What a gem of a restaurant! We savored the stingray in garlic olive oil (so rich and flavorful!) and the perfectly grilled dourada – simple, fresh, and utterly delicious. Portuguese cuisine never fails to impress!

The laid-back seaside vibe and quality seafood made this meal truly memorable. If you're in Olhão, don't miss this spot – pure Algarve magic on a plate!

‼️BRIEFLY ⭐⭐⭐⭐Second time here and still not dissatisfied.
They are mainly famous for the cataplana but they offer various sea dishes.

❗KEEP IN MIND: the restaurant is big enough and when is not a peak period you won't have problems eating there. If it is peak period you might have to reserve and sometimes you can only reserve by going on a list.

🍲 CATAPLANA 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Finishing it up is not an easy task but surely won't be because it is not good. The flavour is amazing and it's full of delicious
🔍 It's a traditional dish from Algarve, consisting in a stew of seafood. The ingredients depend on the cataplana you order but usually they will always come with onions and green peppers.

❗KEEP IN MIND: while the fish is boneless, the seafood has to be cleaned by yourself which for some could be a problem.

👎Waiting time to be served were a bit too long.

LOVE this place and its amazing food and service. We ate here twice during our stay and were not disappointed with the food or service. Meat and seafood options are both amazing. Traditional Portuguese dining by the water
