    I’ve been there several times. The food is excellent, the ambience also very nice. Owners are very welcoming

    The food was medium. We ordered the pork with the cabbage and cornbread, and also the cod cakes with bean rice. Both sides were good but the main failed to deliver. The starter we ordered - fried green beans - and the petit gateau for desert were ok. I don’t enjoy the hard selling on the starters being placed on the table without asking, also considering that those were a bit overpriced. However, what we least enjoyed was a quite heated and loud discussion between what it seemed to be the manager and a waiter, which killed the mood. No care for the customers on the room, very sad to witness. I don’t believe I will be returning.

    We have been here a couple of times and really like it. It has great Portuguese cuisine with a modern no-nonsense approach. The room is cosy and quiet and the price is right. They also have good proposals for wine.

    Service was great and interiors are cosy. Starters was good but only salad was great from main courses, the rest of them (three) don’t worth their price and few positions from dessert menu was not available.

    Gorgeous food excellent service. We went there two times and could enjoy both, the terrace and inside seating. Not very nice. Highly recommendable.

    my wife had tuna that she liked last time, and was pleased again. I made another (inumerous) attempt to fall in love with the bacalhau, and failed again. But at least it was probably the "best" bacalhau I had thus far had.

    A rather rare example of portuguese cusine that was givven some thought. Good taste, presentation, combination of ingridients and textures. Well done ! Reasonably priced too. Cozy place with a terrace on the roof in a quite zone. Will definitely come back.

    the restaurant is really nice and the food is very tasty. however the service wasn't that great. a lot of pressure for choosing the drinks and food, we were in big group, with foreigners, so it is normal that might take a while to explain everything and choose the food. the waiter was always rushing. not the great experience.

    I can only talk about what the 3 members of our family ate - the couple whom we had invited were polite and said their food was fine. Our son did enjoy his “ bochechas de porco” Both my husband and I had horrible Ox Tail. It had been deboned and the meat compressed into a sort of unpalatably dry hamburger. My “grelos salteados” had too much vinegar. The indoors room was hot but they were unable to adjust the Air Con temperature - every time they switched it on the room became freezing cold. Then someone would complain and when the Air Con was switched off the room would become too warm again. The wine list is pleasantly long and varied
