We arrived in early afternoon and it was hot outside. We were walked through each of the rooms in the restaurant until we found the right table. Music was blasting and all were having fun. We decided it was too loud for our liking and decided to leave. Not. The staff made certain the live music was put on mute while we ate. Once finished, the guitarist returned and asked us in English what music we would like to hear. Well after 30 minutes of American folk songs we were on our merry way. The €5.50 lunch special including main, soup and coffee were more than we could eat. Beef, fish or tripe were the choices. Well worth the price. On our way out we were stopped by Aderito as he wanted to make sure we enjoyed. After 15-20 minutes of friendly talk and joking we were on our way.....oh forgot to tell you that Aderito gave us all his lovely restaurant t-shirt for remembrance. Please don't ask for a t-shirt as it was a personal surprise. Enjoy!

The service was quick; food well served, very close to the town centre. Not very much choice, and few places to seat. read more The service was quick; food well served, very close to the town centre. Not very much choice, and few places to seat.

Even though the restaurant was about to close, the owner saw that I was looking and invited me in. I was treated to a wonderful meal, lovingly prepared despite the late hour. They served me perfectly cooked beef medallions with mushroom sauce. I was made to feel at home and was not rushed, despite being the only customer in the place at the late hour. I felt so grateful for the hospitality that I returned the next day for a lovely lunch of fish. Fresh, perfectly cooked and again, lovingly served. Friendly people, good service and good food. What a tasca should be. I highly recommend it
