Very friendly staff. Authentic feel with nice atmosphere, despite being surrounded by Irish bars. Food well prepared & tasty, although one of our group felt their Portuguese sausage starter, cooked over flame, was a little too charred. On our shortlist for a return visit.

Good Services combined with great food. Not easy for a restaurant when two adults appearing with 6 kids, aged from 5 to 9. All kids got full attention from the , I guess it was the owner, of the restaurant. We ordered no spaghetti to eat , that’s the favourite of the kids. They all got what the menu is offering . So - no special kids no menu . Recommend place to stay

A great restaurant where you are always welcomed with a friendly smile. The food is always impeccable and delicious. Can get really busy at popular times so always good to book in advance or go early.

Food was very tasty - fresh and cooked really well. Good menu choices too. We decided to start with a Courvet and Garlic Bread to eat, then a grilled Dorade (Golden Bream) with Potatoes & Salad, and a Pork Fillet with Port Wine Sauce, Chips & Salad - all delicious! Excellent service throughout and a brilliant ambience! Rooftop seating is highly recommended! A highly recommended restaurant if you wish for tradtional Algarvian food plus a good experience

From the second we walked in this place felt special. We were sat upstairs in the terrace,the place has a traditional feel to it,we were made instantly welcome,we started with garlic bread with cheese which was full of flavour,for mains I had the t-bone and my partner had sirloin Portuguese style,both were superb,and puddings were all home made,I had apple crumble which again was very good and my partner had a traditional Portuguese sweet,both came with ice cream and cream. Special mention has to go to Hugo who looked after us,who was very personable,he told us all about the origins of the wine and the history of the recipes,he engaged with us constantly through the night,and gave our visit a personal touch,we loved it and can’t rate it highly enough,a little gem of a restaurant 11/10

We made a reservation and could have been not more welcome from the time we arrived. After looking at other reviews we were not disappointed at all, great menu, great prices, great service from start to finish. We had 2 t bone steaks, prawn dish and lamb chops and every single dish was amazing, well done guys

The host is great and the food is good, but there can be a delay of about 45 mins at busy times. The food is typically Portuguese. If you want to eat on the roof terrace try booking ahead, but even if you do it might not mean you don’t have to wait, it’s very popular up there and they can’t tell how long people will linger
