Fresh fish and seafood restaurant with a view of the Marina! It's been serving clients for the past 30 years, so have the formula to keep one happy!
There were fresh oysters and tiny peixe rei, that are a delicacy, among other fresh options. Very good! Bit on the upper end of the cost scale.
Well worth the experience!

I would call this a hidden gem but it's been around for 30 years.
Tucked away on the top floor of an office building on the marina is the best fish restaurant in the area. The selection of fresh fish and seafood was amazing, including some lesser seen species and crowd favorits.

Cooking of our fish and prawns was second to none, presentation was also classy but simple.
Service was impeccable and the second floor view over the marina was fantastic

I can't recommend this restaurant enough. Lots of other restaurants in the area but these guys are a cut above the rest, I can see why they have been around for thirty years

We had a lovely lunch here a couple of days ago and we will definitely be back next time we are around.
The fish was absolutely delightful and fresh. We chose the piece we wanted from the counter display at the entrance. Difficult to choose but we finally went for seabass.
The restaurant is quiet with a very calm ambience and nice background music.
The staff (an Argentinian lady and an Indian guy) were exceptional and they were very professional and their recommendations were top notch!

Ambient, service and food was excellent. Only negative thing was that break between meals was too short. First we had vegetables souo. For starters we had octopus salad and prawns in garlic sauce. Main dish we had sea bream with vegerables and potatoes. For desert we had drunknoears with ice-cream and chocolate volcano with ice cream. All in all, great food, awesome staff and lovely ambient.

An old established restaurant serving fish the proper way, by weight.
Great choice on offer perhaps a little higher price than others.
Dining is smart and has good views over the marina.
Highly recommended

Bad service, with total lack of professionalism, especially by the employee who responded to our request during the dinner Saturday, June 4. When I asked how long it would take to complete my request, the answer was: "If you're in a hurry, don't come here." This was exactly the answer I received, …

In the context of a romantic evening we chose to dine in this restaurant since we already knew him and we liked the experience. However, this time we encountered a disorganization the entrance in which the model of care on arrival is to expect the front customers to make the order with the informat…
