This is what I love about finding a place and being very surprised when it's excellent. We stood on the road and could see maybe 10 restaurants. So we went to the one we couldn't see. The place was really busy but we managed to get a table. Menu want massive or usual. We went for a sharing session. Veal carpaccio with rocket and parmesan. Caper dressing. Excellent. I think it needed salt but wifey disagreed. We had to get the burrata as it's a personal favourite. This was with honey and mustard which I found intriguing. And delicious. The anomaly of a choice was the truffle pasta. It was a side. It sounded too good so we got it. I think it was the best thing I ate in Portugal. Including Porto... We even shared a desert.

Sad experience I had to see my gf eating alone and not even sorry they were. After I asked for complaining book they didn’t had it available… avoid this...
Read moreI was actually excited to write this review for a well deserving restaurant! I absolutely loved this restaurant. I’d give it 10 stars if I could. The presentation was that of a very high end establishment. I had the seared tuna and my husband had the Portuguese steak. We also had the cheese board and the peanut butter dessert by recommendation of Miguel, I don’t normally order peanut butter desserts but that dessert was something else!!! The peanut butter was a fluffy but crunchy mousse with a sweet flaky shell. BUT THE TUNA!!! The portobello mushroom, filled with mashed potatoes and a creamy gravy, perfectly seared tuna topped with an amazing wasabi slaw (very light flavor) not overpowering. Hats of to the chefs and thank you Miguel for...
