Came to town for some good lunch and to see the Castelo. This place has great feedback, so we decided to eat here. It was all full when we arrived, but after about 10-15mins a table got available outside where our Bulldog was welcome as well.
Staff/owner were all great and friendly.
And the food is some of the very best we've ever had in Portugal. Great Tapas and small plates, but with modern twists. High quality cuisine, brillant food.
We ordered some croquetas, made from chorizo sausages. Wonderful, nice meat with lots of flavour. Then we've had Bacalhau stew with curry. An unlikely combination, but perfectly done. A real pleasant surprise. And then we've had the tuna Ceviche. Perfectly fresh, nice tuna of high quality. Lots of onions (love it) and with mango. Altogether a perfect combination of flavours. Best Ceviche we've ever had. And we also had the Tapa with beef steak. And that was the most tender cut of beef we've had on this trip. A couple of glasses of wine also. Some red, some white.
It's really a perfect place to be and to eat. Enjoyed our lunch here very much. Next time in Portugal we will definitely be back in town, just to get some more...

I had the tuna curry which was the favourite of our group. Vegetarian dishes were excellent too. The desserts are all on display at the rear of the restaurant and were all outstanding. The service was excellent and the staff were very attentive. Excellent...
