We were very surprised by the quality of the food here in what is advertised primarily as a cocktail bar.

We wanted a cataplana without rice and the waiter was more than happy to accommodate this request. The sardines were crispy on the outside and really delicious. Likewise, the cataplana was everything we'd expected and came in a rich, and flavoursome sauce.

All in all, this was a great dining experience and my partner and I would be very happy to eat here again.

Excellent service, by our waitress Tia (might have spelt that wrong), very attentive, especially with my husband's son who is autistic. The food was good, I'm a Sea Bass eater, so no faults. You can order a small or large lasagne. My husband had a chicken salad. The pictures say it all. Food came piping hot as expected. I swapped my boiled potatoes for rice.

I had a large fresh orange juice and the waitress brought the ice separately.

Not overally pricey either, for three people we paid €70 that included half of bottle of red wine.

Will more than likely go back before leaving Portugal. Worth the 5⭐.

Not sure where they geting bad reviews from. We had good experience every time. Very nice location.Lovely friendly staff. Young waiter remember us few nights later that we thought was very nice. Had food there few times and it was good quality and very tasty each time.

We had a fantastic New Year’s Eve dinner at Gavea tonight. We arrived last minute as a group of 14, and Mohamed accommodated us without hesitation, which genuinely saved our evening.

George then served us throughout the night and made us feel incredibly welcome and truly like part of the family. The atmosphere was friendly and vibrant, the food was great, and the service was warm and attentive from start to finish.

A brilliant night and a perfect way to end 2025. Highly recommended.

Fantastic. From waiting on to the food.
Don't understand other negative reviews as I've not experienced anything that's been said.
Lovely location. Lovely staff. Lovely tasting food. Steak cooked to perfection. We returned 3 times.
Don't need to say anymore.
Thanks 👍🏼

Food was awful. 2 of our party had chicken curry which honestly was no different from a £1 Iceland microwave curry (UK) and paid euro 16.55 each. We also had inedible salmon which was full of bones, Spag Bol which was dry and crusty. The service also had a lot to be desired. The best part of the me…

Had the deep fried hake and chips. Would have got nicer in a fast food venue. Fish was definitely not fresh and was of the frozen supermarket kind. Chips were rock hard. Will certainly not be back or recommending

A beautiful place to sit and eat on the water/ marina with great friendly service and not expensive. My wife had THE best (and probably the biggest) sea bass which was cooked to perfection without drying it out and was super-fresh as it didn’t taste or smell fishy (if that makes sense) My pizza was…

We were in this restaurant dining in Family. We request entry amêijoa and calamares. Main dish we ordered two cataplanes of seafood that were divine. Good service and nice location for family and friends. We'll be back
