We went here for my Dad’s 70th and had a fantastic experience. The food was exceptional, we shared a starter board. Three of us had fish and one had the chicken, followed by 3 deserts to share. Would 100% go back again! Service, food and ambience were great with an open kitchen with wood fired grill.

We came here spontaneously without a reservation for the last night of our Algarve trip, and it was fantastic. The food was extraordinary. I tried oysters for the first time here (they were delicious!), and the Octopus Paella was an absolute dream. Desserts were great too.
The service was extremely attentive and friendly throughout the evening. Highest recommendation!

So glad I booked here for my birthday dinner! Was so good, best decision I made for our stay in Tavira.....Such lovely staff and amazing food,wine & cocktails. It is popular for a reason, definitely need to reserve. We'll be back on our next trip to Tavira in the future.

Fabulous. Lovely bottle of the house white to accompany three excellent courses. Great service which was friendly and professional. Sword fish was the fish of the day. Cooked perfectly and melted in the mouth. The Basque cheesecake was superb. We had a couple of cocktails. Both excellent

Pleasant balcony and seamless service. Mirandese posture at the point, but accompanied by half a dozen small pieces of vegetables without any taste. Dry burdock ham and intragable oven rice (too dry on top and fat on the bottom). Reasonable pork prey, also accompanied by intragable oven rice (simil…

We arrived at the restaurant to be greeted by a staff member who said he would be back in a few minutes to get our drink order. He never came back. We then had to ask for our order to be taken. They took over 10 minutes to arrive. We then had to wait for someone else to order our food as different …

We also hade a great wine (Douro) Inside it's a very cozy environment and the wonderful staff spoke perfect English. The total cost was only 75 euro so we though it was incredi…

We had an amazing experience at this restaurant. We stayed in the area for 3 nights and dined here twice as it was so good. The staff are friendly and efficient. The food was divine- we had burger, steak and chicken and it was all cooked to absolute perfection. The wine was tasty and the chocolate…
