This place is amazing. ive been going to this restaurant for many years. They have gone upmarket with the furniture. The food hasnt changed, its still amazing. This restaurant is off the beaten track, but its our go to, whenever we are in Portugal. We always visit here. The prices have increased, but so totally worth it.

Two of us ordered Picanha, and two ordered pork and clams. the Picanha was so tough it was almost impossible to eat. The pork was very dry and also tough to chew. the food experience was very bad...we have been there several times before and haven't had any problems. we tried to talk with the chef to explain as I am sure they don't willingly want to serve such poor quality meat to other customers, but they wouldn't let us communicate. in fairness, they didn't charge us for the bad meals which is much appreciated. I am surprised that they don't have better quality control, as all the meat was like leather and it is something they could easily check in the kitchen.

This is a very traditional Portuguese restaurant- no frills. Great food, reasonably priced. But waiters not very friendly!

They seem to have a lot of new staff that were not as efficient as would be our usual expectation from previous visits. But they came through in the end and the food was excellent.

We were at a Family dinner and frequently go to this restaurant even in winter (low season). Food was good but service it was really bad. Employee throw the wine into the glass, some wine went through the glass and the table without cleaning, not even apologize!! they provide meet knifes and assume they should be used for starters, main meal, either if it is meat or fish. Nothing like this is acceptable in a restaurant with those average prices 25€ main meal. 32€/ person in average Unfortunately will not comeback again or recommend this place to friends.

2nd year/time coming to this restaurant. Great food quality (octopus, meat,…) efficient and kind service . Prices little high but not when in Algarve on summer, exception with desserts… really too small

We ve been going to this restaurant for years now. The food never disappoints but the service got so bad. There is no maitre d’. No one takes an interest in looking after the table. No trained wine waiter. New wine poured without being offered to be tasted. Also, the service is very slow

Quiet, cozy place tucked away in a small residential area. Also has a great outdoor space, will return for lunch to enjoy dining outdoors. Food is well prepared with their own unique recipes for the traditional pork cheeks and clams w/ pork dishes we had. French fries were perfectly crunchy and delicious. Prices are a bit higher than similar places, but the atmosphere is worth it.
