The food as always was outstanding. Sharing the experience with new friends was memorable.

Unfortunately one of the guests was quite ill after the lunch at Retiro and we do not think it could have been anything but a problem with the tuna stew

Fantastic neighbourhood restaurant which has been there many years Portuguese food but different to normal as offered game, goat and variois cuts of meat with delicious stews and enormous portions . It was a cold , wet day so this was perfect food . I took half my lamb stew home which was a generous dinner for my husband ! Tucked away so you need sat nav !

It’s one of our favourite restaurants, but there is just a tiny issue due a lack of staff and the new staff not speaking either Portuguese or English, which is of course not their fault but does create extra pressure on the main staff. The food, ambience and quality win out and one is always guaranteed a wonderful meal with friends.

Room was too cold. Pork was dry and overcooked. Will not return.

We love this place don’t get me wrong But amélioration can be done. The quality of the service can definitely be upgrade for this type of establishment Really nice people just bad service, missing order Long waiting Wine service after the main course arrived Chaos on the table, they did not take the empty plates. Need to stand up to go get more water or condiments A good formation is needed how to serves in a decent restaurant. Also you can up sale your table if this can be done properly . Voila

Authentic family-run Portuguese restaurant thronged with families enjoying Sunday lunch. Our order was taken by a senior staff member whose English was decent. But the food and follow up service was from non-English-speakers. So when problems arose- one of the 3 lamb chop orders was over cooked and the wrong potatoes arrived- we had difficulty in making ourselves understood. The guy who took the order and understood us was nowhere to be found when these issues arose. But the food was excellent: creative couverts, gorgeous succulent lamb chops, lovely veal, chips, salad… delicious food. Three deserts were very adequate. A lovely meal for €50pp with wine, beer and coffee.

Food and wine are of a good quality and the service and ambience are on point.

Great Portuguese traditional restaurant. Ambience is lovely with a big fireplace, The food is special, particularly the pork. It’s the best Portuguese restaurant I’ve been to. It is very difficult to find however- a sign in the road would be helpful

Beautiful evening by the fire and excellent food

Nice spot that seemed a bit out of the way. It wasn't a touristy place with lots of out of towners, but rather seemed like we we're "crashing" a party at someone's house. We'd definitely be back.
