Loved the ice cream selection &mdash; some really unique flavors. We only tried the ice cream but the crepes looked good too. Service was quick and the outdoor seating was a nice bonus.

The grilled octopus was spot on, and I found a really nice Portuguese red to go with it. Service was fast, maybe a touch too fast, but I won&#39;t complain. The place has that casual neighborhood feel, easy to just sit and have another glass. Good spot if you&#39;re in the area and want something simple and tasty.

Tried the sweet/normal/spicy menu guide here&mdash;owners know their stuff. Been through 30+ dishes, never disappointed. Outdoor seats have a decent sunset view.

The cookie mousse dessert really stood out&mdash;beautifully plated and delicious. Everything else we ordered was fresh too.

Been coming here for years now. The octopus is still the dish I keep going back for, always cooked right. House steak holds up too. Only thing is when it gets busy, the staff gets a bit overwhelmed and you wait longer than you&#39;d like. But I know that by now, so I just go early.

Stumbled on this family-run spot and honestly the wine list caught me off guard&mdash;some really interesting bottles you don&rsquo;t see everywhere. Service felt personal, like they actually remember who you are. Food was solid too, but the wine&rsquo;s the reason I&rsquo;d go back. Maybe a bit quiet for a Friday night, but that worked for me.

The chanfana here is proper&mdash;slow-cooked, falling off the bone. I paired it with a robust Douro red, which cut through the richness nicely. Bacalhau na broa was solid too, though the portions are almost too generous. Service gets a bit scattered when the place fills up, but they stay friendly. Would come back for the wine list alone.

Stopped by for a quick bite and ended up staring at the view the whole time. The building&rsquo;s cool, but the vineyards around it really steal the show. Food came out fast, which I appreciated. Nothing fancy, but it hit the spot for a lunch break. Wouldn&rsquo;t mind coming back just for that scenery again.

The starters from the round table are the real deal&mdash;plenty of tasty options and you can keep going back. Owner and crew were friendly, though I wish they had a better wine list to match the food.

Had the tiramisu here last night. Honestly, it&#39;s as good as any I&#39;ve had in Italy. Place was busy for a Tuesday, but we got a table right away. Service was fine, nothing fancy. Bill came to about what you&#39;d expect for the area. I&#39;ll probably come back when I&#39;m craving that dessert again.

Grabbed the shellfish platter for a quick lunch. Everything tasted fresh, no complaints there. Service was quick too, didn&#39;t have to wait around. Place was a bit busy but that&#39;s fine. Solid spot if you need a fast bite and don&#39;t want to mess around.

Food&#39;s consistent and service was quick even late at night. Solid straightforward burger spot, nothing fancy but does the job. 🍔

The grilled meat platter for two was plenty, honestly. We couldn&#39;t finish it all. Flavours felt proper Portuguese, not toned down for tourists. Bill came out fair for what we got. Only thing, the chairs are a bit hard, so by the end I was shifting around. But service was friendly and didn&#39;t rush us. I&#39;d go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The piri piri chicken here is consistently excellent &mdash; crispy, flavorful, and a great deal at around &euro;6 for a half chicken with sides. The garlicky chili sauce on the side is a standout.

Soup of the day was decent and the fried stuff hit the spot for what we paid. Service moved quick but yeah, it gets packed on weekends. Fine if you&#39;re not in a rush.

Decent spot for a casual meal. Portions are generous and the prices feel fair. I had the pork chops&mdash;pretty good, reminded me of home cooking. Nothing fancy, but it hit the spot. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Went for the chicken meal &mdash; came with fries, salad, dessert, and wine for about 20&euro;. Decent deal honestly. Portion was a bit small though, I&rsquo;d probably get a whole chicken next time. Nothing fancy but it filled me up.

This cozy restaurant had welcoming staff and some of the best grilled fish I&#39;ve ever had. I ordered the Dourada, it was simply prepared and accompanied by green beans, boiled potatoes and carrots. Just the way I like my food...simple without a lot of fuss. If the ingredients are fresh, you don&#39;t need a grand production.

The gelato here is seriously good, especially the chocolate and hazelnut. Bubble waffle was fluffy too, went well with it. Only thing is the seating gets a bit chaotic when it&#39;s busy, but that&#39;s fine if you&#39;re just grabbing a cone and walking.

Came on a Friday night, place was packed with live music outside. Staff kept it together pretty well, food took a bit but that&#39;s expected. Had the grilled fish, portion was solid for the price. Nothing fancy but it hit the spot.

Excellent food at fair prices. The service, given the level of the restaurant, could be improved&mdash;otherwise, it would have been a five-star experience. The starters are outstanding, and the Seabass rice is an absolute must-try. The dessert selection is also impressive

Been coming here for a while now, and the pumpkin fondant still gets me every time. That thing is properly good&mdash;sweet but not too much. Rest of the meal was solid too, service kept it easy. Place is a bit fancy for a Tuesday night, but that&#39;s on me.

Came back here again last week, still got the Francesinha. Sauce is consistent, that&rsquo;s what keeps me coming. Sangria was decent too, not too sweet. Menu in English helps when I bring friends who don&rsquo;t read Portuguese. Place gets busy around sunset, but we managed to grab a table. Not the cheapest, but you know what you&rsquo;re paying for.

Stopped by for a quick lunch and honestly the food was decent. Portion size surprised me though - for the price they charge, you get a good amount. The staff were friendly enough. Nothing fancy but it does the job if you&#39;re hungry and nearby.

Been coming here for years and they still remember my usual order. Staff actually treat you like a regular, not just another tourist passing through.

The steak came with chips and plain rice &mdash; nothing fancy, but the meat itself was fresh. Wine felt a bit overpriced though. Fine for a casual catch-up with friends, just don&#39;t expect anything special. 😊

The chanfana was so tender, falling apart in that rich wine sauce. Portion size caught me off guard, in a good way. Proper local cooking.

The grilled octopus here was properly charred and tender, not rubbery like most places. Paid around 15&euro; for the dish, which felt fair for the portion. Service was quick even though the place got busy around 8pm. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Had lunch here twice and honestly the veggie plates and the cod were the standouts. Catarina was super nice, made the whole thing feel easy. Place gets busy but it&#39;s worth figuring out. Just wish they had a bit more dessert variety, but that&#39;s me being picky. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area.
