Warm welcome, was asked if we would like to sit inside or out. We shared the seafood rice which was delicious and full of shellfish.

Lunch time it was very quiet but also a very hot day. as we had our dog we sat out on the terrace. food and service was excellent. this is a yum redemption restaurant note you don't get prices in special board. I sugest stick to main menu to avoid any confusion.

The food was pretty good and so was the service. The price however, was a bit on the expensive side.

booked table for 10pm. arrived at 9.55pm to be told by rude waitress that the kitchen is closed. i explained that I booked the table through The Fork but that didn't help. I really don't recommend this place.

A small restaurant slightly off the beaten track which is a shame as we had a lovely meal there but hardly anyone else there, they need to have their own web site. Good service, nice outdoor seating.

We went to this restaurant for a light lunch. We both ordered omelettes, which were served with chips. The food was very tasty and we enjoyed dining outdoors in the pedestrianised street.

The discount of 50% was applied without any problems. The service was very good: they were kind and quick. They also offered us (we were 4 people) two types of traditional Portuguese cake, both very good.

We ate here three times, and enjoyed every bite. The €10 per head business lunch is excellent and very good value.
