It will be one of your surprises in Portugal. If you are not aware of the place - prepare to be surprised. The location is on the middle of the Gafanha (not a very turistic place) and when you park you see a typical local portuguese cafe. Do not go there.... but turn to the basement ("a cave"). As soon as you enter, you just moved into a different place. A Cave is thus an international-inspired restaurant, but with portuguese dishes. Food confection is quite good (surprisingly good), and the major issue is that some of the food materials could benefit from higher quality meats (they are good portuguese meats, but the confection would be worth better). The dishes for two are a good bet - and the wine list has very reasonable prices in some brands. Service is sympathetic and will make you feel welcomed. The cost-quality relation is very good as well, and you can expect a 20€ per person...
