Spikes - Av. do Mar 353
About Spikes
Spikes means Family
After the success of Le Jeroboam in Paris, it was time for Chef Maurice Belhaj and his wife Mrs. Fátima Belhaj to move to a new land, and the couple opened the Michelin-awarded restaurant La Place, in Vale do Lobo. After the successful experience, the couple decided to bring the family on board, and opened Spikes in 2003. That’s 17 years of history, and of continuous innovation to ensure the delivery of the best possible service. Their two sons (Alex and Kevin Belhaj) bring innovation and quality management, to allow the couple to have time to do what they do best – serve the best food.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A great place for a steak, salad, burger or beer (they also have good pizzas and desserts). My family eats here often. The service is very friendly and there is always a new special on the menu. They have both inside and outside seating.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Spikes is a popular, modern style sports bar within the VDL golf course development. The watering hole. The 19th course. It therefore fits the space as a place to quick sink beers or munch a sandwich between the front and back nine or after the 18th. However, Spikes has two main areas that stop it from being - in my view - deserving of the prime location.
First, the outside area desperately needs a face lift. Umbrellas are moulding, the decor is utilitarian. The inside is better than the outside, which does not make sense. People come to Portugal to sit outside. Give the people what they came for.
Second, the menu is confused and overpriced. Spikes’ menu reads like an international hotel that tries to please everyone aimlessly without focus.
A modern Portuguese menu celebrating local food with no more than five obvious international options (burger, pizza, pasta) is sufficient. Instead the menu is everywhere and nothing stands out. I have not any thing memorable for the right reasons.
Spikes could be great but it benefits solely from its location and therefore rests on that advantage. Competition would quickly show daylight between its average and where it could be great.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We were having our morning walk and decided do have a break and refreshment at Spikes.
Once we ask the bill we were informed that there was a minimum consumption of 10 euros and we were not able to pay by card, after being told to go and redraw money we found the ATM machine not working.
We apologiese and explained to the staff which for our surprise insisted we should pay twice as much to fulfill the minimum requirement. If we were informed ahead of time of this 'rule' we would have ordered to larger amount.
But the staff was extreamly rude to us and insisted of charging 10 euros for a bottle of water.
In the end after a long talk we were charged the amount consumed as well as told that management does not need clients like us and we won't be attended next time we come! That was a a shock to us and after this comment we asked to speak with the management and complaints book. None of this was provided.
It's such a pity to have a beautiful spot which such a terrible service.
This place is not worth your time.
