I went there 4 times in my lunch break alone or with company and every single time they are super slow. Everytime me and/or my colleagues saw with our own eyes that food is already ready to serve on the bar surface for at least about 10 minutes but I/we caught at least 1 waiter being on the phone many times instead of focusing on his job to bring the food the customers.

It's a couple of blocks from the beach, in case you are in Matosinhos for that. It can get a bit busy, in case you are in a hurry. It's our go-to place for a snack...
