What travelers say:
Wonderfully charming and homey ambiance you feel as though you’ve walked into someone’s dining room. One suggestion take a taxi as getting here can be challenging, it’s located in a residential neighborhood with very steep hills and narrow streets. And our GPS got confused and we drove around in circles. It’s a set menu for 38€, 7 courses, five starters and two mains one fish and meat. All of the dishes are authentic Portuguese cuisine and mostly seafood. Truly fresh ingredients, some highlights fresh clams in a garlic butter sauce, lightly battered shrimp, fresh fish with homemade pasta in a light broth with piri piri and cilantro. The pork on the bone in a light stew was so incredibly tender and juicy.The mini dessert sampler was fantastic! The almond crunch was fantastic as was the lemon and carob cakes. The service was excellent and our waiter is the son of the owner’s and his Mom is the chef who we met and thanked her for a truly phenomenal and special meal.

Set in a small village with a family hospitality Genuine local cuisine 7 different dishes served with desert, coffee water and wine as much as you like 👌A great experience
The restaurant is very welcomingI asked for a romantic touch and they made the effort! It was greatThis is the best place to taste the local Portuguese food.But bring cash because it is the only payment they accept
Amazing typical Algarvian restaurant. Only 38 euro's for a wonderful 7 course diner incl wine and coffee. Make sure you don't miss a visit to this unique place.
The food at this charming restaurant was delicious. It was our first experience here and it will now be our favourite restaurant to take friends or family or for a treat. They have a set menu where every dish is of excellent quality. There are 5 starters, 2 main courses, deserts, coffee, water, and wine included in the price, along with homemade lemonade for the designated driver. We had a tapas board, warm bread with olive oil and garlic, mackerel in onion sauce, tempura sardines, clams and cockles as the starters. The mains were monkfish with tomato rice and pork with roast potatoes. Desert was a selection of lovely traditional cakes. The whole meal could not be faulted.
