In June 2023 enjoyed my meal immensely at this restaurant. This June I went back, and unfortunately while the ambience was still the same ie. lacklustre, both the taste and presentation were underwhelming. The service - as nice as out waitress was - unfortunately did not make up for the disappointment. I will not be going back in the summer.

An excellent Portuguese restaurant Went on evening of medieval fair in Silves and booked online as reviews were good We were a bit put out by the unappealing old fashioned pictures of menu on walls outside which would have normally stopped us going in if walking by . However everything was very good . Delicious simple tasty Portuguese food , grilled fish , meat , shellfish all very well cooked . Service very helpful and friendly , good wine list . Very reasonable prices

Made a reservation through The Fork app that wasn't considered. They kept complaining that they had few employees and i had to wait almost 45 minutes to get a table, even though some of them were about to be free, but the check wouldn't arrive on order to be paid. Too bad... Despite that, the food quality was pretty good.
