From the moment we arrived we were greeted with a warm welcome like we were old friends. Due to the weather we were sat inside and the restaurant is stylish, good lighting and comfortable. Our waitress was brilliant and looked after us well. All the staff were wonderful but she ran the restaurant with such care and calmness. The menu is simple. The waitress recommended combinations and helped us choose just enough. We heard the table next to us choose a combination of starters instead of a main. We had the Octopus Cataplana to share. It comes in a hot pan with a lid and it does not disappoint. Loaded with Octopus, clams, muscles, prawns and vegetables with the most delicious soupy sauce. The perfect sharing dish. Followed by a divine pistachio crème brûlée. We joked we would be back tomorrow and there is a high chance we will go back as it really was special food. Highly recommend this restaurant.

our server, Sofia, made our evening special with her kind and thoughtful attention and by making several excellent menu suggestions. We we did not regret ordering The Cataplana... it was the best we have had since coming to Portugal.

Wonderfully presented, creative dishes that the descriptions on the menu don’t do justice to. Would highly recommend.

Some really different options when it comes to the food and everything was really tasty. The service was also very friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend!

Was dining alone so got the table by the kitchen. Tried the shrimp pastel del nata, interesting idea and the shrimp lasagne which didn't work as a concept. it was sloppy and unappealing visually, didn't actually taste bad, just not a great dish. I was charged 3 euros for a bottle of tap water which meant no tip from me for dinner. Staff pleasant

The food was amazing we went with the recommendations. The shrimp tacos were delicious as was the shrimp lasagne but honestly it was all so good. The staff were really friendly and service was great. There was a nice buzzy atmosphere and we would definitely go back.

The food is always fantastic- flavours presentation choices. Wines are exceptional The atmosphere is a mixture of small tables or larger groups

My wife has always enjoyed the shrimp tacos here but the recipe seems to have changed and she found them vegan disappointing and not to her taste. The staff did apologise and offered an alternative but by then she had already earned most of it. My scallops were delicious and I enjoyed the seafood polenta although it could perhaps have done with some more seafood. Overall the meal was ok but not as good as previous visits.

Visited this restaurant in 2024 and it was so memorable that I looked forward to returning especially for the prawn with crispy bread starter. Have been back and the food was excellent and worth the wait. Look forward to my next visit.

Beautiful little restaurant on a side street in Ohalo with excellent service and food all based around ‘shrimps’ .
