    When we arrived the restaurant was very quiet, we didn’t need to worry the food was absolutely amazing, the lady who served the food was so nice and accommodating nothing was too much trouble i would without a doubt recommend this restaurant, we were a family of 5 and were all so happy with the experience

    Unfortunately this restaurant needs customers it’s a very nice place with excellent food with genuine owners / family that’s located too far from the main Albufeira catchment area.

    The restaurant is very simply laid out with nicely spaced tables and a quiet ambiance inside but you can also sit in the evening sun on the terrace which is right on the road. The food and drink is very reasonably priced and we enjoyed some fish dishes cooked in the Portuguese style. The food took a little while to come (since it is not pre-prepared) but we enjoyed some delicious local wine and a cover starter. It was worth the wait as we were presented with really tasty food: plenty of fresh local vegetables and perfectly done fish (sea bass) and squid. The service was helpful and attentive but not invasive. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The service was attentive and the room was clean and spacious. We especially recommend the CAMARÃO SALTEADO COM MOLHO SWEET-CHILI E GNOCCIS for starters. Although they are part of thefork they no longer accept yums as part payment.

    Fantastic food, star worthy actually. Only thing they can improve is the atmosphere. Some nice lights, a white cloth and plants on the tables would definitely help. But besides that, it exceeded my expectations by far! We'll be back.

    Nice restaurant in the middle of nowhere. I really disint appreciate the cousin because my plate and vegetables was full of butter and condiments. Also you can not put mushrooms sauce directly on a stirloin steak but you must serve on the side . Quality of the meat was not excellent in my opinion. Instead the rice and chicken of my father was good like the codfish of my mother (apart for the excess in the seasoning)

    The food was delicious. The restaurant doesn't get a 9 score because it took too long to serve the food. The restaurant seemed to be understaffed that day.
