9.5/10The 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.

7/10Very 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.

10/10Beautiful 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.

9.5/10Really 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

6/10Food 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.

5/10Based 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.

10/10The 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!)

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

10/10The 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.

10/10We 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

6/10Confused and underwhelming. It aims at upmarket but then they do odd things, like make you use your starter cutlery for your main course. At one point, the waiter put his hand on my shoulder! They can't be bothered to bring the bill to you - you have to take yourself to the till to pay, like at a supermarket. The place was very quiet when we ate there, which did not help with atmosphere.

10/10This 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
