We sat down and had a couple of beers no issues whatsoever. The place got busier and we thought may as well stay for lunch. This is where the problems started. Service became painfully slow. We ordered prawns in garlic and to be fair our expectations were probably off piste. Eventually they arrive 6 giant prawns with some garlic chopped over them. They also forgot to bring the bread but didn’t forget to charge for it. The final straw was when when my good lady asked were the toilets where and the answer from the waiter was “kaput”. Not he best 40 euros ever spent so let’s hope things improve over the week.

Quality price excellent. Arroz de polvo very good. Great service. We have been very well attended. Food was frish and well cooked. read more Quality price excellent. Arroz de polvo very good. Great service. We have been very well attended. Food was frish and well cooked.

They serve typical Portuguese food, very big portions, are reasonably priced, and are open constantly for food. We ordered a fish soup as a starter to share and the portion was enormous! We then had jabali as the main and sepia and bean stew along with Sangria to drink. All very tasty and came to around 35EUR including bread, butter and sardine paste. The reviews seem to be from old management as they mentioned they are new here, so don´t be put off the older reviews and try it out. The staff is very friendly!

One of us had pig cheeks, another baby cuttlefish and the ladies had a selection of Tapas, including anchovies, smoked salmon,batatas bravas and a soup. great location down on the riverside. The only quibble was that the house wine was a tad expensive.
