Thank you for an awesome dinner with fantastic food and a very nice and kind service. The quality of the fish and the food was excellent! Your restaurant was recommended by local people. The best reference you can get. And we can 100% confirm the recommendation. 🙂👍🏻

Food is great! Absolutely worth it.
Restaurant is quite vanilla, no outstanding features and quite warm inside (outdoors would be even hotter as it was a lunch).
Service is subpar for the pricing... Took quite a while to get the menu and order drinks (on a hot day you should just be offered water right away..). It's not that staff was rude or anything but the food and pricing deserved a bit better...
Meal for 2. Marinated sardines starter, lemon rice, chilli cheesecake, bottle of wine, bottle of water, 2 coffees. Plenty of food (and then some!) as portions are very generous. €115.
Would recommend if you are in the area.

This was really good, it's very traditionally Portuguese. Whilst some of the dishes were not my thing, I had an Octopus stew that was totally amazing, very, very tasty, with all sorts of veg and potatoes and all washed down with some very, very good Portuguese red wine 🍷 😋
Simply fantastic, but I would book if I were you, as it gets very busy with local families and there was a lot of people getting turned away.
Highly recommended, great fun and a very lovely Portuguese atmosphere 😀

I visited the restaurant on two occasions, opting for the signature dish (corvina rice) on both. Excellent.
A repair for the excessive occupation of the esplanade, to the point of having to fix the tablecloth whenever someone walked around it, under penalty of it being dragged, as well as what was …

Sublime in its essence. In flavors. The aromas. The smiles. In the roughness of the algarvian words that hide unconditional love. And the tuna... or the lemon rice.
August 1st. I made a reservation. They accepted it unconditionally. No questions. Only with a very thank you. The usual table was wait…

I had high expectations. I was disappointed. The lemon rice, the strawberries were small calibre and Corvina in a minute amount. The shrimp entrance braseado nothing special and poorly served. Prices are high for what is served. I won't repeat.

What to say about the "food" of someone who has made, in the same place, for so many years magic in the kitchen, combining all their years of experience and traditional knowledge to the culinary skills that trace the "fine dining" and make us have exceptional tasty experiences. I strongly advise th…
