Above all, I must say everything went particularly smoothly until the last third of our dinner.
Despite of the fact that the food (Arroz de choco com gambas) was salty and pricey, which we did not complain in the beginning because we would have to wait another half an hour. In the end and has for after drinks, we ordered something common in Portugal called ''cortada'' (50% Beirao 50% whisky) , the waitress (who apparently also has some capital invested in the restaurant, I am pretty sure she was the manager), served us the way she ''knew'' but in the end she charged us for unit 1 full Beirao and 1 full Whisky per ''cortada'' asked for.

We were super embarrassed, and me as a super proud son of my mother, while I work in the Petrochemical sector in Rotterdam, I had to hear words like: '' If I had a mother like yours I would cut my wrists'' This is totally unacceptable, but this is what you can get when lower class people have the chance to open up restaurants in Portugal.

Read moreGreat food with affordable prices. Explained about my wife’s allergies and very accommodating.

Third day called to make reservations and lady who comes visiting our table to inquire on the food remembered me and what we ate the prior day. It does help that I speak Portuguese. Paying is in cash no charge card accepted. Remember that merchants get charged from 3 to 6% when using...
Read moreA very nice place in Sesimbra to eat some fresh grilled fish of outstanding quality and without having to wait too long. The food selection it quite OK. I recommend the grilled "espadarte" stake and definitely the swordfish (exquisite 👌). The quality of the stewed broccoli and potatoes was also great. The facilities are nothing fancy, but also OK. Last by not least, the waiter was extremely nice and helpful. I definitely recommend this place and will return next time I am...
