8.5/10Very good food in small family restaurant. The seafood stew was excellent, and the seafood itself was very fresh. The service was a little slow as a single server, I think the owner, was working the entire restaurant. But he was very friendly, made excellent recommendations, and made the dining experience wonderful and authentic. The restaurant had mostly locals in it, making it feel less touristy than the others in the area.

10/10Excellent menu from which to choose and each of the courses we chose were superb. The restaurant was busy but the staff and kitchen coped well and at the end of the evening we just had to go upstairs to get back to our Airbnb.

8.5/10Our waiter was very pleasant! We had the shrimp as a starter and it was great, very flavourful. I had the risotto and my husband the pork dish, both were amazing! I would definitely go back.

9.5/10The food was so delicious and fresh. The service was spot on at the start of the meal, but as the restaurant got busier it seemed to lag. This wouldn’t stop me from going back or recommending it, however.

Service was incredibly overwhelmed. They simply couldn’t keep up, and got orders incorrectly, forgot to bring things, and couldn’t do more than pause for 1 second before running off to the next table.

+3Definitely the best Portuguese restaurant I’ve tried in more than a decade. Absolutely delicious! From the starters to the deserts it was a blast, the tenderloin steak just melted in my mouth. If I could give 11/10 stars I would. Thank you!

I would have never come here if it wasn’t for the yums discount I had available (particularly because of its location in a very touristy part of town where it’s hard to park). But I have to say it was a pleasant surprise. I had the octopus with sweet potato mash and it was delicious. Very tender! The portion size was ok, but could be a little more generous. The service was friendly and attentive.

8/10Server may have been owner, but he handled a lot of tables. Overall, service ok. Octopus Salad excellent, pork chunks and clams, great sauce. Clams excellent. Pork a little dry.

7.5/10The service was very slow. We had to wait a long time for a table (even though we had a reservation). But the waiters were very nice. In the dining area, it smelled like a toilet (chlorine). That was strange. But the food was tasty.

Fine service, although our server was caring for the entire restaurant which was quite busy. Clams were very minuscule in a so/so preparation. However the grouper and the octopus were just great!

6.5/10Their litre of Sangria could have been accompanied with a handful of fruit especially when charging $19.00 Euro and the mussels were the smallest in size and portion I’ve ever ordered but the sauce was very tasty. A hit and miss experience.

We grabbed a last minute reservation here will catching the sunset at Miradouro das Portas do Sol. The atmosphere was relaxed and the servers were very kind and helpful. We shared a pitcher of sangria, had two delicious entrees, and two desserts! The cost was so reasonable and food worth it. We would definitely come back again!
