We asked him to tell in the kitchen that these guests are not coming anymore. This is not the kind of service I'm used to in Portugal even at 14h!!!

Taberna do canal.... I sat down at a table they have outside, away from the blazing sun and asked the waitress what she recommended... well she brought me the BIFE À CASA , a steak with garlic souce.... simply amazing!!! Nice place, friendly people.... worth a try!

We traveled up and down Portugal and eat a lot out. But, as small as it is, offered one of the best grilled cods we've ever tasted. Delicious! read more We traveled up and down Portugal and eat a lot out. But, as small as it is, offered one of the best grilled cods we've ever tasted. Delicious!

I was going back for sure as I 'm on an eat everything the locals like journey. As I approached the specials board had a roasted pig dish and and a recommendation was cod in the house special tomato based sauce. The pig was excellent, with the skin crispy crunchy delicious, served with a green simple salad hand cut fried potato crisps €10. The cod was grilled, thick and meaty lightly covered by a delectable secret house tomato sauce; served with mixed shoe string vegetables broccoli. €15 The size of this meal was too much for 1 person more like a 2 person dish. Chef Joao came to our table to chat about rugby Downunder (Australia) NZ and of course I quizzes him on his special sauce. His wife Maria was our simply perfect host/waitress. Thanks for a great meal and the warm personal chatter to match! Vicki Sydney Australia
