Don’t ever go as a family. The staff are not welcoming at all. If you’re with a group of friends, you might have an okay, but overpriced meal—nothing like the typical abundance and delight you find in Portugal.

Post edit: The gentle fado music on a summer evening lulls you into a feeling of life feels...
Read moreSuperb restaurant. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. Also very professional.
The food is to die for. A posta maronesa is super good. Some people came here only to eat it. 😜
Posta na pedra is a full experiment. A kid ate it and had a lot of fun doing it.
This is a restaurant that we will be very keen to come back to anytime. It's not super expensive either so you're able to comfortably take starters and desserts after. With that and a couple of bottles of wine our bill was lower than...
