"Lovely place with amazing food. We went 3 times for lunch at Cantina Jeri during our stay. The grilled see food for 2 pers was our favorite. The service was very good. Also the wine list is very impresive."

"Can’t stop thinking about the langostina pasta I ate here last week. Also had the risotto de camarão which was also really good. I almost don’t want to post about this place so it doesn’t get too popular. Took off a star because the food took a long time to come out. After probably 30 min after ordering, someone from the kitchen came over to tell me one of the main ingredients in the dish I ordered wasn’t available and suggested I change my order, which I did. Food was still worth the wait."

"We waited until our final night in Jeri to eat here because it was so highly recommended but unfortunately, it was the worst restaurant experience we had in Jeri. The service really lets this place down. We waited nearly 10 minutes to get a menu and after an hour of being in the restaurant we’d only had our starters (which was Bruschetta - a very simple dish of bread with tomatoes). Our server barely spoke or smiled, he always just responded with ‘mhmm’. There is lots to choose from the menu but we both agreed our prawn risotto was nothing special. It’s such a pretty restaurant, I was really disappointed we didn’t have a better experience"
