Fun spot with the fishing town vibe. Drinks were decent but honestly the portion sizes felt small for what you pay. Good for a quick stop before dinner though.

Came for the jazz night. Music was loud enough to enjoy but not so much you couldn&#39;t talk. Food was solid across the board. Good spot if you&#39;re in the area and want something easy. Service was fine, nothing to complain about.

Fish and chips were solid. Chef clearly knows how to handle the fryer. Good spot to grab a pint and a bite. Nothing fancy, but it hit the spot. Maybe a bit busy around dinner time, but that&#39;s on me for showing up late.

Friendly enough place. Two mains, half litre of wine, dessert for &euro;28. Squid and fried fish were decent, nothing fancy but fair for the price.

Stopped by for a coffee and some ice cream &mdash; both were good, nothing crazy. The server was a bit cold though, like way friendlier with other tables. Kinda weird but whatever, the ice cream hit the spot.

Busy spot, mostly locals. Sardines were solid, veg cooked right. Staff managed to help us out despite the language thing.

Stopped by late afternoon when most places were winding down. Staff still friendly, didn&#39;t rush us. View from the terrace is solid. Had a quick bite and coffee, hit the spot. Not fancy, but decent for a lazy stop.

Stopped here for a quick drink after walking along the seafront. The view is really nice, you can just sit and watch the beach. But the price for a small beer felt a bit steep, honestly. Fine for the location, but don&#39;t expect cheap. Maybe just get one and enjoy the scenery.

The tomato rice was a nice touch, and service stayed attentive without hovering. Solid spot for a casual meal.

Fish was fresh, portion sizes fair for the price. Staff kept checking on us, not in a pushy way. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area and want seafood without the tourist markup. Nothing fancy but it does the job. Maybe a bit loud inside when it gets busy, but whatever.

Stopped in for a quick lunch and grabbed a glass of white to go with the salmon. Fish was fresh, cooked just right. Staff kept checking in without hovering. Fair price for what you get. Solid choice if you&#39;re in the area and want something simple.

The homemade flan here is really good&mdash;smooth, not too sweet. Staff remembered me on my second visit, which was nice. Wish they had more veggie sides, but the main dishes felt fresh.

Hands down the best coffee I&#39;ve had in Olh&atilde;o. I stop here whenever I need a quiet break. The espresso was strong and came out fast. My only tiny complaint is the pastel de nata was a bit small for the price, but the coffee itself makes up for it.

Solid spot for a beer with a sea view. Outdoor seating&#39;s plentiful and right in the center. Prices fair. Staff honest&mdash;they flagged me down when I left change behind.

The picanha was really good, cooked just how I asked. I also tried the bacalhau, nice and flaky. Portions are big, I couldn&#39;t finish mine. Only thing is the service gets a bit slow when it&#39;s busy, but the food quality makes up for it. Fresh ingredients, you can tell.

Butter chicken was solid, really rich and creamy. Bhaji had a nice kick to them, not the usual boring side. Two of us ate with drinks for under 40&euro;, which felt fair for the portion size. Place was busy at lunch, but the food came out quick enough. I&#39;d swing by again if I&#39;m in the area.

Went three times during our stay, food stayed solid each visit. The Algarvian tuna was the standout, seafood mix good too. Just a heads up, the owner comes across a bit brusque, not rude exactly, just not overly warm. Didn&#39;t ruin anything for us, but I could see it bothering some people. Place itself is nothing fancy, but the food does the talking.

The terrace is the spot&mdash;castle view and way more space than inside. Cataplana was tasty and huge, fed three of us easily. Just watch out, the starters they bring out aren&rsquo;t free 😅

The veal stew was spot on, really tender. Prices are fair for the portion you get. Solid spot for Portuguese home cooking.

Solid traditional spot, the bacalhau was on point and prices felt fair. Staff swapped our table without fuss even though they were busy.

The curry prawns were honestly the highlight of my whole meal 🍤 so well seasoned and cooked perfectly. I came here with a couple of friends on a random weeknight and we kept grabbing bites off each other&#39;s plates. Place got a bit loud later but honestly didn&#39;t even care. Would come back just for that dish again.

The black pig skewer was the highlight&mdash;comes hanging and you slice it yourself. Wild boar stew was good too. House wine by the glass? Meh. Stick to the bottle list. Terrace view makes up for it.

The tuna dish was the highlight&mdash;perfectly seared, tender inside, salty in a way that worked. Presentation looked nice too, but honestly I just cared about the taste. Didn&#39;t love that they added the tip automatically to the bill. Felt a bit much. Still, that tuna alone makes me think about coming back.

The food and service were both amazing. The owner works directly on the floor which allowed us to trust in his recommendations based on food  dishes and wine of our preference.. would highly recommend this restaurant
