This restaurant is located on the rocks slightly overhanging the beach, so the view is breathtaking anytime of the day and especially at sunset. They don't take bookings because of the success of the place. From June to September, it's always full! We visited four times in the space of 6 weeks. This is a family run business, the service is warm and friendly but the place can get a little loud. However, we loved every minute of it! All staff speak good English and make you feel at ease. We started with clams, Spanish style mussels and had the octopus and a steak, both as main courses. We washed it down with some "vinho verde" (green wine). All were very tasty and I particularly loved the octopus! One thing to know though is to make sure to be very specific with your order as if you leave the boss recommends items for you, he always picks the most expensive ones ;p We will visit again...

Great place with a beautiful view to the beach. Although being a restaurant on the beach, the variety of fish is not great, there are standard ones, but the daily menus are good. On the other hand, the wine list is very good, including additional details about the wines, definitely a plus.

Great Restaurant overlooking the beach. Great fresh grilled fish for 10 to 12 euro... A must stop if driving by....

Every time a hit! Cute beach restaurant with super nice staff, great food and beautiful view.

Top notch location & setup. Kudos to the team for running a very tasty, friendly and fast -good!- food service over all these years in such a remarkable spot.

This is our to go place for lunch, dinner at the Santa Rita beach. Has a selection of wines, octopus salad and tasty sides & main dishes - all enjoyed on the first line of the ocean.

Convenient menu including toasties, salad, cakes, beer and wines. Nice elevated view over the beach, with shelter from the sun. Friendly staff and good amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Perfect for a beach lunch without spending too much money.

Amazing location, directly on the stunning beach. Good service and nice food. We did not wait long to get inside and had a table with view over the beach. The grilled fish was very good, the picanha (steak) was everything it should be. Was well worth the stop on the road

OMG view! Great menu, especially the soup and burger. Wonderful, thoughtful staff!

We’ve ordered cappuccino and it was the worst coffee I’ve ever had! More over, you can’t pay by card if your order is less than 5Euro!! Coffee tasted like water with the smell of coffee.

Perfect spot

Unbelievable amazing octopus! Fair prices, staff very friendly, view is more that 5 stars. We will be back for this octopus always when we can.

Fast service and fantastic confort food. Good value for the money.

Great service! Good food!

One of my favorite places!! The view is amazing , the food is just wonderful and the staff is so friendly 😊 I love having my morning coffee contemplating the ocean and savoring the amazing pastries and the best bread ever!! Dinner is also a fabulous experience as you enjoy the food and watch the sunset. Go visit them. You will love it!!!
