Came for the tapas and stayed for the whole meal. &euro;20 per person felt fair for what you get &mdash; plates kept coming, plus a main and dessert. I liked that the vegetables tasted fresh, not just thrown in to fill the plate. Owner sang at the end, which was a nice touch. Maybe a bit busy for my taste, but I&rsquo;d go back.

Solid francesinha, sauce was rich and the cheese pulled just right. Staff got me in and out fast, perfect for a quick lunch. Coffee was meh but who cares when the main dish is this good.

The outside is nothing special, but inside it&#39;s actually quite cozy. Had the steak and veal &mdash; both were solid. Desserts hit the spot too. Fair price for what you get.

Came here with a couple of friends on a random weeknight and it was such a vibe. The live music was a nice touch, not too loud so we could still chat. Owner came over to say hi and his English is spot on, made ordering way easier. Only thing is it got a bit busy later, but honestly adds to the charm. Would come back for sure 😊

The grilled salmon was cooked just right, and the octopus too. Prices are fair for what you get. Service was friendly, nothing rushed. I liked that it wasn&#39;t noisy, easy to have a relaxed meal. My only small thing&mdash;the chairs could be a bit more comfortable, but honestly, I&#39;d still sit through a meal here again.

Stopped by for lunch &mdash; the place sits right in the old town, and that historic vibe carries through inside. Food&rsquo;s straightforward, nothing fancy, but it hits the spot. Staff were friendly enough. Portions could be a bit bigger for the price, but I left satisfied. Solid spot if you&rsquo;re nearby.

Been coming here for a while now. Food&#39;s still good, that&#39;s why I keep going back. Sunday though, man, you gotta be patient. Waited almost 40 minutes for a table. Place gets loud too, hard to hear the person across from you. But yeah, the food makes up for it. Consistent, which is rare.

Big plates, fair prices, sangria was solid. Got the grilled octopus, pretty good. Maybe a bit salty but fine for the price.

The tiramisu was the highlight for me&mdash;honestly better than ones I&#39;ve had in Italy. Staff were friendly too, especially Eliseu.

Food&rsquo;s been consistent every time I come here. That&rsquo;s why I keep coming back.

Beef tartare and crispy tuna were spot on. Fried ice and lemon cake finished it well. Main was decent but the meat needed a bit more salt.

Stopped here on a whim, no regrets. The cod fritters were solid, pernil was tender. Service kept it moving without hovering. Place was comfortable enough for a quick meal. Not cheap, but fair for what you get. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Really excellent food. Interesting and inventive dishes with great presentation. Service is very kind. The covered terrace looking over the river is pleasant

Shared a massive dinner with my husband for under 20 euros&mdash;that&#39;s solid value. English menu helped a lot. Staff were friendly too.

The cod here is legit. Tried the batas and bacalhau &agrave; bras &mdash; both were solid, no complaints. The homemade cheesecake was the surprise hit for me. Service was quick, which I appreciate during lunch. Place was busy but we got in and out fine. Would come back for that cheesecake alone.

Followed the waitress&#39;s suggestion and it paid off. Food was plentiful, everything well-prepared. Nothing fancy but the flavors were solid.

Great spot for a catch-up with friends! Food felt homemade and the owner really runs the show solo, just expect a little wait. 😊

The pastry was properly flaky and crisp, filling could&rsquo;ve been more generous but the flavor was there. Solid bite of Chaves without breaking the bank.

The tropical cocktail looked nothing like the photo, kinda disappointing. But my crepe was fresh and tasty, and service was quick. Clean bathroom too, which is always a plus.

Sushi was pretty good, fresh and the noritacos were a nice touch. The burning sophias were decent too. Place gets busy, so it&#39;s not super quiet, but I&#39;d go back.

Been coming here for a while now, pizzas are always solid and big enough to fill you up. Five of us ate for 74 euros, that&#39;s fair for what you get. Staff&#39;s friendly too. Just remember they only take cash, which caught me off guard the first time. Still, it&#39;s my go-to spot when I want a proper pizza without breaking the bank.
