The place itself is magnificent (see pictures). Quite an historical building in itself, and the restaurant itself has such beautiful tiles, they look like fabric, but they’re not. MAGNIFICENT!

But that and the couple next to us who were very nice are the only positive things about this place and that is why it is getting two stars, zero stars for everything else!

Food was barely edible, ate what I thought could still go in, but big mistake, got quite sick last night from the food I had at this place. The bread sticks were too burned, too oily and too hard! The main course (Carne de Porco à Alentejana), one of my favourite dishes in Portugal was super bland, no taste at all, even the pork did not taste like anything at all! The clams were very plasticky, smelly and tasteless. The fries… old.

My partner didn’t like his main course either, meat was overcooked, and there were more (old) fries than meat!

The place wasn’t even that clean! I found an empty Coke can under our table! And when I told them they just walked past me like it was nothing.

If you thought the food was the worst part, read further.

The service! Oh this bit… seriously the worst service I have ever witnessed in all this time as a reviewer! The one waiter (a woman with dark wavy hair) kept being quite rude to the guests, like they meant nothing and like they were giving her too much work. But wait, that’s not everything. She kept throwing the plates around, without or even when they had food on them! At some point she threw a plate full of soup quite harsh on the table and bits of the soup nearly went flying. Another time was when she brought the dishes to a table a little further to my right and nearly knocked the guest’s glass over.

It’s not only her, none of the staff are friendly!! NONE! No smiles, no kindness at all, they don’t show any passion in what they do!

If you want to come here, I recommend not to stay for food! Check the place out, take some nice pictures and leave.

Not coming back, and as I said already, do not recommend!
