7.5/10The ambiance was lovely and food was okay. The filet mignon we ordered was not a typical beef filet mignon, tasted more like pork tenderloin. The brownie dessert was delicious.

10/10Atmosphere, food and service are unbeatable here. We had great cheese on board starter and duck on rice as a main course, red Sangria as a drink. Service was nice and timely. Ambient music selection (jazz of Chad Baker and like) add romantic touch to perfectly cooked and assembled dishes. For desert we asked for melon (outside of the menu), and guys provided it no time. We travel thru Portugal for 8 days by now, had great restaurant experience in Lisboa, Algarve, Evora etc., but this place has bitten all great restaurants we had before!

7.5/10The restaurant was pretty easy to find, though it can be challenging to park outside because of the small streets and high affluence of people at th village. The food came pretty fast and it was good, but not excellent. The meat and fries were flavoured but the rice of the fish was a little bit tasteless. Not a lot os options for drink other than wine and also for dessert. We ordered lemonade that was really expensive since it tasted like lemon with lots of water. Nonetheless the restaurant is beautiful and really quiet.

10/10The ambience is exceptional. Food and service were fantastic but best of all our children sat quietly on the big green sofas reading books while waiting for the food to arrive!

7/10It’s a beautiful setting but the food was very hit and miss. The mushroom pie was excellent, the salmon tartare (though confusing due to so many conflicting flavours) was tasty, but then things rapidly went downhill. The wild boar was tough as leather, and the salted cod dish was 50% canned olives and therefore inedible. The waiter confirmed from the chef that it wasn’t supposed to be like that; we got an apology but no refund on the dish. Staff were pleasant and friendly, though, and the wine selection was good.

10/10It is like having dinner in a library, as promised by the name of the restaurant! The waiters are very kind and there are enough options for vegetarians.

9/10Great space and ambience, unusual too! Tables well apart in what you might say is a library. Food good portions good only two issues whilst one meal came with greens and vegetables the duck came only with special rice and some fried bread. the cheese cake was real solid - geletine added not good overall great food good wine selection too

5.5/10We ended up paying 30 euros for a dozen tiny croquettes. They charged us 4 euros for tap water and didn't tell us it would be charged.
