“ You'll definitely leave feeling more than full. The sea bream, mixed salad, and potatoes were a phenomenal taste experience. And the dessert with fig and medronho is also an exciting change. Absolutely authentic service, too. Thank you! :) ”

“ Excellent traditional Portuguese cuisine. They have a daily set menu at a good price and the service is very good and fast. Julie, who is lovely and speaks Spanish, served us. The owner, who came out to greet us, is the one in the kitchen. We came to this restaurant three times during the week we were visiting the Algarve. ”

“ The service from the waiter was very, very good. The food was prepared with great care, and the result is reflected in the dish. The sangria was TOP! Quality/quantity/price, highly recommended. ”

“ The place advertises "Arroz de Lingueirao" (Claim Rice) as the dish of the day, but it took 40 minutes to arrive at the table! But it was delicious! In the end, the person who took the payment at the counter was very unfriendly, grumbling because we had spent "too little"! We were there for work, and if the food had come faster we would have had dessert!!! ”

“ A typical/classic restaurant you'll find in Portugal. The waiters were superb. The food was delicious. The perfect place to order grilled sardines (sardinhas assadas) at a good price. We ordered the seafood rice and it was a great choice. A generous amount of both rice and seafood. The seafood may not be top quality, but overall it was good; you can tell they cook with love. It has cilantro, which gives it a very nice touch. An important note for those who don't like cilantro. Summary of the experience: Welcome to Portugal! ”
