    What a great little find. Welcoming staff. Typical Portuguese cuisine. Locals eat here. Very good value for money. The fish we had was delicious.

    This is not "haute cuisine". It's a simple restaurant with simple but satisfying food. The waiter who spoke great English was very nice and helpful. Food was ok for this type of restaurant and they didn't even charge us for the bread and olives. If you are in the area (why would you ?!?) It's a good choice.

    Very good and lovely traditional restaurant. Very friendly people who run the restaurant. The Portuguese Pinguim Steak is amazing. Parking nearby can be a challenge since it's in the center, but it's definitely worth the 'work'. The house wine is very good and the deserts as well are very special. Will definitely be back, totally recommend.
