Came back three times during our stay&mdash;the double breakfast is massive. Omelette with three eggs and plenty of add-ins. Could use a better coffee pairing though, the wine list at dinner looked more promising.

The grilled octopus was spot on, tender and smoky. Price matched the quality. Would eat it again.

The tomahawk was cooked exactly how I asked. Seasoning on point. Truffle mac &amp; cheese did the job too. Service got a bit slow later but whatever. Solid steak.

The service was really friendly and efficient. They kept our table tidy and made sure our drinks were topped up without hovering. Just the kind of low-key attention I appreciate.

The courtyard with the fountain and plants is what got me. Traditional decor, feels like you&#39;re actually somewhere. Food was solid, the wood-fire meat is the move. I had a nice red that held up against the smokiness, good pairing. Sides were a bit thin for what they charge, but the setting made up for it. Worth stopping in if you&#39;re nearby.

Grilled meats were solid, cheesy bread hit the spot. Service was quick and friendly. Good for a casual lunch stop.

The staff were really friendly and spoke a few languages, which made ordering easy. Food tasted fresh and the price felt fair. Way better than some of the tourist spots nearby.

The piri-piri chicken was spot on&mdash;crispy skin, proper heat, and the chips were solid. Nothing fancy about the place, but it does the job right.

Been coming here for years - still the best spot to catch a game. Those outdoor pool tables are a nice bonus.

Simple place near the airport, but the grilled fish was really fresh and well done. Prices felt fair for what you get. I&#39;d skip dessert next time though, nothing special.

Stumbled onto this place in Loul&eacute; and the crispy rice with tuna belly totally got me. They use local catch like sardines too, which I loved. Small menu but everything felt fresh. Just wish they had more seats, got a bit cramped. Still, that dish alone makes me want to go back.

Solid meal, nothing crazy but the ingredients tasted fresh. The seating area felt a bit cramped though, kinda hard to relax. Fine for a quick bite if you&#39;re in the area.

Stopped by a couple times while we were in town. The menu&rsquo;s got a bit of everything&mdash;juices, toasties, pasta. Really easy spot to grab a bite with friends, nothing fancy but solid. 😊

Stumbled on this place by accident, glad I did. The chickpea stew is what I keep thinking about, simple but really good. Service is friendly enough, just don&#39;t be in a rush when it&#39;s busy. Took a while to get our food but the flavors made up for it.

Stopped here before my flight. Grilled sardines were solid, real Portuguese taste. House wine cheap, like really cheap. Staff pointed me to the right dish, nice of them. 20 min walk from the airport, not bad. Would eat here again if I&#39;m ever back.

Stopped by for seafood. Fresh platter was solid, crab claws messy but worth it. Staff kept up even when it got busy. Good spot if you&#39;re not in a rush.

Came for the food, left thinking about that monkfish rice. Huge portion, easily fed three of us. The fish was fresh, rice well seasoned. Place was busy, but we never felt rushed. Traditional dishes done right. Maybe not the place for a quiet dinner, but solid if you want honest cooking.

The octopus rice was a solid portion for two, no doubt. Flavor was on point, smoky and tender. Place itself is pretty basic, nothing fancy. Service was fine, friendly enough. But the bill felt a bit heavy for such a casual spot. I&#39;d come back for that rice, just maybe skip the extras.

The fish counter is seriously impressive and prices are fair for what you get. Busy spot, but that&#39;s a good sign. Definitely felt like a local place.

The cod scramble was solid and the terrace made it a decent spot to eat. Service was quick too, no complaints there.

The pizza was solid and that hot sauce on the side had a real kick. Service was a bit slow though, waited around 30 minutes even with empty tables.

Stopped here before heading up to the castle. Coffee was decent, pastel de nata fresh and flaky. Nice little break, nothing fancy. The egg custard was still warm, which I liked. Place gets busy, but it works for a quick stop.

The chef&rsquo;s specials were solid&mdash;carpaccio, lamb chops, and steak all came out cooked right. They even brought a little amuse-bouche to start, which was a nice touch. Three floors of seating, so it never felt cramped. Just a heads up, it did get a bit noisy as the evening went on, but nothing that ruined the meal.

staff were very attentive and the service was very quick. The steak was cooked to perfection, the salad and rustic fries were the perfect accompaniment.

Could not fault the food. Everything was delicious and cooked as ordered to perfection. First class service and atmosphere. Will definitely return

Sat on the back patio under the orange trees. Nice spot, quiet enough. Ordered the grilled fish &mdash; came out a bit cold and overdone. Place was busier than normal, so maybe that&#39;s why. Would try it again on a slower night. Decent spot for a quick lunch if you&#39;re nearby.

Grilled sea bass was spot on, and that chocolate cake is dangerous good. Place was busy but we still got a table fast. Good spot to catch up with friends over dinner.
