am back in Carvoeiro, hopefully soon.More

We have been here a few times over the years and the food and wine are always excellent; highlights this time were the hake ceviche and the cheese and chorizo platter. Marina and Hugo are great hosts and deserve all the plaudits they get on...trip advisor; their enthusiasm is infectious! We’ll be back next year!More

We had a wonderful dinner here, great wine pairings to some lovey little tapas dishes. The owners personally served the table and were extremely warm and welcoming. Its a small restaurant with just a few tables, which makes for a warm and cozy atmosphere. We...would love to come back if we return to the area!More

Simple fresh homemade food to share - that's what the sign outside the restaurant says. The truth is that this mini restaurant delivers much more than what the sign says; if you really appreciate real and well prepared food, you’ll get it. They are truly...honest all the time. Actually, they are experts in what I like to say “over delivery”. Don’t go looking for a fancy night out or a luxurious restaurant set up. These guys know what they are doing and they only care for the important stuff that really matters: freshness, high quality local ingredients, comfort food, friendly/professional/available service, cozy/homie atmosphere, outstanding food+wine advice. Lovely chats 🙂 Not my first time here and certainly not the last. There’s a reason why their guests love them so much and become regulars. So much love you can feel it.More

Run by a lovely couple who are very welcoming and happy to explain all the dishes and accompanying wine. So good we ate there both nights we were in Carvoeiro. We had various dishes and all of them were delicious. Highly recommended.

Although getting to the end of the season the restaurant was nearly full and we just managed to squeeze in. In high season make sure you book. The restaurant is owned and run by Marina and Hugo who go out of their way to help...you make the right food and drink selections. Fairly limited menu, but the dishes we had were great. Interesting wine idea where you can only order a glass unless you want to take a bottle away. It actually works as you then get the wine to go with the food. Highly recommended and we will look to go back again.More

This is our favorite restaurant in Carvoeiro with great food in a relaxed atmosphere. Even though we love the food the best part of the dinner is to be welcomed and served by the lovely couple owning this gem. Hugo and Marina always give every...guest their full attention and make sure to give you a great experience. We always walk away with a big smile from Le Cro and this time was no exception.More

We first discovered Le Crô in September 2019 when we walked down Estrada do Farol and were lucky to get the last table. We immediately loved the atmosphere of the place and have been coming back ever since during our time in Carvoeiro, often with...friends and/or family. Marina and Hugo are great hosts, and food and wine have always been delicious.More
