    Lovely restaurant with a quaint, charming décor and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The prices are reasonable, certainly not cheap, but fair for the quality offered and the wine selection is well priced too. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented with an elegant, high end touch, and full of flavour and excellent service from the staff. A great spot for a special or a relaxed evening out.

    Very tasty and good quality food from a menu based on traditional Portuguese dishes with a creative and modern twist. Lovely interior and welcoming and efficient staff made for a great evening - very happy to recommend this restaurant and we hope to return next time we are in Olhao

    The location is next to the station and is an old building that was converted to the restaurant. The choice of food is excellent with lots of local ingredients with twist. The serving staff even though very full were excellent.

    Very nice place in the old station Hal. Only a few guests on a Tuesday evening. Overall excellent food. The croquettes were delicious, Tuna and Swordfish as well The desserts also very nice. Service and food recommendation's could/ should be improved. A little drink from the house would make it even better for a next time visit.

    Beautiful restaurant in one of the old railway buildings. The food was really delicious. (Particularly the local cheese starter.) The house wine was good and service was fast and friendly. A great experience all round.

    Really nice little restaurant in the old railway station. Terrific octopus salad to start a really well cooked swordfish steak and a delicious homemade dessert. Very reasonably priced. Tables inside a little close together but would definitely come again

    Service was excellent. Food delicious and a varied menu to chose from. I had the pork cheeks which were very tasty . Well worth the extra 5 minutes walk

    Food was amazing. Service shockingly bad. Seated for 30mins before any drinks arrived. Forgot to deliver one starter. But tried to charge us. Then questioned us about us claiming not to receive it … hey ho.

    Based on high ratings we went to this restaurant. Some of the dishes were original others straightforward. None of them impressed us. The food lacked the subtleties we had expected from the raving reviews.

    The old railway station goods shed sympathetically converted into a restaurant with a contemporary vibe. Outstanding value for the quality of cuisine on offer. The croquant of Brie is a real revelation. Main courses offer new twists on Portuguese classics. A real find (plus you can watch the trains!)

    Lovey rustic interior. Great menu,all sounds delicious. Our choices of chorizo and brie to start, then pork cheeks and swordfish, were fantastic. Would definitely return and recommend.

    Lamentamos o sucedido, mas como é que tem a certeza que foi o camarão que lhe fez mal?

    My favorite restaurant in the Algarve. The hosts are always so welcoming and the food never fails to be of the highest standards. Thank you - we will be back next week for the prawns in garlic and orange and the octopus salad and…..

    The food was even better than expected - even with great reviews - , really fresh and tasty. We had mains and deserts, both came really quickly. The seating area was clean and nicely decorated. Our host (owner) and the waiter were friendly, spoke good English and helpful. Would definitely go back. We reserved for a Thursday night but there was no need, plenty of seats available. Overall reasonably priced.

    We have eaten in restaurants in the Eastern Algarve for the last 15 years and have to say this was one of the best we’ve found. Only disappointment was that it took us so long to find it ! Give it a try you won’t be disappointed excellent cuisine and service

    This is a really funky restaurant located at the train station. Looks a bit dodgy when you approach it, but don’t be fooled. It’s great. The food was wonderful- a small but well cooked menu that was interesting and varied. And a staff who were caring and lovely. We had a great time. I would certainly go back. Thanks

    They refurbished the old train station where now there is a tasteful, kind and caring restaurant. The waitress was precious, the owner nice and attentive, and the food was really good. I recommend it!
