The tasting menu with wine pairing set us back a good chunk of change, but honestly, the portions were decent for that price point. Each course came out looking sharp and the server knew what he was talking about when he explained the wines. I left full, which doesn&#39;t always happen with these fancy multi-course things. Just wish they&#39;d slow down the pacing a bit between courses, felt a little rushed at the end.

Vegan burger was actually really good, and I&rsquo;m picky about plant-based stuff. Sat outside in the garden, ducks and chickens just wandering around&mdash;kind of made the whole thing feel more fun. Price was fair too, not one of those places that charges extra just because it&rsquo;s vegan. Would come back if I&rsquo;m in the area.

The sea urchin emulsion was amazing, great wine suggestion from the sommelier (Nat Cool) and a rum pairing for the dessert. Only downside was the bad acoustics in the restaurant, had to raise my voice for the conversation.

The gluten-free options here are impressive, with a decent three-course set menu at a reasonable price. A great choice for those with dietary restrictions!

Tuna fillet was cooked properly, not dry at all. Seafood soup had real depth, tasted like the sea. Portions are generous for the price, left full without feeling stuffed. Staff let us eat in peace, only checked in once. Solid local spot if you&#39;re in the area.

I had a fantastic dinner with authentic Italian food, and the service was excellent.

Came back here after two years and it still holds up. The cod fish was solid, beer cold, wine fine. Service was friendly without hovering. Place was pretty packed but the vibe stayed relaxed. Only thing is the tables are a bit close together, but that&#39;s typical for this area. Happy we went again.

Good spot for a relaxed meal with a view. Fish dishes were solid, portions generous&mdash;three plates fed four of us easily. Nice local wine to go with it too.

The veggie soup with garlic bread was solid for &euro;6.30. Place felt pretty chill, maybe a bit too quiet though.

Stopped by this old place in Camacha for lunch. Got the traditional dishes, pretty solid. The food tastes homemade, you can tell they put effort into it. Prices are fair, not touristy at all. Nothing fancy but it works. Would eat here again if I&#39;m in the area.

Great spot by the padel courts, food was solid and staff friendly. Gets a bit busy with kids around but fine for a casual bite.

Came for the daily special at &euro;7 and honestly it&rsquo;s proper local food. Nothing fancy but you can tell it&rsquo;s made right. The room is pretty basic though, tables a bit close together. Staff were nice enough. Fine if you just want a quick honest meal without spending much.

The pistachio cheesecake was the highlight&mdash;beautifully plated and not too sweet. Would&#39;ve loved a dessert wine pairing option though. Nice quiet spot for an afternoon treat.

A madeira pizza, I&#39;ve eaten worse pizzas in Italy.  Promoted.

Craving for seafood. Oh yes it&rsquo;s one of the best seafood platter I have ever had. Alberto was so friendly and the flavour was amazing in food. Will definitely come back.

We enjoyed a lovely evening meal with garlicky limpets and octopus, paired with a nice glass of vino verde. The waiters were very entertaining!
