    Third time eating at this restaurant, and again the staff are so welcoming, the food is excellent, the view of the marina in the afternoon sun is lovely. It’s only a step along the marina away from the hussle & bustle of the bars on the front but for me a more relaxed and enjoyable time can’t be had at this Portuguese Restaurant. Happy hour 3 to 5pm 🇵🇹 👍

    Great Portuguese restaurant on the Marina. We had a very enjoyable evening meal on Saturday. The staff are extremely friendly and polite, without being overly intrusive. We shared the prawns for starter and gluten free bread was provided. Mains of Octopus and the Portuguese Steak was fab lovely flavours. And the desserts were to die for. My compliments to the Chef & Waiters for a great experience 👍

    Staff and food are once again GREAT in a lovely location. Good selection on the menu and well priced even without the main course discount. Maybe just a shame more people don't go round the corner after the main parade of shops and restaurants which i hear some saying there's nothing there!!. Signage if allowed might help?
