I enjoyed the service and food so much that I returned, and will do again. Super kind waiter, gentleman from Nepal, made my meal extra special with attentiveness and conversation. I had a vegetarian spaghetti dish which was absolutely delicious. Good prices for the area and lovely little place.

Amazing food and extremely friendly staff! Someone from my party forgot their phone and when they realized it, it was past closing time. Taking a flight back to Canada that night, they couldn’t wait until the next day to get it back. We managed to contact someone from the restaurant who paid a taxi to come back and open the restaurant for him to get his phone back. Very friendly and extremely helpful. We can’t say enough about this restaurant. Highly recommended!!

Great service, we felt very welcomed. The shrimp cocktail and garlic bread were ok, I’d prob try something different if I were to go back. The fish and chips were very good , probably my favorite part of the meal. Prawns with garlic were good but they were overcooked for sure.

Lovely place, friendly staff, great food. Amazing vegan options ( 3 dishes plus two soups). All fresh, crunchy and mouthwatering. Highly recommend. And the prices are budget friendly as well.

We had a lovely late lunch. We ordered steaks which came cooked perfectly. The garlic piri piri prawns were also excellent. Kids food was great, it came half child and rice with a bit of salad. The service was so friendly, and great with the kids. I would highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful dinner at this spot! We started with some delicious soup, followed by the sea bass for me and cod for my partner – both were absolutely amazing and truly traditional Portuguese dishes. The staff was incredibly attentive, making the whole experience even better. To top it off, the restaurant kindly treated us to some port wine to finish the evening. All of this for just 50 euros for the both of us! Highly recommend this place!
