Snack Bar Flor de Ipanema — Restaurant in Figueira da Foz

It is a shame to give this bad review cause the waiter that initially took care of us seemed nice and he once came to say he was sorry for the kitchen being slow. The others kept serving other tables without caring. Would avoid the experience...
