Known for his humor and friendliness, Fernando Mendes was full of praise for his host. “Congratulations Noélia Jerónimo for making people happy”, he added, in a clear reference to the relaxed atmosphere and the quality of the food that made the restaurant a must-see for anyone visiting Tavira.
The publication was made after the show “”, which the presenter has taken to various theaters across the country. Even with a busy schedule, Mendes showed that there are stops he can’t do without, and one of them is, without a doubt, the famous chef’s Algarve restaurant.
Noélia Jerónimo’s space has long been considered one of the best restaurants in the Algarve. Located next to the estuary, in Cabanas de Tavira, it combines traditional dishes with a contemporary and creative touch, being a constant presence on national gastronomic reference lists.
A relationship of friendship and admiration

On social media, the reaction from followers was immediate. Many highlighted the presenter’s affection for the region and local cuisine, praising his simple and accessible spirit. Others took the opportunity to leave comments about their own experiences at the restaurant.
Tavira in the heart of the Portuguese
Fernando Mendes’ gesture once again put Tavira and the Algarve restaurant industry in the spotlight. The city, known for its charm and heritage, has been increasingly sought after by public figures and visitors looking for authenticity and flavor.
With this visit, the presenter reinforces an old connection to the south of the country, where he usually spends holidays and participates in cultural events. For fans, it is further proof that Fernando Mendes remains faithful to his origins and his contact with people.
A mandatory stop for anyone visiting the Algarve
The restaurant Noelia has become, in recent years, a true calling card of Cabanas de Tavira. Its founder, Noélia Jerónimo, has been distinguished by several gastronomic critics and praised by renowned chefs, thanks to the way she transforms simple recipes into memorable experiences.
