Bar di Nôs Augusto

I don’t usually leave reviews but I felt I had to for this place. After eating at many of the top recommended restaurants on the island during my 2 week stay I can confirm this is the best place to eat to suit all preferences. Tasty fresh food, well prepared, very fair prices and good portions.

I had a recommendation from a local neighbour during my stay and even a local person sitting a few tables away shouted to us that “this was the best place to eat on the island”. The owner Augusto came to speak to us, he was very polite and welcoming, it’s clear he takes pride in his restaurant.

We ordered grilled chicken and fish which was so good we came back the next day for dinner.

The tuna tartar is very good, although when we went they were out of it, so we ordered other dishes. The chicken is very good, and the mixed grilled fish is also very good.

If you are in the area, I would recommend this restaurant - but I wouldn't go out of your way...

We have had a very good Chef’s fish (it was with coconut milk sauce, with mushrooms and bacon, and some vegetables). It was really interesting and tasty. Even my daughter which is a picky eater, liked it very much. On the other side, we have ordered a shrimp plat, which came as well very interesting and a really nice sauce (only the portion we found little - we would expect more shrimps, comparing to the other dish). And the price is really unbeatable, much cheaper and better food than in the heart of...
