If you’re looking for a true traditional Portuguese experience, look no further. The food is excellent, every dish was so well-prepared, easily my favourite restaurant I visited during my trip here in Portugal!

Fresh fish and excellent vine.
Good atmosphere, but during the summer is better to book the table or arrive early :)

This is true Portuguese restaurant with fresh fish and simple ingredients! Red seabream was amazing with salad and bottle of wine! 💕 Don’t miss this gem!

Fabulous lunchtime experience. An undistinguished looking place, but obviously popular with the locals. Great fresh fish. Cooked and served brilliantly, without fuss or unnecessary fiddly items. The menu is what they have available that day. It was a treat.

Small restaurant with very well made food, predominantly fresh fish. The tuna steak (€14) was wonderful. Also came to the table a dose of sardines (€12.5), also very tasty. Finished the meal a delicious orange pie (€3) that crossed well with coffee. There is no multibank.

Yes. A tasca... It doesn't mean to be a chic restaurant.  Simple tables...  Towels with a lot of laundry... Immaculately clean loose... There are no tablets to take note of the request... The old and traditional block works perfectly Basket of bread and olives to get started... An impeccable tuna s…

Family-run restaurant, with good traditional Portuguese dishes at quite affordable prices. The Service was very satisfying, given that it was lunch time with a waiting list of about 40 minutes. I recommend this restaurant with casual Mood, good food at good prices and the sympathy of the house staf…
